I'm not ready for 8 yet; I'm still transitioning to 7 and I haven't quite broken/unlearned my rigid 6-string indexing muscle memory - I am training myself to fret/locate notes independently of neck dimensions/surfaces and number of strings so that I can more quickly adjust between the variants and reduce effort/increase economy.

    I really like this guy. I started listening to his old band Reflux when they were active, and had a chance to meet him years later when Animals as Leaders played at the House of Blues in Hollywood (mind blowing show by the way). As they were packing their stuff into their carrier sometime after the show had ended, a couple of my friends and I were able to walk up to him and simply introduce ourselves and shake his hand, while showing appreciation for his talent and performance. He was very welcoming, and he even took time to introduce someone he was with.. a female who I never found out her relations with him. Very pretty and exotic female of African descent. Super humble guy, good eye contact, ears were receptive and he really connected with us, even though our time was brief. A very inspiring guy.

Regarding the Washingtonian, yes this is true that people from the state are referred to as such. At the same time growing up in the Washington D.C Metro area, my entire life watching the news you here local residents referred to as Virginians, Marylanders and people from DC referred to as Washingtonians. So I apologize if this caused any confusion, I simply made a reference that has always been used in our area.
