TRL and kittens



Something very interesting happened the other day. I answered a Craig'slist posting, and I got a call back about it. Ok, not so interesting yet, but what if I said that MTV was the caller. More interesting, yes. TRL? Now you see. The caller, Jennifer, told me that I would be one of 3 drummers who would audition to play with the band Plus 44--Blink 182+1--on TRL, this Friday. Whoa! The deal was that Travis Barker-drummer-hurt his hand and they were going to do some spiel where the lucky drummer (i.e. me) plays with Plus 44 on the song "When your heart stops beating," and then Travis comes up, we trade pleasantries, and he goes up and rocks it with one good left hand and and snare trigger on his left foot. Genius idea, right? Well, it got canned and it isn't happening. Major bummer? Well no. It got me pretty psyched up to be a rock star and I got into ultra-super-duper-Jack-Bauer practice mode, plus TRL is keeping my info for future showcases. All in all, +plus+ sign for me! Oh, and this picture(s) is amazing.
