Back down in Champaign. I will be doing some shooting for the video show that I am producing. Looking like it is going to be a great show.

I had a lot of interesting things happen on the way down here. As I just get on 57, the clouds roll in and the sky turns dark. Rain starts pouring down, ’til I can’t even see were I am going. I have to pull over to take a bit of a break from driving. Get a call from Chris and he says that there was a tornado going through where I was heading. Looks like I missed it by 15 minutes or so. Not really a big fan of tornados, so I was happy that I missed this one.

On the way down I had to pick up a TV that is part of our show set. Got to the house at a break in the storm, but couldn’t find the guy that I was looking for. Apparently he was a little inebriated and resting a bit. Chris told me that he might be at the neighbors, so I went knocking over there. Neighbor guy was really nice. He said that the guy was probably sleeping and tried knocking, but no answer. The TV that I was picking up was out in the open, so neighbor guy and I got it into my van and that was that.

Here in Champaign, I decided to go out. Kayla Brown and Mad Mardigan were playing at the Cowboy Monkey. Mike Ingram started the night DJing some 80s tunes. I have to admit that I love the 80s. I grew up with it and love how fun that music is. Even now it is hard to not start moving when you here the classics.

Kayla Brown went on and did her usual great show. Love her voice. So sexy. She played some song that I hadn’t heard before. Loved the whole set.

My friend Jack is the lead singer for Mad Mardigan. He has been trying to get me out to one of their shows for awhile now. I have heard him do solo sets, but this was the first time that I had heard the full band. They were definitely something different for this town. I liked it a lot. They were loud as hell and I liked it.
