In two words: Don’t Sleep.

Seriously! Each time I decide things are winding down and it may be okay to head to bed, (and inevitably do) it always comes back to bite me in the ass. I wake the next morning, head to the office, and a steady stream of bleary-eyed co-workers come in to tell amazing tales from the early-morning hours.

Last night was a particularly terrible night to turn in early. (Early = 1am.) So far, I’ve heard about a stand-up comedy act by John Mayer, which was deemed hysterical; and awesome set by Brendan James right outside the casino; and a disco dance party (DJ’ed by John) that was still going strong at 7am. 7 AM!!

In short, sleeping is an activity that should be saved until returning home.

Now I can say that the times I have been awake have been AMAZING! I’m especially excited to have had the opportunity to catch a Pictures and Sound show. Luke Reynolds, formerly of Blue Merle, fronts the band, and he brought along Gabe Nelson on bass from the band Cake and Aaron Refield on drums from the bands Greyboy Allstars and Fiction Family. I enjoyed every last second of it, and can’t wait to check out more.
