On a Naperville Night
Saturday, April 12, 2008 at 10:14AM
Well, last night was a pretty great night. The show with Jeremy and Eric was really fun. We went in a big round, two songs at a time, and each ended up playing seven tunes. I'm such a fan of my friends and it was great to be able to just jump in and sing along here and there, and have them do that for me.
I brought the Jazzmaster and a Memory Man and that was extra fun, as well, and nice to have another texture besides the acoustic guitar. I'm really digging this guitar, in a major way. (Did anybody get a good picture?)
After the show we walked two blocks to Giordano's pizza, a Chicago-land staple. We invited everybody from the show and ended up hanging with 15 or 20 or so folks and just had a good time.
Came back to the hotel, watched last night's The Office, which was painfully hilarious, and then got wonderful un-baby-interrupted slumber. Once I hit the "post" button here we're going to pile back in Alison's car (which she was so kind to let me take this weekend) and head back home. As great as it is to be out playing music with friends, it'll be good to get back.

I got a bunch of pictures, uploading them to Flickr right now. Dunno how many of them are "good", but there are a few of the guitar. :-)
I'll post some of 'em on ao.net when they're done.
This one's not too bad:

Hey Andy,
Thanks for great show and great night. The Jazzmaster served you well and vice versa; thanks for letting me play it.
Chris, it was good to meet you; apparently you made it home safely.
unlike battlestar i have seen episodes of the office. my wife and i started watching it about a month ago and are over half way through season 3. the show is freaking hilarious. i found myself rewinding parts that i missed from laughing so hard with tears streaming down my face.
and as for the jazzmaster, the name reminds me of an exercise machine. shows you that i'm not too musically inclined. ;)

Great show!!! it was my first time seeing both you and Jeremy.
It was so cool to see you guys interact and feed off each other, even if it was unexpected at times (clapping) etc..it made good laughs...
It was great to see you jump in and add some depth to the other guys' music. The Jazzmaster served you very well for sure. "New Beginning" was incredible.
Come back to Naperville soon! I will be there for pizza next time, my one month old little girl was at Grandpa and Grandma's and had to get picked up....
Thanks for a great night.
I've been to giordanos once and it changed my life.
The Jazzmaster looks great, I'm definitely on the brink of coveting
Hey Andrew,
What made you choose the jazzmaster over the jaguar? We're in the market...
Thanks!
Thanks, Andy, Eric and Jeremy for a great show. And thanks again to you and all the guys for letting us hang with you and have darn good pizza and garlic bread....oh and Fat Tire. Outta sight. Nice to meet all you fellas from Peoria, Iowa and the like. Let's do it again sometime.
