Sticky... Check.

Well, as I write today, I sit in my hotel room in downtown Houston on the back end of a travel day from purgatory (notice... not as bad as hell). But, I am in one piece and feeling good, about to get ready to go have a nice meal with my wife. The purpose behind our trek here to H-Town is to celebrate the wedding of two of our best friends in the world, but I'll post more about them in a couple days.

Last night was a blast, B and I went to a secret taping of Rascal Flatts performing for Nissan Live Sets on Yahoo!. The show was on a literal sound stage at Fox Studios in Century City, them same stage where they filmed the "Leo dies in icy cold water" scene from Titanic. Only the set is now decked out with a truly bitchin' stage and sound system. So, to make a long story short the band played all of their hits and a few new cuts from their upcoming record (which were very clean) and also did some Q/A with the audience. Highlight of the night was when drummer, Jim Riley, lost a stick, and though he smoothly drew another from a nearby quiver, realized (with a look of anguish on his face I might add) that these takes need to be perfect for the audio/video recording... and yes... they stopped and started again... amazing and hilarious. After this performance, I am a true Rascal Flatts fan and look forward to seeing them again. Be sure to catch that live set when it's posted online. The Brown's grills should be plastered all over it.

Peace, NcB.
