Gmail Is Cool

I'm loving my gmail account. I don't fully utilize it because it's such a pain to redirect everyone but it's been helpful for work the last few days. I've been having trouble getting rid of invites after the first three or four. Gave my cousin one last night. Still have three left. There's a great site for swapping your invites. I'm trying to barter and address for a six course dinner for four. Wish me luck. =)

Ronny's Funeral Webcam

The associated press has a live webcam setup for the Regan Funeral that let's you see people go by:

I found it while reading this Times article:

Seems kinda morbid to me but better hurry up and check the link while it's still going on. =)

Radio Star

My band recorded our first promotional cd this weekend. Hopefully we'll be comming to a wedding near you =). It was a fun experience. Our base player Paul's son JP did the recording. He has this insane home studio setup that probably cost more than 10 times what my car is worth?
Speaking of my car, the current plan is to fly to Texas where my father will assist me in obtaining a new one. He's the one who's good at this stuff so I might as well let him help me.
I spent Sunday night with Kenny watching the final Sopranos of the season and eating giant sandwiches. They're not even going to start filming the next season until next April or May. I'm gonna have to sate myself with old West Wing episodes on Bravo. Is it just me or does TV just suck nowadays? There are so few good shows.

Rocking the PNC Arts Center

Got to see Blink 182 and No Doubt last night thanks to Mr. Duy Nguyen. Pretty good show. I went with Ruy, Charia, and Theresa. Ruy ever the sound engineering musician was saying the vibe he was getting from No Doubt was that the band didn't seem into it probably because of the attention Gwen get. =P He thinks that's pretty lousy of them when all the people cam to see a show. I thought they were good. A bit off at times, but I heard it was only there second show in a long time. Ruy said the Arts Center sound is really low, probably because of the neighborhood or something. He said at Woodstock the amps only put out 150 watts and it wasn't that loud. There's guys drivng around Newark with 10 times that in their car. Gwen really knows how to move. I don't know how she can sing and move like that at the same time. All in all a good show. =)
