i didnt take nearly as many pictures as i should have on my trip. Still kicking myself that i dont have a picture with Randall and Andy in the Velvet Eagle…that’s almost unforgivable. oh well. here’s a few of the times that i did have my camera handy. i guess i’ll do these in somewhat chronological order. (thanks to geof for taking most of these pictures)

here’s jeremy casella and i enjoying good coffee and good conversation at Bongo Java in East Nashville. I really enjoyed hanging out with him and talking. It was definitely something I’d do more of if i lived there. Jeremy’s working on a record now that i will be pimping very hard here once it is finished.

here’s me in the bathroom at Bongo Java (not going to the bathroom, just in the bathroom…that would be gross). I just thought it was a cool bathroom wall so i snapped a picture of it. That news reporter in the background is saying something to the effect of “there are aliens jumping out of urinals in Nashville”.

Here’s derek and i hammering tacos from the San Antonio Taco Company (SatCo if you’re cool). I’m rocking the chicken taco in that picture i think, though i also had the pulled pork and the beef. Not the best decision at 11:30pm, but they were worth it.

Before we left derek’s house i had to snap a picture of his guitars. pretty maids all in a row. you can even see the infamous guitar with a hole in it there towards the back.

visual proof of the breakdown. That’s geof standing by his truck while Butch loads her up onto the wrecker. I-65 will always hold a special place in my heart after that incident.

derek, yours truly, and mr. new york times best-seller list himself, don miller. apparently right before this picture was taken the photographer (aka geof) said “derek and don, try to look unamused”. they captured that sentiment quite well. even still, i was happy i got the picture because catching up with the two of them was basically the reason for the trip.

there’s a few other photos that might show up later…but those basically summed up what happened. although, like i said, i’m pretty ticked i didnt get a photo with andy and randall. but that’s neither here no there.

back at work for two days…next week i’ll actually be up in Massachusetts for a work-related conference. should be a hoot.

Alisa: that is a Cliff face. Scary.

I should have taken a few of these with my camera, but … I didn’t.

I know, I’ve yet to post my thoughts on the trip. I suck. I’m just overwhelmed right now, but … perhaps tomorrow. [BTW, my right rear tire went out today ... another day, another $60 on this truck. GAH!]

[...] Hey everyone. Just wanted to let you all know that i got to connect with Don for a couple minutes last week in Birmingham (the riveting details of my trip down South can be read here at my blog). Geof (the tech brains behind this thing) and myself (the not-so-great and certainly-not-powerful idiot behind the curtain) met up with Don and Derek Webb at a joint show they did last Thursday night. In fact, here’s a pic of me between derek and don. [...]

[...] Of course, Bryan knows what Fido’s is only because we hit Fido’s with Derek back in October, before going over to his house later to partake of his gracious hospitality in providing crashspace for us on the trip. [DW, you rule.] I will keep most of my fanboy moments to myself, but you can imagine the variations on the one I had as I was going to sleep: “I’m about to sleep on Derek Webb’s couch!” [...]
