I met my wife at a DMB show and the majority of my closest circle of friends are all people that I've met at DMB shows.

Amazing music, amazing musicians (especially Carter Beauford on the drums) and just a great time overall.

I look forward to the first DMB Blu-ray.

Please don't tell my wife, but I have very good memories of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center and the Skidmore College (used to be a girls only college) when I was a student in Upstate New York.
