the drumline i am in was the opening act for the Modern Drummer Festival in Jersey today. in the usual style for us, we almost missed the entire gig because the fuel pump on our car died in the middle of staten island. thank heavens for enterprise rent-a-car. thought it was gonna be a terrible day after it started out like that, but it turned out great.
on top of having an awesome day hanging out and playing with drummers like dan carey(drummer from tool), chad smith(chili peppers), ian paice(deep purple), keith carlock(sting/steely dan), rodney holmes(santana), liberty devito(billy joel) and jason bittner(shadows fall), we landed a bunch of endorsements so we can get decent drums and equipment finally, and on top of that we solidified being on the bill for next years festival.
definately have to chalk today up as one of the better days i've had in a while. = )

of all places for the car to die...sheesh! sounds like you had a shit ton of fun, though, which is a good thing.
