I did the dinner....It was moved to Sunday and started at 3:45 (with Jeff showing up after soundcheck). Maybe 20 people total in the pizza place.

The owners were great and chatted with me for a while and talked about Jeff and what a great down-to-earth person he is. The Senator came in and talked with each table for a bit and took some pictures.

When Jeff showed up, he and the Senator shared some stories, made some pizzas...

Jeff then talked and took pictures with everybody. Really great time....much more laid back than the full meet and greet.

Jeff talked about the new album....said 8 songs are done. Need about 10 days to finish up the album (plus needed about 2 months once it was finished for artwork and everything else that needs to go into it). Sounds like Ed's injury and delayed tour set things back a bit. He also mentioned that's why he got RNDM going, something to do in the band's down time

I think it was more of the 10 days of studio time + 2 months to work out the artwork, etc. So really 2.5 months of time

If Jeff does stuff like RNDM in his downtime, I wholeheartedly approve. Walking Papers is awesome, as well. And a new PJ album on the way, too... sounds like a 3 for 1 bonus to me!
