fun

The trip to NJ was great, even the 16 hour drive there and back. I indulged in many games of Madden 2006 with Steve...though the Titans were definitely faring better in make believe than in real life. Aaron Sands was the star fullback, the threat within the 5 yard line and occasional passing routes along the sideline. Steve Mason led the defense with his cornerback skills, intercepting passes and blitzing from the corner. Of course, Matt Odmark returned as the shortest, largest kicker (5' 5" and 415 lbs.).

The show was so much fun, playing for the 8-10,000 in the arena. Even though they'd heard lots of music throughout the day, they were right there with us the whole set. I miss playing the Jars songs and making spontaneous music with them, leading and following as the night goes on.

The last few days I've been playing with Ken Lewis, Andrew Osenga, Andy Gullahorn, and Matt Stanfield, tracking the new Jill Phillips record. Its been an extreme pleasure to be involved in this, recording amazing songs and spending time with friends. I can't wait to hear the finished product.
