Thanks. :)

I know I should use this thing more, but I fall into ruts where I want nothing to do with posting to LJ.

dewittar posted a clip of Little Big Town singing this Lady Gaga song. It totally rocked!! What an amazing take and such harmonies! I'm so glad you got to go and that you had such a great time!

I posted this morning about the storms and the pressure at work. I'm happier reading about Jeff and your adventures:)

HUGS!

I took cellphone video of a few highlights that actually turned out good. I need to convert and post some stuff. My Flickr Pro account ran out and I really don't know if I want to renew, if I don't, however, a lot of my photos are locked away. We'll see.

I'm still around, but not tooting my own horn much.

Being a pharmacology geek, I have to admit to curiousity as to what meds you were prescribed for your nerve troubles, but I realize that's an EXTREMELY personal issue. I just had to admit to the curiousity. ;)

I can certainly understand your worry about the huscub... cubsband... furry dude who had the heart attack. Overwork unfortunately seems to be chronic in his profession.

I'm not familiar with any of the acts, but I'm glad you had a good time at the concert!

Gabapentin.

Too bad overworking is not chronic in the rest of the staff, this would not be an issue whatsoever!

Sugarland and Little Big Town are "new country" acts that have a more pop-rock basis to their songs than traditional country music. Country is not my first choice in favorite music genres mainly because of so much of it being infused with Jeebus or tired redneck cliches these days, not to mention exasperation with the general C&W fanbase and their silly conservative, brick-headed nature. That being said, there is a lot of good country music out there, new and old. I just don't like listening to typical country radio to find it.

Matt Nathanson is more indie folk rock leaning toward Toad the Wet Sprocket IMO. Never heard of him until that night, I found a SXSW performance today that is pretty good.

That's pretty much what I expected. Gabapentin doesn't help heal the nerves - and the one thing that I've heard can (Hydergine) suffers from a "Not Invented Here" type of reaction from US neurologists. It was invented in Europe by Sandoz (which was merged into Novartis), and the vast majority of the research on it has been done in Europe, where the standard daily dose is 3x the one used here [9mg/day vs. 3mg/day]. Some (including me) think this is pretty much all the explanation one needs for the dismal results in the few US based trials that have been done.
