Nephew loses battle, but gains the cred of legend

My nephew Simon came up from Houston for this Lakeway teen battle of the bands (fresh from winning a battle of the bands at the Village Fair in League City.) His band is called BB Aeroplane.

I was IM'ing him, asking him about how they did at the Lakeway gig ...


Simon: we played way better than all the other bands except for this one jazz band, who i think should have at least taken first or second but they got 3rd.
then this stupid emo band who did nothing but scream and make random noise got 2nd, and this ok rock band, whose parents were part of the judge panel, got first

Simon: but it was cool because chris layton walked out on the judges when they refused to give us a better place

Christian: chris layton of double trouble?

Simon: yep

Simon: heh

Simon: we got to hang out with him for a bit

Simon: he told us we were doing really well but that we should pursue things more in our own direction

Simon: he's a really nice guy though.


That's Chris Layton of Double Trouble, as in Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble. That's kinda cool.
