Look at this cool picture of me gambling. Know what's not cool? Losing $30 dollars in five minutes.

Autumn is just around the corner and I just returned to Virginia after spending two weeks in Connecticut at the beach - two weeks which absolutely flew by. I had a great time; life slowed down to a rational pace and I enjoyed the company of friends as well as a plethora of drinks, a bevy of beverages, and a cornucopia of cocktails. What's more is we caught and ate fresh lobster from in between Groton and Long Island, saw the presidential helicopter flying up the shoreline, eventually passing directly over us (Michelle Obama and the kids on their way to Nantucket?), and hiked, biked, and kayaked nearly every day. I also went to see Cirque at the MGM Grand - good show. I am golden brown from being in the Sun almost every day for two weeks. I will miss the beach at night when the moon is full and the sky is clear.

Geoff and I have an upcoming performance this Thursday, August 20th at Blues BBQ Co. in Roanoke. Definitely come hang out with us if you're in the area! While I was on vacation the late great Les Paul passed away and he had a huge influence over modern popular music. Apparently Bob Dylan was picked up by a police officer who didn't recognize him and thought he was acting strange. Click here to read the story, though it is written by The Daily Mail so take it with a grain of salt. It fits into Dylan's invented narrative though so it's an entertaining read. Lastly, Smashing Pumpkings gets a new 19 year old drummer. Remains irrelevant while doing so.[1]
