So I spent this past weekend at the Morongo Casino near Palm Springs with Tod for an INXS show. The weekend started off Friday night when we arrived at the casino. Made it just in time for a few drinks with the band and to do some gambling.. ofcourse I lost! Saturday I enjoyed a morning at the nearby outlet mall, while Tod worked, hehe. And spent the rest of the afternoon laying out by the pool, while Tod worked, hehe. Don't worry Tod, I thought about you the entire time! lol Saturday evening was the INXS show and I was granted an all night photo pass, which was great! Got to run around the venue and shoot like crazy! The guys put on a great show as usual and it was great seeing them again! After the show I had a little surprise planned for Tod for his birthday, which is next week when he's in Australia.. since I won't be able to celebrate with him. Our friend Bobby with Chop Shop Drums made two custom drum stick bags for Jon which came out great.. and he came to the show to present Jon with one of the bags. Well, little did Tod know that I had Bobby make HIM a custom bag for his birthday as well! So at the end of the night we got to surprise Jon and Tod with custom Chop Shop Drums stick bags.. and they loved them! And for an added touch, I personalized a drum key for Tod as well with his name engraved on it! The gifts were a hit! Happy Birthday Tod! After the show Tod had to take off with the crew up to the next show.. so I met up with my friends from Chop Shop and had some drinks and did some gambling... and ofcourse, I lost, lol. Then Sunday it was back home to LA! All in all, had a nice time in Palm Springs and i'd definitely go back to Morongo! So Monday Tod got to spend one last day at home before he took for Australia... again! Last night it was back to the airport for his flight.. and we just happened to run into the band checking in, just as I was saying goodbye to Tod. So I got about 7 extra hugs before I left which was quite nice! Those guys rock! Here's a picture of Tod and Jon with Bobby and Brian of Chop Shop Drums - showing off their new custom made drum stick bags!
