I almost forgot about my time I got to hang out with the Bob Seager band (kind of). It was in Michigan and I was participating in an ice carving festival. For part of the festival there was an amateur ice carving competition in which different people got assigned to a professional ice carver, and a block of ice, and then they had to make an ice carving. I was assigned to two members of the BS band the drummer and keyboard player. They decided they wanted to do a train out of ice, and everything was going pretty well. I did most of the large cuts to get them started, but the funny thing is while I was cutting with my chainsaw I almost cut off the keyboard players finger. I asked him were he wanted me to make the cut, and he pointed to a spot on the ice which was right next to the blade. The saw blade caught his thick leather clove and shredded it. All I can say was it almost scared me to death. Thankfully he had on really thick gloves so there was no damage.
