Orange Peel

This weekend my wife and I went to Orange Peel - a show put on by our alma mater .

It included performances by local band, The Hero Factor as well as comedy by Bill Engvall (the reason for our presence) and Alan Jackson as the main attraction (we are told that he is a very well known country singer). In my opinion, this is an improvement in the level of entertainment from recent years (which I haven't attended primarily due to scheduling concerns).

Bill Envall's set was one of the funniest I have ever heard and all of the material was new to my ears. In it he mentions acting like a fool when meeting George Strait. I found myself greatly relieved after my experiences meeting ColdFusion gurus (I think I heard myself tell Ben Forta that he was a celebrity). I always think I will act dignifies upon meeting people I respect, but invariably something stupid escapes my lips.

Although we hadn't heard of The Hero Factor before the show, we liked their music enough that we bought a CD for ourselves and one to send to my wife's brother in Iraq (a member of the band was nice enough to sign his copy).

I was amused, however, when I looked at the Hero Factor web site. Take a look. The whole page is one image! Now that is how to make sure the site matches the design. Why hadn't I ever though of that?

In other news - Mailer.cfc just got a small update.
