I got up early today today, finished packing, then played with Ells for a bit before she and Alison drove me to the airport. Ella's in a big Daddy phase right now, which is absolutely amazing, but it made it very hard for me to leave, and according to Alison, hard on Ella, too. No fun. They had a play date, though, and a good nap, so hopefully that helped.
I traveled for a looong time today. Flight to Houston, layover, flight to Dallas, but bad weather added an hour to each flight. 9 to 4 on airplanes. Ouch. Thank God for the video iPod. Seriously. I watched a movie, a Family Guy, a little bit of Keith Urban live (dude can play guitar) and the first episode of that new show "heroes" which was pretty lame. Last night's LOST wasn't on itunes by the time I had to leave, and I missed the Office tonight as well, so don't leave anything on here to give it away until I let you know they've been purchased, viewed and enjoyed.
A few months ago I started working with a small management company down here in Dallas, to help me get some things organized and make a few new things happen. Paul is my main manager, and we got to hang out today the most we ever have. It was fun. He's an interesting and inspiring guy. We ate a Chipotle and I swear he knew every other person that walked in the door, and they didn't charge him for his food either. Apparently, come to find out later. he cleaned their windows for two years in exchange for unlimited free burritos. Smart guy. Glad he's in my corner.
Tonight I played a set at a church here in Ft. Worth. I haven't really played around here much so I didn't expect a lot to happen crowd-wise, but I was pleasantly surprised. The room was nice and full and people seemed to get into the tunes. Frequent AndyLander Elijah drove all the way from College Station. That was awesome. Thanks man, I hope it was worth your drive.
I'm staying tonight at the house of the parents of another band Paul manages. They're called Green River Ordinance and they're pretty dang good. Straight up pop-rock and cool hair. A couple of them came out to catch my show tonight as well, which was very nice.
Well, I'm REALLY excited about getting to sleep in, so I'm going to go. Thanks to all of you who came out tonight, and who stayed late to chat. Looking forward to seeing a good crew tomorrow at the Caedmon's show in Dallas.

Do you mean a Big Daddy Weave phase?
Don't give up on Heroes just yet.... I thought the show got better after the pilot. Give another episode or two a try. It hasn't grabbed me like LOST has, but it's not bad.
the office was great...possibly one of the best of the series
wow, unlimited burritos sounds like my kind of deal to me also.
Hope all is well with you :)
QUESTION:
I saw something about you doing a solo show in xenia, oh. I live in Indy and that's 2 hours so I am gonna hit that up. But where in Xenia? I don't know much about the warrior princess and I have never heard of the town till I saw it on your list.
Help a brother out,

by the way...
Prison break is better then any of those other shows. Lost,24, heroes^Water compaired to Prison Break.
Heroes, lame? are you crazy!?
The quality isn't quite on par with "Lost", but at least there is progress instead of unending, hanging questions. (do you sense the bitterness?) I really loved the first season of Lost, the second one was great sometimes, and just ok the rest...but now it's just starting to get out of hand...too many questions, not enough answers.
Prison Break I really liked for a while too (mentioned above^) but I kind of fell out of it for a couple reasons...although I'm thinking about jumping back in eventually.
Chris, that was pure evil. [But hilarious.]
I totally thought of you during "The Office" this week... what with the whole bit about The Cardigans and all... classic.
