T Minus Two Days...


and counting.

Really, I don't know if it just hasn't hit me yet or what, but I'm not really nervous or worried about getting married. I'm just ready to get this show on the road. There's been tons of planning and anticipation and it's to the point where everything is moving at light speed now (a setting I don't function well at) and I think it's starting to make us both slightly crazy.

Not that I was anticipating cold feet or anything like that. It is odd, I had never planned on getting married (as my dad likes to remind me every chance he gets.) That, of course, was before I met Kristen. I know it sounds cliche, but you really do know when the right one comes along. In fact, I never really proposed, it just seemed like marriage was the right thing to do.

So it's all pretty cool. If anything, I'm excited about spending the rest of my life with my best friend. We have so much fun together and I think we compliment each other nicely.

I'd also like to add we got interviewed by Channel 13 a few days ago about having a 7/7/07 wedding. I have no idea how that is going to come out, but I think it's going to air tomorrow at 6.

I also thought I'd share some music I put together as background for the cocktail hour and such. It's some of my favorite jazz slow jams, hopefully, you'll dig them too.

I rocked Lincoln Center last night...

without ever leaving Indianapolis. In fact, I was home with a stomach cramp. Heck, I didn't even know I was killing 'em in Wynton's house.



Insert my rock here.

Ok, I may be stretching things a hair, but a crowd of people did hear me play drums at Lincoln Center last night. And I'm coming soon to a TV near you...assuming you have Showtime.

My friend and long time musical collaborator (man, it feels pretentious to say that) Jon Autry managed to get six of his songs in the new This American Life show Showtime is doing. In fact, they liked his music so much, the only other person to have so much in the show was Mark Mothersbaugh, who Jon is likely to get to meet, lucky dog.

Anyway, he hadn't heard what or how they were using the tracks prior to the show's debut party at Lincoln Center last night. As he describe it to me, at the climactic moment of one of the stories they showed, there's my drums, rocking it out balls to the wall.

Kind of funny some track we recorded four, five years ago in the living room of the place he was living is going to be on a cable TV show. I'm pretty stoked to see this.
