Hey Chris! Not a problem, anytime ;) Glad to help broaden your bands worldwide hehe.
Oh and thanks a lot. Oh it's cool hehe, I'm the Supervisor for training and development for Security Services at Parliament. So I help in coordinating training, giving training, putting initiatives into place, and much more. I have two people under me and we are a good team so it helps a lot! :)
I know Taron did. He does awesome work for Majority Lost, The Rabble, Strawberry Blondes and so many more great bands. In fact I have a Rabble poster in my room. It's in between my Street Dogs & Unfallen Heroes poster. You can't see it in that picture though.
On the 4th my family and I usually have a BBQ and hang out. If we're
lucky we get to watch idiots launch huge fireworks. Florida is one of
the states in the U.S. where fireworks are legal. Sometimes I wonder if
that is a good thing given the IQ of some of people who live here.
