    My new metal ballhook swivel!! Thanks Alan!!

    What a great time meeting Alan and Spins!!! Foreigner ruled!! Brian is a freakin' monster drummer and the Speedbag truck ruled! and Mr Alan Kahn presented me with a new swivel and an autographed copy of his book ( I have dubbed it "the Foreigner edition).This isn't video from the show or truck...just me trying out the new swivel and sneaking acouple of new tricks that Alan and Brian showed me, they have all of the pics and vids from yesterday! Everything was WIZARD! BAG ON!!

    Hey looks like it works well. I think you'll find it is easier to control than that plastic ballhook. You did great in the truck. I tried to upload some pics but they were too big. I'll have to resize them when I get back on my home computer.

                  I wish I could fix the forum such that it would take photos of any size and resize them down auto-magically, I'll add that to the TO DO list. It might be a memory constraint on the server. Sorry for it being a pain.

                  That was totally WIZARD !!! great video. I think your ready for a smaller bag.

                  Sounds like you had lots of fun. The speed bag truck is a very unique experience isn't it ?

                    I think .JPG on forum can't be larger then 293kb. Most High pixel cameras take a picture with much larger memory sizes. Most of mine were 2084 x 1600 so I had to resize down t0 800 x 600 to reduce the size enough.

                    Since I'm still in Chicago on my nephews laptop, I downloaded a freeware program to resize some of the photo's to upload in the other thread. Yeah, it's a bit of trouble but I figure my bag brothers gotta know as soon after as possible. I also know Metaldad wanted to see them. He's gonna love my video of Spins Solo. I took it from the 2nd balcony looking down, and you can see MD on stage right behind the scenes.
