Raleighwood

I decided to head to Raleigh at the last minute to round out the spring break. Yes I am aware that you should spend spring break where it's warm, but I figured what the hell. Every one I knew was out of town and I didn't feel like sitting on my ass for the last three days of vacation.

I am still reading the book on Slash. It is an awesome book. I am up to the part where they have finally hit the road as an opening act and headliner. Great stories. Not to mention Axl started even back then with not showing up to gigs. Slash speaks of the concert at the RItz in New York which aired on MTV all the time. I remember first getting into this album by watching this concert. He claims he doesn't like the performance but it was GNR and it was kick ass. Watch the clip:

Damn just watching that brings back some great memories. Appetite for Destruction one of the greatest albums of all time. Yes I said of all time. And Axl man what a skinny little bastard.

Yesterday was a trip to Hooters and had lunch with good ol' Rob and Jason. Two great guys from the RDU days. In reality two guys that are to nice to be in radio. Fun biz with lots of perks but you due tend to get shafted way to much. Anyway had a great time with them chatting about days past, school, TV and sports. I even stopped by Smoketree Tower to chat with the E-rock. Hung out with him for a few but I try to make it quick as there are to many people in the building I don't really want to see. Then last night me and my friend Sharen headed out and had some drinks and tied one on. Always fun throwing back a few with her.

I think today will be lunch with Blade. I can't wait to see his new mo-hawk. I'll tell you people that shave their heads get mo-hawks whatever are ballsier than me. I hate even see people get their head shaved it freaks me out. Always has even when I didn't have long hair. Always fun seeing him and catching up. I'm looking forward to hearing how it's going at 96 Rock.

Later hope to see the one and only Teke. Yes that is his real name. I always laughed when people thought that was his radio name. Nope not the case.

Of course tonight the last round of drinking for a while. I have to lay off the beer drinking during the week. I would like to see how long I could actually go with out beer. The longest so far was 17 days. We shall see.
