Pat Green!!!!!

I am so excited - I LOVE TEXAS Country - and there are just a handful of Country Artist's who define Texas Country - Pat Green is one of them!! If you look to my playlist on the left you will see some of his songs - Last Night he played in Jay's Hanger!!! I got to see him, meet him and most important Listen to him live !!! He was SUPER NICE and patient - he is an Air Force Brat too!!! His dad was a Fighter Pilot in Vietnam - Too Cool and he played the entire set - barefoot -
PAT GREEN ROCKS!!!! Here are some pics!!

Sometimes it is hard to see what a font really looks like because they are so small ...did you know that In Photoshop preferences, the last option on the pull-down menu, called Type, will allow you to adjust the preview size between small ...and huge??

Edited to add that this may only be in the last couple of versions...in CS3 it goes to huge and I think in CS2 to Large

Nerd Score!!!

Soooo For the SSD Blog Challenge I had to post how much of a nerd I am - I am so pleased to tell you that I am way more of a dork than a nerd!!!!! HA
