Hey guys, new to this but here it goes.

Ken : thx to notice it.

ill look out for that book, i told peeps at work, oddly enough 2 peeps i know of sound character said they have both seen at some point, something unexplainable in our sky.

so much more under it all- as vai said.

ITLIS is surperb, lovely chunky riffs, hes sounds pissed off on this cd, loads of attitude.

jeff who else came today, im on 1st listen right now and its awesome so far.

ooo Stevee T, happy belated birthday, hope it was a really good one, and good luck with your new love and all that will bring you. The most important thing of all is love.

Keniko....prayers with you for your whole family, I hope the outcome is really good for your dad, but understand how scary this can be. We'll all be here for you when you need support.

Slansh, will do on the videos, you may have a lot to catch up on when you come back :) For some odd reason, I'm thinking of you and your family as I prepare to get on the plane tomorrow...I won't forget your kind offer to come stay with you in Barca, just the fact you offered I mean. That meant a lot. Now....you take good care of yourself, your wife and your adorable son, we'll miss you.....have a productive time but hurry back!

I think you'll survive it just fine mc....I think.....

And besides, you get TWO hugs from Joe, one for you, one for me so BONUS for you :) plus u get to be in my presence....well....okay, that's not a bonus but you'll live through it......

DCK - Don't tell Slansh not to work too hard. He needs to "work his nads off" - all 4 of them!

Slansh - Sorry I haven't been around for you lately. I'll remedy that. I'll give you a call soon. My mum is here for a week - nightmare. I hear you about not liking the fact that the public don't understand brilliance. They only know what they are used to and don't quite get anything out of the box - except for those in this forum. When you think of it, if Joe were starting off now, it would be much harder for him given the decline of rock music. That said, his music does have broad appeal accross ages and genres. Now though, he can play for himself and he has the following. Don't look at commercialism as 'selling out'. Its just reaching people incrementally!

Clarky - We need to catch up! I often wonder how the old Rusty Cage is working out.

Ovation still around? Hi Mikey, Kayla, MikeSb, SteveeT, etc etc

Joe - Enjoy the tour. Just got the new album and looking forward to a blast of it after my mother leaves town!

Ken, ain't that the shit! I'm so sorry to hear the news about yer dad. Hopefully he'll gain strength and take treatment well. Ask the doc if he can drink Ensure or something like that to give his nourishment a boost. I'll send good vibes your way.

T'bones, what time are you leaving for the airport, and what time is yer flight?

Ally, you be nice to T 'er I'm coming over there next! You'll have yer hands full of a McAssbeatin'. lol!

hey satch i saw you at Manchester last week and i gotta say it was immence my only complaint is the 3 songs i really wanted to hear wernt played:( Is there love in Space?, New Blues and Come On Baby but who cares I SAW SATCH and the setlist was really really goood i was wondering whether there would be a live dvd/cd from this tour i think it would be a great idea bcos i love the live satch and its great to hear new versions of live songs :D

Hey Joe,

Hey everyone.

Wow great show in cardiff last night, second time ive seen you guys there, awesome venue, really cool crowd and masterpiece performances once again.

Was it me Joe or were there alot more little kids there than last time?

Its always such a diverse crowd which is great, where I was sat there were lots of little guys with there mums and dads, always great to see new people getting into this awesome music.

Had a wander up to the stage to check out your pedal board, the satchurator looked very nice.

Thanks for the great show once again guys.

chelle....I leave here at 6 am tomorrow to drive to Reno, flight leaves for Denver around 2ish....then Denver to London Heathrow which takes aaaaaaaallllll night, then London to Ireland...so I leave 2 pm on Wednesday and arrive after 3pm on Thursday....can u say old dishrag? :)

Mc is skerred of me coming and will prolly pretend not to know me. I'll be all alone in a strange country full of strange peoples =/ I tole my brother to send u 3 of my kitties if I don't make it back chelly :) Chris gets Sweetie, u get the rest :)

that's cuz yer wierd and luni mckenna...long flights are a literal pain in the a** to sit through :) But I hope to be able to sleep, at least a lil...and yep, I saw that the flight from London to there is just a hop, skip and a jump, about the time u get up to cruising altitude u need to get ready to land, lol.....

Having melt downs about every 5 minutes now though....just lots and lots of tears and wishes that can't come true no matter how hard a person wishes. Doesn't a body EVER run out of tears? Like....dry up ever?

Chee, they don'r have pub cats in Ireland? lol! You can use them to dust the bottles and keep the mice away at O'Safley's Pub, but if I must, I will take poopy, peety, & stink. I'll send some lol cats to cheer you :-)
