Hooray on the "learn to play guitar" goal! It's very do-able dude! Peter Buck learned when he was 22!
I want to go to Vegas too. But I need lotsa money to do that...and I don't have nearly enough right now :(
Thanks for playing along! I loved your song list...especially Johnny B. Goode. Can't believe Stevie Nicks is so short! And, if anyone is going to make it to the hot seat with Meredith V., it's you! Great answers!
Maybe one day me, you, and cook could meet up in Vegas.
Damien: Who knows, maybe I'll learn to play mandolin like Peter too.
Mistress of the D: It sucks that traveling has to cost so much.
Holly: It took me awhile, but I finally got it done. It helped that I was in the midst of a dry spell post-wise.
Pjazzy: That would be fun for the 3 of us to do that someday.
