Hanging Out At Sandy Beach

Today Hannah, and I spent the day at Sandy Beach with our dog Sasha. I recently got a new camera, a Canon G12, that I got to use for the first time today. I have to say I am pretty happy with it. Below are some of the pictures I took. I didn’t do any color correcting or anything. These are just straight from the camera.

My 4 Hour Body Update

Since January 10, 2011 I have been on the Slow Carb Diet as described in the book, The 4 Hour Body. I am happy to write that I am trilled with the results! I feel great. I look great. I have more energy than ever before. It’s just amazing!

My Weight Loss Graphed Out

The image above shows my weight loss as I have documented it. Any gaps are the result of not being able to record my weight due to being away from my scale.

You may have noticed from the graph that I seem to have stopped making progress. This is true. I am currently within my BMI range. I could lose a few more pounds and tight up my body a bit more if I did ANY exercise at all. I am slowly talking myself into picking up the Kettlebell work out. If I do, I might just have to post some before and after photos.

4th of July Music

My band, Fire on McGinnis played a show at a local bar in downtown Juneau. Starting at around 10:15PM on July 3rd and finishing up at 2:30AM on July 4th (I have written before about how Juneau, AK celebrates the holiday by doing its fire work show the morning of the 4th) I was quite sore and tired after all was said and done, but I had such a good time playing for so many awesome people. Check out the couple of YouTube videos below from our performance.

Thanks goes to Bo Anderson for making these recordings. I really appreciate buddy!

Playing A Show July 3rd For Independence Day

I am pretty excited about this. My band, Fire on McGinnis will be playing a 4th of July show on July 3rd at the Rendezvous bar.

Some of you who are not from Juneau Alaska might be scratching your heads and wondering; why on earth should he be excited about playing a show the day before the 4th of July? Well the answer is this. Because in Juneau its light out most of the day this time of year. The only time it gets dark enough to celebrate Independence Day in Juneau is at 12:01 AM on the morning of the 4th.

I have always had a good time playing shows at the Rendezvous and I am looking forward to this one. So if you happen to find yourself on Franklin street celebrating the holiday come on over to the bar and celebrate with us!

Roof Top Gig

Silver Bow
Silver Bow

The band I drum for Fire On Mcginnis, has an opportunity to play a roof top gig above the Silver Bow in Juneau this Friday, July 1st. This last Sunday a couple of members of the band and myself headed over to the Silver Bow to check out the roof and to start figuring out the logistics of getting all our equipment up all the stair cases as well as how we where going to get power for all the amps.

My breath was taken away as I saw the view looking over the capital city. I snapped some pictures with my iPhone to share with everyone. If something happens with the weather or whatever that might prevent us from playing I am really glad I had the opportunity to see all this. I don’t know how many people get to look out over roof tops and see what I saw, but it was beautiful.

The band and I now have a mental plan of how we are going to get everything setup and we will be spending the next couple of weeks working with the owner the business so we can make it all happen. Lets just hope the weather works with us. I can’t imagine doing anything cooler right now than playing a roof top gig in downtown Juneau Alaska.
