    When I first read this, I thought it was 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. I guess I should have known he was playing the early early bird special. He'll be done in time for the the 4:00 p.m. dinner buffet, and back at the home by 6:00 p.m.

    So, either Homer paid you to post this, or you're Homer's alter-avatar. Which is it?

    So did you guys meet Homer? He's a hell of a nice guy and a good friend of mine.

    BTW, Homer is a very well know professional musician and drummer. Has toured the world, played professionally in LA and Branson. He's even won a Canadian Grammy.

    It was a great time! Got to BS with Orion for a bit. (not too long, since old age was getting to both of us....). Met Homer, and the other band members. Awesome day for it too!

    Fucking bullshit.

    That's the last time I take someones word for it when I get a PM that says Ill pay you $100 dollars if you show up at this event!!!!

    I am all about contracts from here on out!!!

    Awesome day! And it was great to meet you Doug!. Homer, I thought we meet at one of the suite games? Maybe I'm having an Alzheimers moment?
    If not well then it was nice meeting and chatting, but I thought we had met before, lol.
    So How much you gonna pay me to NOT post the portion of the show I have on video where you almost fell backwards on your stool and fucked your whole timing up and sent your drumstick flying out into the crowd trying to keep your balance?

    I have to jet to another show, but good times and should have some vids up tomorrow. You guys sounds really good man. Serious talent in the three of you for sure!

    Okay. I must first confess that Doug fucked me all up. Any and every camera angle fuck up is 100% on Doug. First, not only did he introduce himself to me by trying tp push me into the front and start a mosh pit, but then he kept talking to me and distracting me and then the next thing I know I would look back at my viewfinder and see I'm aiming at the ground.
    Yep, 100% your fault @Dougnsalem. lol.

    I was going to edit those portions out, but just decided to leave the footage as is, because the music still came through great. I have a camera made for recording live shows, so it its pretty nice and I was actually surprised that it sounded as good as it did with me moving it all around because I didn't bring the microphone that attached to it and just went with the stock mic in the camera. However the sound still came out quite good considering.

    If you listen close you can even hear Doug and I talking smack about members like @SlyPokerDog and @Chris Craig. ;)

    Anyhow, this is the first of three and I wish I would have got there earlier, because when we first arrive, before I made it to the actual band, I could hear some really good music that was more up my personal tastes. Kinda funky progressive rock stuff.

    I was pretty impressed with the relaxed nature and yet intricate playing of the band. Obviously decades of pro experience and it shows in how well they played while being so relaxed and having fun.

    Usually my wife cant stand going to shows and large crowds, but I was the one who actually wussed out first and left. Frickin back. Cant stand still for long periods anymore. I can walk all day long, bu the moment I start standing still my back locks up on me. Fucking sucks.
    I still got some decent footage coming in three parts.

    Part1:

    I think because I edited it to get the band name correct and it had to reload. Its almost done now.
    And its taking longer now, because its trying to load 1 and 2 at the same time.. ugghh. I need to get out and start on yardwork, lol.

    Shit. After all that time, it said the second video is too long. Its a 20 minute vid. Ive seen 1hr long plus shit on youtube!!! I might have to come back to this tonight, but there is about 40 minutes worth of footage total, the first segment was the short one.
