We slayed the Hurricane in KC last night.  Dragon parts everywhere.  Among them:

– I used a new keyboard, acquired only yesterday morning (thanks, Jeremiah).

– We were down the street at Starbucks worrying that nobody was at the show, but by the time we fired things up the place was rocking (thanks, you).

– Joel = biggest rock star ever (we’ll let him explain why).

– Danny’s bass made the entire building shake (I kid you not).

– Band already knows what to do with my drink tickets!

– New, extended “Collaborate” = more badonkadonk shaking.

– Lost an extra hour’s sleep.

– Photos, and new photos, soon (and on myspace).
