I'm tired.

Had a LONG day today. Started things off with church, which is a good thing, but did things differently today. We alternated between playing a song and then Dave talking about a segment of the message. While this definitely changed things up a bit, it was a bit awkward to get used to this first time through. Overall, it seemed to go okay. Crowd was a little down today as well... don't know what was up with that but it was good to see the faces of the people that did make it out. Another big plus was that I had my personal drums up there instead of the regular kit (which isn't too shabby BTW). I just like the look and sound of mine better, that's all. Actually, it's in preparation for the Riverfest gig Saturday. Wanted to be sure all was ready to go and also that I like the setup I'm using.

After church, a whole bunch of us headed to Red Lobster to chow down. Ran into my buddy David over there having lunch with his own group. Chatted with him a bit before putting a small dent in the crustacean population. I let Eric check out the tunes on my iPod while we were waiting on our food and after scrolling through the list, he looked over and asked "Do I know you?" LOL!!! I must admit, I have quite an eclectic mix of songs and artists on there. I'm just going to make a point of broadening my musical horizons and check out as many different genres as I can stand.

Took a short nap.

I was back up at the church at 4 as planned... Eric and I arrived at the same time and wondered the same thing... didn't someone say they were going to be there at 3:30? Heh. Kevin showed up around 4:20 or so. What was funny was that later on, Kyle asked the question out loud "Where were you at 3:30?". Apparently, he had come by. Philip showed up with his mixing board so we could crossover the subs on the PA. Big thanks to him for that.

Had a good night playing for the teens and a couple of adults. We let it all hang out tonight and turned the volume up several notches. I played pretty hard myself. To be honest, IT FELT GOOD. Things went well overall. I think we're really getting into a groove now as a band. We're used to each other's styles and such so we can play off of each other easily. It's very cool.

Dinner was at Logan's. Service was decent, but slow. Food was okay, no hair in anyone's food or anything like that so there were no hygine infractions to speak of. As usual, Eli and I had a few short exchanges of inappropriate conversation but no one else heard... we just laughed under our breaths like we always do. (Eli, we should really write some of that stuff down and come out with a book.)

Time for bed. I'm pooped.
