Jet Age video on youtube

Right here, featuring yours truly on drums!

This was filmed by Eric's brother Adam using an HD camera and a steady-cam, and the performance took place a few hours after the insane drive mentioned in my previous post. Note to self: eat a substantial breakfast before you do this again.

I hope to add another video or two as soon as I get some actual job-related work done tonight. Heh.

What a blast that was.
