Yesterday was a very fun and interesting day. I got to do something I had never done before - I officiated a wedding. Sunday, August 2nd, 2009 in Carrollton, TX Chip and Cheryl James were married by a tattooed atheist freak in a ceremony that included blessings and recitals by a Celtic priestess and dogs as members of the wedding party. It was definitely an honor and a privilege to be part of their celebration.
The added bonus was that the ceremony gave me the excuse and the perfect day for a solid ride on my Majesty. I've been racking up miles on it around Austin pretty well but itching for good highway trip. Getting to and from Carrollton put a little more than 425 miles on the odometer - almost exclusively highway cruising. I was already very happy with the Majesty but this trip really sealed it for me. It rode very well and I was perfectly comfortable going for hours stopping only to re-fill the tank & grab a quick snack.
I'm working on another video, hopefully to be completed before I leave for Coney Island later this week. I've gotten some good feedback on the ones I have done thus far and I am really enjoying doing them in sepia and silently so that probably isn't going to change anytime soon. If I were to add sound it would probably be to just overlay some Lizard Skynard as a soundtrack. Speaking of which, things are starting to move with that project. We are looking to be in a studio recording late this year or early 2010 and possibly touring shortly thereafter.
If you are around NYC, remember I will be part of the Coney Island cast from August 7-16. So, please come down and support Coney and say hi. I will likely be doing a special evening performance of my own show as well, probably on the 12th which I would love to see you at.
And finally, some of my favorite people in the world will be touring with Dethklok later this year: Mastodon. I would go see a Dethklok show anyway but the fact that they keep going out with bands that I love and are my friends to boot is just fantastic (last year Chimaira, this year Mastodon).
