Wow! We had a real Knight come in to church tonight for a special men/boy's dinner. He actually took the traditional, 800-year-old oath of the Knight! Cool! He said that there are only about 25 real knights left in the United States, but throughout history, since the midieval times, there have always been knights. Cool!

I watched Monty Python and The Quest for the Holy Grail today. I think I'm the only guy in the entire planet that hasn't seen it. It's utterly hilarious. The parody on medieval lifestyle is just amazing. "Look you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left!" "Yes I have!" "Look!" "It's just a flesh wound!"

Well, so I drove by yesterday's crash site, and there were the biggest pair of skid marks on the shoulder, and where the shoulder ended, a pair of deep mud tracks into the ditch. Wow. I got a photo of my dirty car after being driven out of the ditch, and one of the minor frontal damage to the car.
Strolling had arranged a month ago to get the spotlight for the "Show Me St. Louis" show on KSDK Channel Five this afternoon, and suddenly, this morning, they call and said that they want us out of the show. They had "accidentaly" booked a guitarist in, and they "didn't want too many music groups playing". They told us that we were not to bring instruments, and we wouldn't play. The last time we played for the show, we got 15 minutes of feature time and interviews and stuff. Well, this time we go... 2 seconds, maybe? Oh, and we got to talk about our fundraiser. How about printing the phone number on the screen? They printed all the other groups that were there's phone numbers, but not us. Basically, they kicked us out. I wasted my entire afternoon for a bunch of silly nonsense outside on 104° weather for this crap. If we were to just show up for the Window on St. Louis morning show, without any prior notice, we'd get more time and attention. We had our event booked for a month. This other guitarist guy was put on the schedule like last week. I have nothing against the guitarist, he was really good, but somebody on the stupid TV station messed up. Somebody screwed up and is not taking any responsiblity for it. This does not represent Channel Five well at all.

Woah! It's The Great Handling Debate! Ok, after this, I'm staying pretty loyal to AWD.

Another fun rainy day! I think this one, you've gotta be there to be funny, but I was driving, and it had stopped raining. However, there were still big puddles of water on the pavement. Well, I was driving, and approached a car coming the opposite direction. I hit a water puddle just as he passed, and I happened to glance @ him, and he had his window rolled down! I saw the most frightened look on a person's face I'd ever seen in my life, and a big wave of water spulch in through his window! The hilarious thing was the expression on his face! Never had I seen such an expression of terror, as water came tumbling into his car. I feel really bad about it, but I can't anticipate people with rolled down windows on rainy days and time them properly with water puddles, it's not like I did it on purpose.

Woah, after thumping around in the car a few days, that Delta CD-ROM closes again, so I decided to put it back into the computer to see if it still works. Well, in spite of there being pieces of CD still stuck in there somewhere, it does. Cool! Owell, enough playing, I'll return this trash tomorrow.
