Anyhow, it seemed very topical to share this story. As I had mentioned late last year when looking for reviews on "Liquid Drum Theater," DH recently got back into the drums after a long absence. He has been on a quest to find jam partners/band members. Since he always lists Mike Portnoy as one of his influences, sometimes he gets lucky and finds someone else who knows and likes Dream Theater. (Unfortunately, prog fans seem to be rare in this town!) Back in March, he started communicating with someone that he referred to as "even a bigger Dream Theater fan than me." They eventually finally met in person and I got a phone call about five minutes into it...DH is telling me that this person "knows" me from the 'jam way back around '94! (Really me - not confusing me with Jen A./"Airdance"! He lived many states over at the time, but just before moving here, he apparently sent a message to the list, asking if anyone lived here. I don't remember seeing such a message to the list, so I'm thinking it was sent during the period when I took a hiatus after reading waaaay too many posts from that overly religious guy who insisted on lecturing various 'jammers. (I don't even remember his name, thank goodness! At the time, though, I remember being *extremely* annoyed by his self-righteousness.) Okay, I am now done with my rambly and awkwardly written post. ;) Jen {~._.~} The river where you set your foot ( Y ) just now is gone - those waters gave ()~*~() way to this, now this.

Forgot to get a price though. I'm wondering if all (or any) of the stuff MP releases is worth it though... I'd love to see him jam and such but how many times will i even watch this? --Boundary_(ID_4NGVGTGB/wO/XgrCtxtjew) ---YTSEJAM FILTER: Rest of message skipped because of attachment ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 12:47:00 -0700 (PDT) From: Rick Audet To: Multiple recipients of list Message-ID: Um.
