Well, had a lovely time at the Pirate afternoon! Enjoyed the Pirate magician, aimed at kid level, but also very good! Then a kind of treasure hunt at the museum with activites to find answers to clues! Took 2 hours, but did it! Reegan said what good partners we were. But after that his mum came round with baby Arnya who screamed for 5 hours!!!!
Today I'm having a much-needed wind-down on my own in peace and quiet!
Claudia - I so loved your description of how hearing Daughtry music makes you feel again.
Can relate to what you say so much though!
I heard 'Over You' on the radio just as I came here today! But loving hearing 'Feels Like Tonight' most of all right now!
Anja - hope you're all well again now! But still able to find time to listen to great music.
Missing Kaz and DO!!!!
Max - hi!

Good to have you back Anja - and sounds like you had a fabulous week - then back to work!!!!!
Colds make you feel rotton - and in the middle of summer too! Best way is to stay home and get better quicker - and you can't think propoerly and give your best at work when you feel bad, and can pass it on to everyone else too!
Max - the temps I'm getting lately sounds a bit like your's - but not as high at 20!!!!!
Freezing cold and snow on the hills all round and heaps of hail-stones fell on Sturday. Sports games cancelled mid-game everywhere! Temp in lower single figures all day!
Then Sunday sunny and clear, and felt warm in the sun, but still only about 9.
Still sunny and warm in the sun, but likely to be freezing again tonight.
Down to zero or lower at nights. Have a fire burning to sit round.
Read that this region was the flu capital of the country, and someone said they heard on the radio that it was of the world for a time recently!!!! But had my turn and think most people have by now. So hope that's it for the year!

I called in sick today as the cold did not go away yet and I can't pass on the cold to anybody at work.
We start with our high season in about 3 weeks time and I need everybody fit including myself.
Hope ya all had a wonderful weekend. Have a fab start into this week.

I know it's been more than a week I was on here.
Got home from Holland where my sisters family, David and I had a blast. Gosh it was sooo wonderful to have Zoé around all day and of course we enjoyed fab weather, wild water slides and lots of fun stuff. Soccer and golf was how we spend our eves. We took the Nintendo Wii with us and played Golf or watched the European Soccer Championship on TV. What a great spectacle, eh?
Even though Spain won and is the European Soccer Champion I think the whole 4 weeks were lots of fun, filled with positive patriotism and great BBQs
Back at work the stress already cought me in the act. We moved offices - argghhh As you might imagine it's nothing you should be doing after a week full of joy. We got everything working and we settled in. The team is working but I don't feel too good there yet. Too much negative energy from the others in the room. Well I hope it's only a for a few more weeks and the weird attitude is all about getting used to each other.
After David had it, I'm "blessed" with a cold now. It's 30°C and we hang in here shivering. Arggghhh. But I got the weekend to get all recovered - like always, no missing at work
Claudia & Kiwi, cool that ya guys make each other laugh.
Max, don't be impatient, have faith, Daughtry will come your ways.
Have a fab weekend all together.
Cherrios, Anja

Well Max - would hope that in the next 10 years Daughry would get to Argentina!!!!
Thanks for the article here.
Really good reading!
Claudia - yes, get lots of laughs here - all with each other. Some days come along feeling down, but always soon find something to smile about! And go away feeling better!
And no warm July sun here - it's the middle of winter, but must admit, have had some nice sunny days - but the sun isn't very hot at this time of year. Dull and wet today though.
Max - you will be similar to me here I think - sounds like it from Gisela - and in winter time!

