How’s everybody doing? If this is Friday it must be Paris. Paris Texas I mean! Actually we are someplace outside Austin. It’s 4 am and were stuffing down some excellent bbq’d beef. Just a short note. Two nights ago we had Mick Mars come up and play on stage with us. We figured a good song would be “Stop Messin’” and it turned out to be the right choice. We did the Don Nix song “Going Down” at the sound-check and it kicked ass. So I figured Mick would fit in ok on “Stop Messin’.” As it turned out he really ripped it up and we had a great time. He’s got great blues chops even though he plays classic metal in the Crue. I have a feeling we may do this again before the tour is over. I gave him a DVD of the song for a present and he gave me one of his favorite fuzztones effects pedals. Like I said before, these guys have been great to tour with. Not only are they great to play with but Nikki even outfitted us with his new clothing line that is available at Niemen Marcus. Steven and I just taped a funny Birthday greeting for Red Sox hurler Curt Schilling. It was his 40th Birthday this week. We are going to put up the video early next week.
Until next time!
