    So, apparently there's 10 seconds of me performing with this latin pop rock group called Carreyo in the beginning of the video while Steve Vai is giving his key note speech. One of me playing a chorus in the last song, and one of me starting a solo, no audio of my playing, but at least you get to check out me rocking out on stage.

    FYI Me=Fat dude in all black with a white Fender Stratocaster and long hair.

    And just so you all know, I did in fact meet Steve Vai.

    I was at the food services table downstairs in the green room of The Wiltern theater, which by the way is one of the most amazing venues I've played. And I was just making myself a nutella sandwich for breakfast, when down the stairs walks Steve Vai, and all I can do is freak out, and go "oh wow, uhh.." and he just walks over to the table and starts looking at it.

    I say, very nervously, "hi, my name is Cy." And then after he shakes my hand I walk away because I don't know what else to do or say lol.

    We get up to play and when we get back down, Steve goes, "you guys rocked it! Sounded great!" Nearly fainted when he said that lol.

    Awesome stuff. You remind me of Jack Black in that one movie where he played a rock star :) ... and grats on meeting Steve!
