Meet my friend Omid. A super cool dude. Quick story about Omid. I had this rad issue of VICE magazine that I've saved over the years because it has a bunch of Slayer shirts on the cover. Inside, the issue is about collectors of heavy metal (the lifestyle, not the comic) and Omid is in there for having a most excellent and massive collection of Runaways stuff. So this magazine was kept as my bathroom reading material for forever. And one day I randomly met Omid in NYC. I told him we'd been friends for years, he just didn't know it. He thinks I'm nuts. Love it!

Omid took us out for some food one day in Nashville and ordered this mega sandwich that only a true pro 'food eater' (yea, that is a River's Edge quote) could endure. 2 pieces of the most ultra greasy french toast with ham and syrup and butter mashed in between. I got a burger. Along with a side of food poisoning that kept me nose diving the toilet bowl for 2 days straight. So, I missed the rest of the NAMM convention, but it was worth every second just to get a good night of local hangout and greasy southern food. And I was well enough to drive on to Memphis that Sunday... couldn't wait for Graceland!
SOOOO METAL.
