WOW! Thomas Lang is awesome.

Left the office early yesterday to catch a drum clinic with Thomas Lang, a talented drummer from Austria. Before leaving, I had to swing by my insurance agent's office to get a new homeowners insurance policy in place. Yay. Arrived home to find even less trees in my yard as a result of 5 trees being removed from my yard. The house and yard will be much brighter now, less leaves to deal with in the fall, less bird poop on my patio and no more sap issues parking under trees in the driveway. All in all, it's for a good cause.

Kyle showed up and we headed north. Stopped in at a Kyle Recommended™ eatery, Famous Dave's Pit BBQ and had a filling dinner. I had some surprisingly good cornbread with my meal. I'm usually not a big fan of it but this was exceptional. Made another pit stop to drop video stuff off at Shane's place before we continued on to our destination. After realizing that I didn't figure the estrogen factor into the driving directions I had been provided, we made course corrections and arrived at Soundcheck Studios only a few minutes late. Got in our chairs and spent 2 hours dazzled by Thomas' skill. WOW. HE'S AMAZING. Afterwards, I was able to get him to autograph my DVD of his as well as a poster. Also got a goofy shot of he and I as he was signing my stuff. Ran into Kusi up there too. Gave Jennie a hard time about the driving directions then took off.

Headed back homeward but had to make another pit stop at Shane's to pick up some stuff. Got to talk to Melody a bit and play with the dogs. After a long ride home, I finally got in bed around 1 AM.

I'm a little tired this morning.