Joey Barnes doesn't live his life like most rock stars. The drummer for Daughtry still spends a great deal of his down time in the 'Boro. He travels sans entourage, his face bare of identity-shielding shades indoors. He drives a Honda, not a tricked-out Hummer. It seems a smash hit album, tour and even a couple Grammy nominations haven't changed this Greensboro native much.
"My bank account's bigger," Barnes says of his newfound fame. "And that just allows me to do what I want to do. I'll always be the same dude. I've always been weird and eccentric and eclectic and all the other 'e' words. I know who I am and what I can do and what I can't do and what I want to do. I've always known that."
What he's always wanted to do is play music. Growing up in a family of musicians, Barnes was introduced to music at a young age.
"My dad is a musician, and my mother is, as well. That's how they met," Barnes says. "My uncles are musicians. Just everybody was playing music. My dad made me a drum set before I was born. They'd take pictures of me playing on it. But they never forced me to play on it or anything like that. It was just a thing I watched them do and then decided I wanted to do, too."
Music may have been in Barnes' blood, but his first attempts at playing were anything but successful.
"I remember hitting myself in the face with the drumsticks because they were bigger than my arms," Barnes says. "And I'd cry, and my dad would have to come up, and I did it so often that he knew what happened because I had marks all over my face."
Barnes finally mastered the instrument and played his first gig, a wedding, at age 10. During his high school years at Vandalia Christian School, he formed bands with friends, experimenting with singing and even playing bass.
"I started wanting to sing behind the drums," Barnes says.
"And it was easier because I was kind of hidden back there, so I was free to learn and get better and if I hit bum notes, I could hide behind the symbols or something like that and just point at him (the lead singer)."
Barnes played in several bands through the years, including the Suicide Darlings, the Patrick Rock Band and a cover band called Seven and the Deadlies, which covered songs by female artists, with the members dressed in drag. With those bands, he graced the stages of many clubs in the area, including the Blind Tiger and Greene Street Club. But he says the first club he played, the Rhino, remains his favorite.
Barnes played the local club circuit for nearly 10 years, but he didn't get his big break until several years ago, when he met a relatively unknown local singer, Chris Daughtry, at a battle of the bands where they were both competing.
"I guess my talent just kind of blew him away. I guess he was just taken aback. He was breathless, like Faith Hill," Barnes jokes. "So I guess we had kind of a mutual respect for each other, and that's the first time we met and talked, and I remember seeing him at the theater, and I came up to him and I was like, 'I'm your drummer, because you need one.'"
A few months later, Daughtry became a household name after his 2006 appearance on "American Idol," and when an opening for a drummer came up in his band, he remembered Barnes, who he'd kept in touch with since the competition.
The band's debut album, "Daughtry," (RCA, 2006) went four-times platinum, spent weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard charts and garnered four Grammy nominations.
"That's a cool thing (Grammy nomination), that's awesome and it's scary because at the same time, it's a first album," Barnes says. "It's scary because the people are very finicky, and one minute they'll be behind you, and then the next minute, they're on to something else. It's like ADD. The country's got a massive ADD problem. And there's so many shows and new stars, and there's always someone who can take your place. It's a dangerous business because if that's (fame) what you're in it for, you're gonna get let down."
The band went on tour, first hitting clubs and theaters with lesser-known bands, then arenas and amphitheaters with Nickelback and most recently, Bon Jovi. And while Barnes enjoyed seeing new places and playing in front of thousands of fans, the grueling schedule began to take a toll on him.
"Last year was absolutely horrifying because we played about 300 shows in that year," Barnes says.
"You're on a bus, on a plane, on a bus, on a plane, like, 'Where am I? I have no idea.' We go overseas; we come back; we go back overseas. I mean, it was absolutely nuts."
Last month, Barnes headed back to Los Angeles to begin recording Daughtry's second album.
"That's the most fun we're going to probably have for the next two years," Barnes says. "The recording the record is going to be the vacation. It's after that, when we tour the record for about a thousand years, like we did the last one, I'm not looking forward to that quite yet. It's a whole
different mindset."
When Daughtry's previous tour ended in April, Barnes returned to the Triad for a few months to relax, catch up with friends and even play a few gigs for fun with old buddies, including local musician Patrick Rock. And according to his friends, being a regular dude is something that comes naturally for Barnes.
"I don't think he's changed at all," says Patrick Rock. "Really, he's still humble. He's a good cat.
The only changes are he travels a lot more. And he's well-deserving of everything he gets. He's just super-talented all across the board."

Well, Max - guess I am lucky in that I only work a few hours a week - at weekends mostly.
And the good thing about having a job is that it's helping me to save to get overseas to see Daughtry and meet up with other people from here one day!
Can't wait for that to happen!

Daughtry's #1 Fan from Suriname!!
I'm proud of Daughtry!! This is their time!! ~2007-2008~
Lots of <3 for my boys, Daughtry!!
KAz: We have some typical dances, the "carnavalito" is one of them, it's typical from the north of Argentina and from Bolivia too, I think so. It comes from the aboriginal tribes.
Of course Argentina is known around the world because of the tango.
Don't know if it help you because they are typical argentinian dances.
DO: gald to see you here, let's talk soon!
Kiwi: congrats again!

After David had it, I'm "blessed" with a cold now. It's 30°C and we hang in here shivering. Arggghhh. But I got the weekend to get all recovered - like always, no missing at work
Claudia & Kiwi, cool that ya guys make each other laugh.
Max, don't be impatient, have faith, Daughtry will come your ways.
Have a fab weekend all together.
Cherrios, Anja

MAYBE, BUT I PREFER THAT BE 1 MINUTE, DON'T 10 YEARS!!
I MUST BUT I CAN'T WAIT LESS!!!
Well Max - would hope that in the next 10 years Daughry would get to Argentina!!!!
Thanks for the article here.
Really good reading!
Claudia - yes, get lots of laughs here - all with each other. Some days come along feeling down, but always soon find something to smile about! And go away feeling better!
And no warm July sun here - it's the middle of winter, but must admit, have had some nice sunny days - but the sun isn't very hot at this time of year. Dull and wet today though.
Max - you will be similar to me here I think - sounds like it from Gisela - and in winter time!

