Well the day has finally arrived, my family is taking their first trip to KC! We will be picking them up after work tonight and they will be here until Sunday night. Hopefully we can show them a good time…

Lots of music type news for today:
Tanner Walle has a new website up, unfortunately it isn’t a trustED design project. You can preview all of the tracks from the new CD and even buy a copy if you so desire. I recommend at least loading up the audio player and listening to the three full tracks! I also have one of the tracks in my song of the moment section, which is in need of some updates. I’ll try and get another song of his up there sometime soon, but for now download “It Was.”

I recored Marc Broussard’s performance on the Jimmy Kimmel show earlier in the week. You can now download his performance of “Home” live on the show, enjoy! Oh yeah, if you can’t get it to play you probably do not have the proper MPEG-2 Codec, go here to download it and then it should work just fine…

O.A.R. recorded a music video with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and there are now excerpts from the video on this site website. It looks pretty cheesy, but maybe I need to see the whole thing. Either way, it is great publicity for the band!

After dinner last night we went and got our free icecream! I had chocolate peanut butter and Kim has cookies and cream, both were great. I swear there used to be a Baskin-Robbins on the plaza but we could not find it, and I just checked their website and discovered that it is not listed. Interesting…

From there Kim went to the movies again with Amanda and I was off to hockey. Or so I thought. I forgot that our game time had been moved from 9 to 8 from now on. By the time I showed up there was only 25 minutes left to play, so I left after watching everyone else play for a few minutes. Hopefully I won’t forget again…

Tonight we are going to clean up the apartment since my parents and Tim are coming to visit tomorrow!!!

Yahoo! turns 10 today and they are giving free icecream to all of their members. Go here to sign up…

Last night we headed up to the brooksider to meet up with Doni and Phil for their last night in town for awhile. Today they left for Mexico, and we get to watch their cat. They used to have 2 cats, but gave one to Christina (co-worker of Kim/Doni), so it should be a little easier now. Not that it was ever hard to do before. :) We almost got involved in a game of texas hold’em, but we quit when they made us all sit at different tables. We called ourselves “sore beginners.”

Progress is being made on DMB’s next studio CD. If you have not already been to dmbnewstudioalbum.com, go there now and watch the videos!

I’ve been experimenting with new counters/trackers for the site. You may have noticed some goofy messages at the bottom of the screen (they are gone now), that is what those were for. You may see some new messages too, I’m not sure I’m completely happy with what I have installed so far…

We got home from work just as Corinne arrived at our apartment. We eventually ended up at Kona Grill for dinner and drinks. I had pad thai which was quite tasty and Kim got her sushi. I’m not sure why we don’t go there more often. From there we just went back to the apartment and hung around the bar for the night…

Corinne is making the trek across the great state of Kansas today. I’ve recently realized how big of a state Kansas really is, and I am not jealous of her drive. According to maps.google.com it will take nearly 6 hours to cross the state and that is almost completely a toll road. I cringe at the thought…

In completely unrelated news, DMB’s summer tour dates have been announced. I’m not sure how many shows I’ll be able to make it to with my lack of vacation days, but we shall see. A weekend at the Gorge is very tempting. :) Also, we need a date for Pig-Fest ASAP!
