Frontloading this week's fun

This is a cover of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" (watch the original video...it's weird) that Dave and the boys performed this past Monday. AND I WAS THERE!!!!!111!!1!1 The concert was mindblowing. I got emotional and was on the verge of tears during the encore (I blame it on the heat and the dancing). It was an intense cardio workout.

LeRoi, the sax player, was injured earlier this summer in an ATV accident and is still in a Virginia hospital, so Jeff Coffin from Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (and a lot of guest DMB spots) was filling in. Dave got the whole crowd to chant "We love Roi" for the cameras, so maybe this show will make it to DVD sometime. It was great.

There's a bunch of YouTube clips from the Lakewood Amphitheatre show here, and a bunch more from the tour itself here.

The journey begins

Out of bed at 6:45...on the road by 7:45...airport by 9:15 after a Chick Fil A stop. Thanks again for driving, Adam!

I've been to the Atlanta Airport many times, but I've never noticed the dinosaur skeleton at Terminal South. So I took a picture of it. A little ironic that we have something so ancient juxtaposed against the modernity of the airport...a little non sequitur I guess. More to come soon! Game on, San Diego.
