Not bad for a Monday

Went to bed tired - woke UP tired. That was a lot of running around and doing stuff yesterday. I'm not complaining, I had a great time for sure. Work was easy today. Had a few things to do but nothing out of the ordinary. Had lunch with the ladies at El Portal, my first time there. Place was very clean and the food was tasty. Going to have to add that place to mys list of eateries.

Before we headed back to the office, we stopped in at the bookstore to check out some magazines and have some coffee. Needed the caffeine to ward off the afternoon nappy feeling.

After work, me and the family headed over to the steakhouse in Moulton for dinner. Ran into some folks I knew there. Dinner was excellent! They did a good job on my NY strip. I didn't need any type of sauce to spice it up. It was delicious on its own.

Back at the house, I unpacked and set my drums up again. That's a lot of work. Set them up slightly different this time - at an angle in the room. Bass response of the drums is MUCH better this way. I guess I was getting some sound cancellation on the kick drum when I had it facing directly at another wall. Gonna have to clean my stuff up... chrome, cymbals, shells... they're all in need of a wiping down. Looks like my drums survived the adventures of the past two weeks and didn't get scratched. Yeah baby! That's what I'm talkin bout! I know I'm anal about my stuff but the time I take to be careful lessens the chances of things getting damaged.

Thanks to everyone that sent me pictures from Riverfest. They're looking good. Unfortunately, most straight shots of me were blocked by SOMEONE'S MUSIC STAND. Note to all involved... the Asian's made it without music as was the plan. Heh. Seriously though, we all need to learn our songs and commit them to memory. As Kevin pointed out before, the stage looks significantly better when it's not littered with music stands everywhere.
