Me? I had dinner with a rock star.

Derek St. Holmes, lead singer/songwriter and guitarist with Ted Nugent's 
band, is playing a solo acoustic show for me at the theatre tomorrow 
night.  He came into town this afternoon, and I took him to dinner tonight.

I'm kicking myself, though, because the lighting sconce on the wall next 
to him was throwing awesome side-lighting on his face that would have 
made for a spectacular portrait, but I had told my brain ahead of time 
that we were just two guys out to dinner, talking shop, and I wasn't 
going to do the photo thing.

I should have explained that the photo part of my brain saw a terrific 
shot and would he mind if I took it, but sadly, the "adult" part of my 
brain won the argument.

I will, however, take plenty of photos tomorrow evening, so you're 
forewarned.

I realize that his boss is, shall we say, a bit more of a loose cannon 
these days than in the past, but Derek himself is a wonderful guy.

As a longtime fan of Nugent's music, especially the stuff Derek wrote 
and sang on, it was another one of those "pinch me" moments.
