The last time the Braves played in a World Series,

The last time the Braves played in a World Series, it was 1999. I was 11 years old, deep in my baseball-nerd phase, a massive fan of those incredible ‘90s Braves rosters. All these years later, I’m beyond excited to see them on the big stage again. Pictured here is my ’95 World Series ball signed by Javy Lopez; NOT pictured here is my John Rocker autograph from a pitching clinic I went to as a kid 🤦‍♂️😂

Happy 6-year anniversary to my beautiful, extremely hard-working, intelligent, and inspiring partner, Ryndell! Things may be really tough right now, but you’re doing an amazing job. I love you so much and can’t wait to see what’s in store for us over the next (6+many) years 😍

Out now- I played electric guitars on the latest single from @moonshine_bandits and @burncountymusic, “American Summer”! Thanks to producer @bradcoxmusic for bringing me on board with them.

Heading into birthday #33 this week, I realized th

Heading into birthday #33 this week, I realized that date will be 20 years since I started playing guitar. Before my 13th birthday, I’d play around with an electronic toy guitar (on which, I swear, you could press a button and it would play the “Ride The Lightning” verse riff) and write really rudimentary open string riffs on my brother’s old acoustic. OK, I know you’re thinking it, so here it is: I still write really rudimentary open string riffs, just on nicer guitars.
Anyway, that birthday was the day I got a Peavey Raptor + Rage 158 starter kit and had my first guitar lesson. That day, and the life I’ve built since then, would not have happened without my parents, and I basically won the lottery by having such loving, supportive, and encouraging parents. There’s a million things I could say here, but instead of writing a novel about what music meant (and still means) to me and what starting to play guitar did for my life, I’ll just say THANK YOU to all of you along the way who joined me in this journey: whether you told me to keep practicing when I was butchering your favorite song at a swim meet, bought a homemade demo CD-R in math class, took the time to jam with me at school even though you were clearly miles ahead of me at the time, came to see me play in a warehouse with a bucket under the men’s bathroom urinal (instead of, you know, plumbing), offered me spots in your bands, hired me for jobs, enabled me to work with legendary artists and producers I admired, booked me on stages I had dreamed of playing, and cheered me on as I worked towards my goals: I remember, and I’m deeply grateful for all of it.
Enjoy this rare shot of 8th grade Pat in full-on metal-mouth mode, seen here desperately trying to summon that Peavey Raptor single coil bridge pickup into giving me the most massive, continent-shifting, knocking-planets-out-of-their-orbit guitar tone imaginable.

Without divulging specifics, I just want to say that this special girl has been a true rockstar the past 4 months working around-the-clock (100% literally) to take a family member’s healthcare into her own hands. It’s been physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting, but there is NO greater display of love and dedication than what she’s done. We’re encouraged by the progress we’ve seen, motivated by the joyous moments that have ensued, and heavily discouraged by some aspects of this healthcare system. The fact that she’s been able to do all of this without any formal medical training is a true testament to her incredible work ethic and intelligence. I’m totally bragging on her here, but I’m also putting this out there to point out that it IS possible to take matters into your own hands when faced with some people telling you otherwise. There have been a couple of times when R-squared and I have been able to run out since this started, and I thought posting this picture would be a good opportunity for me to digitally shout how FREAKING PROUD I am of her for absolutely crushing this highly difficult hand her family’s been dealt. Oh, and after this picture was taken, she gave our puppy a haircut, too. *mic drop

Getting ready to swap out some pickups! Some of these are ones I’ve been meaning to try out for years, so I’m pretty curious to see what stays and what goes. I’ll share the ones I’m digging on here.

Proud dog-dad moment here: our pup Reggie is featured in the new Serta Mattress campaign! He did such a great job at the shoot; Ryndell and I both loved working with him on a safe set with an amazing crew. In case you’re wondering, snuggling on a bed with a model was a role he was born for. #SertaComfortable #regram from @Serta // @reggieroodood

RIP EVH. Truly grateful to Eddie for his incredible songs, absolutely explosive playing, and musicality that he brought to the masses. The apparent ease in which he could switch between the immediacy of his fiercest playing to his most delicate flourishes is both deeply inspiring and humbling...but a ton of his hard work and dedication is what made it sound easy.
I still remember the electricity I felt the first time I listened to V.H.1 on my discman during vacation with my family in South Beach. I still get that feeling today. ❤️ #evh #eddievanhalen
