I like to party early...

The John Reuben show was pretty cool. It was a long, hot, and stressful day. Everybody ended up using my drumset, which was cool with me because I got to play my drumset too. The RPM set was...interesting...but everyone seemed to like us, or at least they told us they did, which is just as good. My favorite of the opening bands was Exclusive to None, who are from Joplin, and who had only been together for pretty much as long as I've been playing with RPM. John Reuben's set was awesome, but very short as a storm moved in about 30 minutes in. I didn't have a camera, so I drew you this picture.I also never got to actually meet JR, but I got to talk to Brad Binion and Seth Earnest, who are both incredible musicians as well as real nice people. Or at least they pretended to be nice, which is just as good.
