We got up at 2:30am on Monday morning to catch the sunrise at Lake Mead (which is about 2 hours
from Las Vegas). We stopped along the way to shoot a couple of scenes for "Coolest Drop of Rain".
I thought this would be a cool image for the song "Holy Road". Photo by Denise Tajiri.

After shooting the desert scenes, we drove 10 minutes to Lake Mead where we
rented a house boat. Captain Sorensen sailed us to distant shores where we filmed
sections of the "Coolest Drop of Rain" video. It was so much fun we barely noticed it was 110 degrees!
