Head shots. In 2015, they’re a must for many professions. I’m staring down the barrel of scheduling a photo shoot and although I’m not particularly camera shy, I’m definitely camera awkward. Pass the Maker’s Mark.

This gem was taken in Balboa Park in January 2006 (what?!?) by my homeboy, Cary Pennington. The whole glam for the camera thing was a first for me; Mia and I were building Red Letter Days Events so, like, we had to do it. Duty called but there was no way I was going in sober. Thank God for bubbles.

This is my favorite picture of me other than the little gem I use for my eatingatme branding. It’s unlikely that my drumming talent will ever yield a gig with Jack White or even Betty White but I did feel like a rock star that day. Thanks, Cary.

Chat soon.
