I hit zero point zero guitar clams at the first place, maybe one or two in Middletown, but the drunken audience there never heard them. We absolutely killed it @ both venues. We're good together. Got a ton of attaboys on the lead guitar work which was great to hear. We'll keep playing together, this could be going somewhere.

This playing in front of an audience that likes you is great. Plus my little 2 song acoustic solo mini set went over big in Warwick, they loved the 'I Hope' original. Absolutely the most fun I ever had playing in front of people. I'm getting far more relaxed. I'm particularly less nervous when I'm up there with another player, I am focused more on supporting the duo, not worrying about what the audience thinks of me.

Positive reinforcement. Pcad rocks on.

That's awesome man congratulations! I also give you credit for having the nerve to get up there at your bodyweight...

If you are going to give credit give it to the craftsman that managed to construct a stage that will hold both his weight and his ego. That is some amazing engineering.

If it collapses under his weight, don't worry, it's just a stage he's going through.

Always a good choice. If you have netflix and it's still up, go for a double feature with Cycles South.

Went to the Toronto Bike Show last night. Ran into Steve Bauer again, and he recognized me, which is unspeakably cool.

Saw the new Cervelos. The new paint job on the S5s looks really really good in person. They had last year's S5 in Rival for $2600 which made me sad, because I can't spend $2600.

Grand Fondos are exploding. There's like a dozen of them scheduled for the Sept 9 and Sept 13 weekends.

The booth babe at the Cippolini booth was gorgeous. The bikes are pretty too, but a little overpriced.

I got 5 tubes of chamois butter for 50% off, a giant tub of Recoverite for 30% off, and a Gabba rain jersey for spring/fall commuting.

Third episode of "House of Cards" on Netflix. A masterpiece of a program.

Woke up early today and decided to go for a ride without waiting for it to warm up.

Just started watching this on recommendation from my boss, and after realizing Kevin Spacey is in it. Great show.

Still waiting for GoT to show up on Netflix... If it ever happens.
