Vai-athlon

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Vai) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:06:00 +0000

Yesterday, July 14, 2008, I ran a triathlon. It was not a
professionally scheduled one but had the same miles as what is
commonly known as a 70.3.

1.2 mile swim
56 mile bike
13.1 mile run

Ouch!!!

I would not consider myself to be in exceptional athletic condition
but I got through it. It took 4 months of training to prepare. I go
at a very slow pace. It took almost 10 hours to complete.
The feeling of acomplishment is indescribable. Organic euphoria?

I highly recommend it. Most people could do it if they went about it
with logic, practicality and fierce determination.

They're sacrifices to make, (such as completing editing on a live
DVD), but its good to live life outside of the studio now and then,
and get some physical mojo goin on.

Did I say Ouch?

Tom Waits concert

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Vai) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 01:25:00 +0000

Hmmm, must have missed my foot. Fire and I flew from L.A. To Phoenix to see Tom Waits perform. He is not coming to LA on this tour. There is no other artist I would even drive more than an hour to see, but for Tom... The moon isn't even too far.

For myself and many others Tom's shows are special and this one was exceptionally engaging.

This shot was taken before the show started and I was thinking about all the people that put themselves through great inconviniences to come to one of my shows. So sorry about that, and thanks. I have to say though, it was no inconvinience for me to spend a few days and take a flight to see Tom. Fire and I were very excited the whole time.

It's nice when it works that way.

Peace

Japan

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Vai) — Sat, 24 May 2008 22:57:00 +0000

I was just in Japan to participate in Hoshino's 100th year anniversary.
Julian and I walked around Nagoya for about 15 miles or so. He snapped over
1500 photos on his new Nikon D60 in 2.5 days. Perhaps I can post some if I
can get his photo approval but for now here's a shot of him and I in the
lobby of the hotel.

Love Blood

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Vai) — Fri, 09 May 2008 21:45:00 +0000

Today, Julian, Fire, Pia and myself went to donate blood at the
redcross. I ended up not being able to donate because I had been in
India last month bla bla bla.
They need your love blood.

Every morning Julian, (my 19 year old son) and I get up early and
either run, swim, bike, or lift weights. Here we are on a bike ride
when we took a break to check out the amazing row of roses that are in
bloom along Reseda blvd. We are training for a triathlon at the end of
May. Ouch!