Joey Barnes doesn't live his life like most rock stars. The drummer for Daughtry still spends a great deal of his down time in the 'Boro. He travels sans entourage, his face bare of identity-shielding shades indoors. He drives a Honda, not a tricked-out Hummer. It seems a smash hit album, tour and even a couple Grammy nominations haven't changed this Greensboro native much.
"My bank account's bigger," Barnes says of his newfound fame. "And that just allows me to do what I want to do. I'll always be the same dude. I've always been weird and eccentric and eclectic and all the other 'e' words. I know who I am and what I can do and what I can't do and what I want to do. I've always known that."
What he's always wanted to do is play music. Growing up in a family of musicians, Barnes was introduced to music at a young age.
"My dad is a musician, and my mother is, as well. That's how they met," Barnes says. "My uncles are musicians. Just everybody was playing music. My dad made me a drum set before I was born. They'd take pictures of me playing on it. But they never forced me to play on it or anything like that. It was just a thing I watched them do and then decided I wanted to do, too."
Music may have been in Barnes' blood, but his first attempts at playing were anything but successful.
"I remember hitting myself in the face with the drumsticks because they were bigger than my arms," Barnes says. "And I'd cry, and my dad would have to come up, and I did it so often that he knew what happened because I had marks all over my face."
Barnes finally mastered the instrument and played his first gig, a wedding, at age 10. During his high school years at Vandalia Christian School, he formed bands with friends, experimenting with singing and even playing bass.
"I started wanting to sing behind the drums," Barnes says.
"And it was easier because I was kind of hidden back there, so I was free to learn and get better and if I hit bum notes, I could hide behind the symbols or something like that and just point at him (the lead singer)."
Barnes played in several bands through the years, including the Suicide Darlings, the Patrick Rock Band and a cover band called Seven and the Deadlies, which covered songs by female artists, with the members dressed in drag. With those bands, he graced the stages of many clubs in the area, including the Blind Tiger and Greene Street Club. But he says the first club he played, the Rhino, remains his favorite.
Barnes played the local club circuit for nearly 10 years, but he didn't get his big break until several years ago, when he met a relatively unknown local singer, Chris Daughtry, at a battle of the bands where they were both competing.
"I guess my talent just kind of blew him away. I guess he was just taken aback. He was breathless, like Faith Hill," Barnes jokes. "So I guess we had kind of a mutual respect for each other, and that's the first time we met and talked, and I remember seeing him at the theater, and I came up to him and I was like, 'I'm your drummer, because you need one.'"
A few months later, Daughtry became a household name after his 2006 appearance on "American Idol," and when an opening for a drummer came up in his band, he remembered Barnes, who he'd kept in touch with since the competition.
The band's debut album, "Daughtry," (RCA, 2006) went four-times platinum, spent weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard charts and garnered four Grammy nominations.
"That's a cool thing (Grammy nomination), that's awesome and it's scary because at the same time, it's a first album," Barnes says. "It's scary because the people are very finicky, and one minute they'll be behind you, and then the next minute, they're on to something else. It's like ADD. The country's got a massive ADD problem. And there's so many shows and new stars, and there's always someone who can take your place. It's a dangerous business because if that's (fame) what you're in it for, you're gonna get let down."
The band went on tour, first hitting clubs and theaters with lesser-known bands, then arenas and amphitheaters with Nickelback and most recently, Bon Jovi. And while Barnes enjoyed seeing new places and playing in front of thousands of fans, the grueling schedule began to take a toll on him.
"Last year was absolutely horrifying because we played about 300 shows in that year," Barnes says.
"You're on a bus, on a plane, on a bus, on a plane, like, 'Where am I? I have no idea.' We go overseas; we come back; we go back overseas. I mean, it was absolutely nuts."
Last month, Barnes headed back to Los Angeles to begin recording Daughtry's second album.
"That's the most fun we're going to probably have for the next two years," Barnes says. "The recording the record is going to be the vacation. It's after that, when we tour the record for about a thousand years, like we did the last one, I'm not looking forward to that quite yet. It's a whole
different mindset."
When Daughtry's previous tour ended in April, Barnes returned to the Triad for a few months to relax, catch up with friends and even play a few gigs for fun with old buddies, including local musician Patrick Rock. And according to his friends, being a regular dude is something that comes naturally for Barnes.
"I don't think he's changed at all," says Patrick Rock. "Really, he's still humble. He's a good cat.
The only changes are he travels a lot more. And he's well-deserving of everything he gets. He's just super-talented all across the board."

KAz: We have some typical dances, the "carnavalito" is one of them, it's typical from the north of Argentina and from Bolivia too, I think so. It comes from the aboriginal tribes.
Of course Argentina is known around the world because of the tango.
Don't know if it help you because they are typical argentinian dances.
DO: gald to see you here, let's talk soon!
Kiwi: congrats again!
Max: talk soon, here or on the south america chat!
Bye International fans!
