Michelle: yeah still have my diagonally opposite style goatee...I'm getting used to it now, or should I say: it's growing on me...
Having said that, I trimmed it last night as the beard part was too long hangin' off my chin there.
Wow, Beatallica back up thanks to Lars...

Delfino, good luck with the job hunting. I hate doing it, it's so demoralising, I hope you get lucky and someone actually looks at your application!
Also, I want to hear "Delta Halo" but at 5.2mb it's a bit big for me to listen to. My connection has been shit lately, but if I get a good one over the weekend or something I'll download the track!
VFR, I just paid for 3 tickets to the Lukather gig next thursday! YES! I can't wait, it's gonna rock! Thanks for the heads-up on this gig....wish you could make it. Maybe next time?! Hope you're cool amigo!
for anyone who missed it......I uploaded Powerhouse the other day. Check it if you get five minutes!

vbil - "that person" may not be the one I'm thinking of...
my "that person" is a he....
Cuth - the latest with DC is:
we've had some great reviews of the new album.. one reviewer gave us 5 stars and stated that this is the best prog release so far this year... said some nice things about me too.... gives me a nice warm feeling...
tour dates.... the tour is being planned to coincide with the next album launch: around Jan 2006
we are scheduled to play late winter / and spring 2006:
Russia, Ukraine, Finland, Germany, Holland, UK and Japan - all of which are an 80% or better
we may be playing at the Royal Festival Hall in London in November - some sort of prog-festival thing.. but that's less certain right now...
work is being done regarding gigs in the US, France and Italy
this is just being planned and looked into so there's no outcome just yet.....
one thing is for sure.... this particular DC line-up is the best yet... by far.... in fact... this line-up is the most talented line-up I've worked with ever.... simply a joy to be a part of...
Fab - been through the documentation stuff you sent me... I'm happy.. the other person had been notified.. all smiles so far... thanx bro..
mikesb - the nice thing about being with C is that I'm making nice contacts at home and abroad... this can only be a good thing for my own band..
SteeveT - mastering a very nice studio Cleveland, Ohio
Zen - Shredz is going nicely..... not long to go now...
johnywoods - LMFAO.....

Now that the Uni students have gone home that leaves quite a lot of bar-staff jobs open in the area of my local (which ironically isn't local as its roughly 2miles away, and doesn't even serve my favourite drink...)
No problem bout' "Delta Halo", I think one of my other friends is getting a better connection this week actually too...can't remember the provider or the speed though lol.
Ta for the luck,
Delfino

Good Morning Satchland...... How are you guys?
I just want to say thanks to all of you for the support for my friend Todd passing. Life throws you curve balls every once and a while and its best we all carry our own bats so we can knock them out of the park. That's exactly what I'm going to do. Life moves on but like Stevee T said a little piece is missing. I for one am very glad I crossed paths with Todd. I loved his strength and repected what he stood for. He was full of life and worked very hard for his success. It's sad to know good people....I mean really good people like Todd have to leave this Earth when people like Sahdam(thank God not anymore) and Bid Laden are free to walk around and cause so much pain and misery fueled by hate. There's so much more to life then greed and hate and it's a shame these people dont get it. Count your blessings and give your spouse and children a big squeeeeez and live HUGE !!!!! Todd you'll be missed....

I did some digging 'cause I was curious to see just what gas killed my friend Todd. I was told it was Methane...but there not sure.... OSHA is investigating. Read on....
Construction accident kills two
printable page
REEDSBURG - Friday's accident at a construction site on Exhibit Circle has resulted in the death of two workers, who were exposed to unknown gases while working in a man hole.
Duane Nobs, 56 of LaValle, died Sunday at UW-Hospital and his co-worker, Todd Labansky, 44 of Reedsburg, died Monday evening, also at the hospital, Sauk County Coroner Betty Hinze reported. Labansky and Nobs worked for B & L Excavating of LaValle.
The incident occurred around 11 a.m. on June 17. Police and rescue workers responded to a report of two unconscious men in a manhole on Exhibit Circle, where a subdivision is being built. Emergency personnel found Nobs and Labansky about 8-10 feet below ground, Assistant Fire Chief Craig Douglas said.
Reedsburg firefighters used breathing gear and harnesses to retrieve the men, he said. The men remained unconscious when an ambulance crew took them to Reedsburg Area Medical Center.
Both were later transferred to University Hospital in Madison, Douglas said.
"(Nobs) died due to exposure to the toxic atmosphere," Betty Hinze, Sauk County coroner said. Labansky's death was also caused by exposure to toxic gas, Hinze added. "They're looking into the actual type of gas it may be."
Hinze said the gas was from the soil or some other natural process, not natural gas from a utility pipeline. It will take several weeks for air and soil samples to be analyzed before the details of what caused their deaths can be determined, Hinze said.
Remembering
Nobs was the village president in LaValle for at least nine years said trustee Linda Champagne. "He didn't take any decision lightly," she said. "This is only my second year on the board, and I learned a lot from him. He was a good leader and he had the best interest of the community at heart all the time," she said. Champagne also recalled Nobs being a good neighbor for all the time they lived near each other. A smile was always on his face even if he wasn't in the best mood, she said.
Several other members of the LaValle village board have memories of Nobs. "He will be remembered as a fireman, a village president, as a businessman," said village clerk David Doering.
Comments from family members of Todd Labansky were not available as of press time.
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is also investigating the accident, said Kim Stille, director of the OSHA office in Madison. The agency always investigates when there is a death in a workplace situation.
A variety of dangerous gases generated by bacterial action in the soil, including hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide, can build up in enclosed spaces, she said.
She said she did not know how soon OSHA staff members would complete the investigation.

Brother Al...happy B-day to you Bro' ! !
962...."Powerhouse" is cool ! By the way, I'm trying to find an Original Floyd Rose without paying out the ass for it but I'm not having much luck. Some fool on E Bay wanted $125.00 for a used one with no tremelo bar...I could'nt believe it. Oh well...one will turn up eventually..
Peace, SD

I second that question maestro!
Delfino+DCK: The iPod may have slighlty better quality, but the earphones do count for some of the bass etc. so if i were to buy one, the Zen would be my choice, think its better value.......
How is everyone anyways??

Keniko, so very sorry about your friend Todd, he sounds like he was such a good person. Hugs.....
DCK, your keyboard died....hmmm, maybe it's catching, mine died in chat the other night, could my board have infected your board? :( I sure hope not!
FOR GOODNESS SAKE, SOMEONE PLEEEEEEZE HELP MICHELLE OUT....she needs that password desperately....I can feel her vibrating from all the way over here in Oregon.... if you'd been in chat with her last night when she found out about the concert, you'd know what I mean...I'm still "chelle-shocked" from the experience...the screaming.....oh my! :l
Chelle, you weren't planning on going to that concert or anything, were ya? hehehehehehe........
BROTHER AL, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Joe, sounds like it was a great party for Mr. Paul, and I'm sure he was thrilled to have you and many others there to celebrate with....I believe you did an interview with him years ago for a guitar magazine...very cool! Oh, and I never get tired of watching the webcast...pretty please, with sugar on top, is there the possibility of a DVD from this tour? I'm hoping you're at least considering it...maybe a fan poll would help? :) Ummm, I vote YES!!
