I'm really tired so I'm going to write a proper entry tomorrow morning. I just wanted to do a quick update of a really cool thing that happened a few hours ago.
Last night, Merrit (keyboard tech) and I went out with Ian (Foo Fighters monitor engineer) and we proceeded to get ridiculously wrecked. He's a Scotsman so he drank us under the table.
Anyway, about 4 hours ago, I took the band to see the Foo's. It was about a 1500 person hall. Those Japanese kids were going crazy! What a treat to see a band like that in a small place. In a couple of months, they will be playing two sold out shows at Wembley Stadium in the round. 88,000 people a night.
We got there about an hour before the show and hung out and had some drinks with them. Then we went up to a private balcony and watched the show. About 40 mins. into the show, we see Huey on stage left. The Foos tour manager had a harmonica and Huey went out and played with the Foo Fighters!!!!!! Unbelievable!!! Totally unplanned.
The other crew guys and I had to take the bullet train to Nagoya before the Foos even ended but the band stayed and even went to dinner with the Foos. Dave Grohl and Huey got along famously. Both guys are really super people and I think I've made a match of them!
It's about 12:30am Thursday morning and we've got a show tomorrow. I'm completely exhausted so I'll post the video of Huey and the Foos tomorrow. Killer stuff!!!
Until then.....
