Well Camp Jam is over and I did enjoy my 2 weeks as a teacher for all the young teenaged rockers. I was very impressed with the level of talent and dedication among the little rockers.

The Chop Shop is still growing. We are on 30 affiliates now between the 2 shows (there is a regular version and a classic rock version). That is a very strong start for a show that has only been around for 2 years.

Fantasy Football is getting closer. I’ll start cultivating my depth charts later this week. I’m in 2 leagues, the mafia league which is based out of the Emerald Theatre in Mt. Clemens and my own friends and co-workers league as well. The live draft is my favorite part of the entire FF season so I’m looking forward to the next few weeks.

My brother Dave (who lives in Phoenix) will be here to visit me later this week. We have not spent much time together over the last 16 years and we’re looking forward to visiting lots of old friends.

I’m also taking Dave to a Tiger’s game; you’ve got to love the Tigers, the hottest team in the land!

I’m also hoping to get enough free time to catch a couple of movies. I have not had a chance to catch “Clerks II” or “The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” and I’d like to do that in the next 2 weeks.

There are some cool concerts on the horizon; Alice Cooper and Twisted Sister are at the State Fair this month and September has the Family Values Tour, Godsmack, Zombie, Shinedown, Buckethead, Tool, The Who, Roger Waters, MSG and more.

I’ll see you out there on the streets.
