ALOHA ONE AND ALL!

SLANSHROOM I've never had the opportunity to see ALI-G man. Again, some great stuff! Me wife and I had a good laugh. Thanks bro.

WATERPROOF SOAP Hey bruddah you and I have alot more in common than I thought after reviewing the posts. Again, I slept all day after the gig last night. Didnt finish until about 5am after tear down and all. Man, I cant tell you half of what happened on the 4th. Music wise, it was great. My lawn will now take 1 year to get back to normal after all the people stomping on it. We got stuck on Machine Gun when two other guitarists plugged in and it ran about a half hour. Other than that all went nicely until the cops came at 2am to make sure we terminated, which we did. Great time bro. The SITs held up nicely as well. For the most part I play an Am Fender Jazz and shift to my Tobias Growler for the mellow cuts. Thinking of a Bossa when I get in the mood. I'll have to check out the others via catalog as we dont get squat in Hawaii. It has to be special ordered and thats a drag.

WS, SLANSH,CHEESE 101, CUTHBERT, AND ZENFISH Not that my opinion matters, but all of your points are well taken and certainly have merit on this site. I can, and have been a real butthead on this site in the past when somebody attacked my viewpoint. I am not going to do that again. I I.D. most with WS and his point of view and all that share this viewpoint concerning Independance Day, God, the Constitution, and the American way. Cuthbert and others are certainly historians in explaining the origins of our way of life. Which has certainly changed over time. Those who know the Bible know "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." The key word is ALL. Granted, we have all done terrible things as individuals and groups of people, some in the name of God. None of us has walked on water, and none of us be sinless. The US has drifted from it's origins and paid the price, but we are still Alive, and that is what we are celebrating at this point. Even though we have fallen in the past, present, and future, we are FREE and ALIVE and God loves us! Thank Him for his Grace because we all screw up, but He forgives us. All of you Christians out there, God Bless You! All of you non-Christians, even if you dont believe in God, God Bless You too! I hope all had a great day yesterday and today! Satriella worked yesterday and I hope the new job was great!

alexandre - Hey man. How are you? I agree that the British press has been/is being very harsh towards Cristiano Ronaldo (that's the very nature of the British press!), but you just have to watch the games to realise that Portugal play a dirty game of football. They did the same against Holland, and that match was a disgrace to the World Cup because of it. I'm confident that it's by no means a representation of the Portuguese people though.

On the Scolari issue, I don't think he was ever going to be captain anyway. The way I saw it is that McLaren had all but been offered the job, but there were a lot of "negotiations" with otehr managers - such as Scolari and Allardyce - to make the whole thing look a little more open and a little less corrupt. To be honest though, I'm glad to see the back of Eriksson; he's been a terrible manager...

Delfino - Are you kidding? With those two teams, the final's gonna be the best game this World Cup has seen!!!

JOE & ZZ......WOW!!!!!

Alexandre - Aww sorry bout Portugal my friend!

Zenfish - Congrats on France going through...I am supporting them for you but Italy for the Italian lady I job-share with....hehe

narface - well it has been a long time....April 05 where have you been?......I know what your thinking...Satriella...Satriella....I don't remember a Satriella?.....Don't fret I only joined in September so you don't know me from Adam.....but I post every day so you will get used to me....hehe

Anibur - thanks honey that's good glad you don't mind

Master Yoda - well glad you had a reasonably good time then......yeah We are hoping to go to Go Ape in Thetford, it's only up the road bout 45 minutes from us...any tips?

Hello There Satchaholic’s

Work is so boring today all the systems are down, At least we still have the net, Yey. Anybody got a Chrome Boy for Sale? I saw a mirror painted J.S go on E bay the other day for about $450 in mint condition, I would have napped it up but the seller would not send it out side of the U.S…..Dam it….

Satriella Cool Sounds good. I am going to get some stuff on dinner to start drawing again. Might just start with Pencil and work back up to using Goulash Paint’s (spelling permitted) I used to love using Goulash great to work with.

Hey Joe

When Are You Coming To Vancouver BC? Id Really Love To See You In Concert. Ive Been A Huge Fan Of Yours Since I Lived In Dubai, UAE And Now I Live In Canada.

Keep Up The Great Work. Great New Album By The Way.

Cheers Joe.

St. Swithin's Day if thou dost rain, For forty days it will remain; St. Swithin's Day if thou be fair, For forty days 'twill rain na mair

Hi Joe,

I'm Jose Desales and from the Philippines. Some of my friends also call me Joe because they know that I'm a very big fan of yours.

Two years ago, I was in Concord, California. I stepped into the local Tower Records there and I saw a flyer announcing that you would do an in-store performance on 13 April 2004 for the realease of your new album then "Is There Love In Space". I captured that performance on a videocam I borrowed from a friend.

Then it was time for your autographs. I didn't mind falling in line for more than an hour just to get your signature on 4 of your earlier albums. I had a picture taken with you and my friend are dead envious everytime I show them the pic.

On the release of your new album, I was excited to get a copy of it. Unfortunately, the local record stores here in the Philippines don't have it yet. Last week, my girlfriend Teresa and I went to Singapore for a weekend vacation. The first stop a made was in Tower Records in Suntec. It didn't take me more than a minute to buy a copy. I had a chat with the cashier there and he told me that your wife is from Singapore.

I have been listening to Super Colossal everyday for the last two weeks and I really enjoy every track in it. My favorite is One Robot's Dream. Now, I have a complete collection of your albums!

Rock on!

hey Joe!

yesterday would have been the second time I would see you. But on the highway to Hardenberg I got involved in a serious car crash - which wasn't my fault, luck wasn't on my side I guess :(
I hope the gig was as good as the one in Amsterdam (which was awesome), and I hope the Dutch were also a great audience for you!

Dear Joe,

What a fantastic show it was on the 5th of july in Hardenberg, NL, even though it was about 40 degrees celsius... Thanks so much for the photos and autographs! (Also thanks to Jeff, Dave and Galen of course)

We also really liked Adrian Legg. Both his music and his kindness were much appreciated as well as yours.

One thing that really worried me: Joe, you looked absolutely exhausted after the show, like you hadn't had a good night's sleep in weeks. Please do look after yourself!

To conclude with I would like to wish you a happy birthday in advance!

Good luck with the show and all the best,

Waterproof Soap - you know the way your last post was set out was like someone on their death-bed...calling everyone and saying a little something before they go.....you not going anywhere are you?

I will answer that for you....before you get the chance to give the wrong answer....

NO! Your staying right here.....right?

njbeast - your post made no sense what so-ever?...none....zippo....your painting with Goulash? ..... what? ..... is that like the same as Beef Stroganoff? .... what has that to do with drawing? .... I am confused...yeah yeah no change there then .... seriously are you being serious or joking .... i have read it over and over and I can't make my mind up? .... except to say good you are gonna draw...

cuthbert1776 - clap clap well done my friend!

All I can say is.....Holy S..T. That's amazing and if didn't see it and hear it I would have never guessed one guitar. How does one even start learning a technique like that?
