Seriously? I was just in that area. Granted I didn't have my kit, but I miss jamming.
Yup. He plays in a band up there. Explosive Math Lab or something? Every time we talk he brings it up. We plan on moving there eventually but if you ask him it isn't soon enough

I've told it several times on TD but here goes:
I was working in a wood shop. I was picking up some OT. Went to take a piss and took my gloves off (which I never did). BEFORE I went to piss, the wood planer I was working on had clogged up. I opened the hood because sometimes if you did that the chips would work out and suck through and the machine would clear up. I finished peeing and walked over to turn it off. In doing so I tripped on a power cable and went to brace my fall on the machine...which was open. There was a cutting rotor and a guard. Middle and pointer fingers landed on the guard and pinky and ring landed on rotor. It was quick and painless but I freaked the frick out because I've played guitar since I was 11 or so (I was 23 at the time). Grabbed some romex electrical wire and made a makeshift tourniquet and drove myself to the hospital. There wasn't anything they could do since the remnants of my fingers were basically the consistency of ground beef.
SILVER LINING: If it would have cut about 1/8" lower on those fingers the structure of my hand would have collapsed and I would have a gimp hand. They were able to clean it up enough to where that isn't a problem. AND if I had a gun to my head and had to lose two fingers, those were the two. All things considered, I'm pretty lucky. It makes for a fun conversation piece and it gave me a great excuse to finally buy a drum kit
