How true is that? I've made lots of internet friends who turned into
"real" friends after meeting in person... including you. It only takes a
couple words and a hand shake to figure out if they have a screw loose.

Just based upon our internet conversations I was already 95% sure you
didn't have any loose screws, but watching you prepare for the gig
before I finally decided it was ok to "bother" you was the final proof.
I didn't get that same air of professionalism from the other drummer I'd
met earlier that evening. :-)


Well thanks. (was that the opener?)

I bet you weren't so sure about me, when I went straight in for the
bro-hug. :-)

Nah; I thought nary a thing of it. I'm definitely a hand-shaker and not
a hugger (unless you're a girl), but I can handle the occasional
"bro-hug", as long as you don't get too carried away. :-)


I wasn't sure how they handle things down in Texas. :-)

You don't know how tempted I was to do the Bill Murray, uncomfortably
long, awkward hug from Groundhog Day.
