Yesterday was hot, hawt, sizzling and scorching! I like warm weather, but working in a room filled with computers only adds to the heat. Unfortunately, the forecast is that it will get cooler later this week and be crappy by the weekend.
Speaking of this weekend, after a few weeks of no concerts, we're back at it. On Sunday we're going to see Slash, former Guns N' Roses lead guitarist, top hat included.

The Spy Next Door, so it was quite a relaxing day overall. We're ready for another week with plenty of press gigs to attend (Disney stuff, Spider-Man, and a few others).
