Laurie and I went to see James Blunt's last tour date at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas. It was my second time seeing him and Laurie's fourth. Neither of us had been to the Hard Rock before (though we've been to Vegas countless times). The Joint was perfect for an intimate show (about 2000 fans) and the casino was loads of fun, too.

After the show, we played at the Hard Rock until about 2:30AM and headed back to the Venetian to go to bed. On the way, we ran into James and friends getting out of the Hard Rock SUV at the Venetian. I shook hands with him and said "James, great show tonight."

"Cheers, mate," he said and I was off. I'm sure he remembers our special moment and feels lucky to have had a couple seconds with me.

If you want help from Wii, keep in mind that it is a gaming system first. To get help, you are going to have to work for it. Enter the "help cat." Help is available when you see the cat, but you have to catch him first - and the cat does not want to be caught.

Cabel Sasser's blog has a story about getting his new Nintendo Wii. Near the bottom of the article is his
Help Cat Video. All I can say is "wow."
