My interview with VOIVOD/ex-METALLICA bassist Jason Newsted on Friday went really well.  I am still editing the nearly twenty minutes worth of audio I got from the interview so be looking for it on the website this week.

After I got off the air Friday, Rebecca and I left for Fort Mill, SC, home of Carowinds.  We stayed the night at the Holiday Inn Express directly across the street from the theme park so we could hit the ground running when they opened at 10 a.m.  The crowd wasn’t as bad as I had expected considering it was a Saturday in late June.  It was, however, hotter than I had anticipated as we both hit Boomerang Bay, the water park section before noon and spent a good bit of time there but not before I hit the new ride, the Carolina Cobra which was badass!

After walking around on hot concrete and getting sunburnt despite the fact we were both wearing SPF 50 sunblock, we left shortly after 5 p.m. and drove into Rock Hill, SC, home of my alma mater, Winthrop University for a little scenic drive down memory lane for myself.

After getting home and unpacking, I took it easy for the rest of the weekend being as I was in too much pain to do much of anything!  Thankfully, I am back to 100%!
