yes, this is what they have you do in dance all the time. you think of your movement in space and in your body. works for anything--even thinking through situations [ie; planning for an uncomfortable discussion]. i recently played my first drumming+singing gig [just one tune]. we only had one rehear...

sooooo... did any of yous get to hang? how was namm? it seems like a veritable shitshow, but i imagine there's an upside. my friend got invited to play drums at one of the booths. i was happy for him, as it seems he got to network. randy was kind enough to post a few colon pipe shots on fb. and i no...
