I am a master of the DVR. I will catch up just as the end coverage of the race for the night. I can delete 8 hours of the race. I will not get into the details of the race in case anyone else is recording for later viewing. Coverage starts again tomorrow morning at 8:00 and goes to the end of the race.

I also got a nice autograph for Rick's wife. I happened to be walking to a booth I wanted to visit as I was texting Rick.

I usually don't do the autograph thing, but I figured that Phil would recognize me and it would be okay. Well, that was the booth I was heading to. I got a pic with Phil and asked for an autograph - to which he assumed was for me and signed one to me. I kind of mentioned that I was really looking for an autograph for a friends wife... He was kind enough to sign another for me. :D

What really surprised me, was that the owner of the company recognized me and chatted me up for a few minutes and proudly showed off his newest amp. This was the guy that reluctantly let me into his shop a couple years ago to study Les Paul's and ultimately brought out his real '59 for me to look at and hold and subsequently told me I could call him anytime if I needed dimensions for other guitars - a real, real honor. I have not seen him since the NAMM last year.

Ohhh ok.

My 5 y/o does jiu jitsu at a small mom and pop MMA academy out here. The instructor is a big heavy metal guy and does security for Korn and Five Finger Death Punch on he side. So there's a seminar next week my kid is going to because he's a competitor and the 5FDP guitarist is participating and doing a meet and greet after. So my 5 y/o asked me for a 5FDP cd so he could get it autographed...parent of the year!
