cheese...awesome pictures. I gotta give your son credit. If it were me getting my playing technique analyzed I would have broken under the pressure...lol. Thanks for sharing those..

Why, Mckenna was arrested fer being entirely too cute in the US of course!! lol!!

Yep, I think you could say Chris was a teeeeeeny bit nervous over his time with Joe....I don't know how many times he swallowed...gulped....in the first minute sitting down with him, lol....but Joe has a very calming effect, usually. It's just that this time wasn't just a meet and greet, stand and visit kinda thing, it was OMG I've got my guitar and he's got his and we're gonna play and he's gonna watch me and listen and OMG....yeah...like that, lol!!

***Joe thinkin*** why on earth are people interested in what I eat? .....LOL...

Andy of uk....noooo.....I meant the live vid with Mick J in 1988.........Joe with not much on.......pwoooarrrrrr...........

Al update: I'm meeting him at his hostel at 2 p.m. We'll probably stop by the Guitar Center and then head down to Santa Monica / Venice Beach. Maybe we'll go up to Malibu, too...who knows. I wonder if Al will want to swim back up to Alcatraz.

Anyway, have decisions already been made about next year's crazy T2J meet-up? Pennsylvania? That sounds fun to me. I think this tour might be in larger venues, though, so...michelle, where do the bigger acts play when they come through town? Aerosmith, Van Halen, The Who, etc...

And great call on the Prisoner reference with the balloon photos...haha.

I miss Joe....lol!

Austin, I'm with chelle....it's time fer that smack on the ol' Irish lips, you've hung around with Mc long enough so it won't be awkward :) As to the Crazy Horse, yeah.....we tried selling Al to them but they weren't sure about his Irish accent ;) It's so much fun standing outside a strip club all day, really....although for some reason, this time I dint pay near as much attention to the people coming and going in there, as there were too many funny t2j peeps to talk to! Oh, and the other peoples walking by trying to get money or sell wierd stuff. At least security at the Warfield was good about keeping them movin' on.

Makes ya wonder what Joe thinks when he reads that we're already forming a posse for some ChickenPA gatherings back east....they haven't even finished the studio work yet, lol!

Have fun at the beach...I'm sure there will be a bikini or two to entertain you both fer at least a lil while.....

Oh, and thanks for the podcasts Joe, love em.....hope you keep them coming forever, lol!

Remember how a few days ago Michelle's happy was happy? I hope she's the same today...but...my tired is TARRED!! I'm still on Satchafunkilitis time!

Anibur - its the chest hair - aahh! needed some water....

In the Deep Down Under DVD (where that clip is from) he also wears a black singlet for one of Mick's shows - also very sexy.

Dearest Joe,

I'm only beginning to discover what a rich (in love), compassionate and caring human being you are--I am in awe and am learning why fans call you Saint Joseph. Your music scales the heights of heaven and gives me a divine ladder to climb out of the morass of human mockeries. What a great brother/friend you are--showing what human hands can do with a guitar! I am a student in awe and will be getting an acoustic guitar by year's end--a special therapist.

I was introduced to another Joe's music--Joe Elliot of Def Leppard, by my younger sister in the 1980s. More great rock n roll and showmanship! I like the song, "Photograph".

To all you Satchland peeps,

Have any of you seen the French movie, "Amelie"? I saw it last night and loved it! It was a great story AND showed how stupid and selfish suicide is. It has humor and humanity in it that is often lacking in American films. The thread of philanthropic adventure and the eventual bonding of the lovers at the end made it worth every minute.

I'm feeling better and will be going to work tomorrow.

Maritime--Thank you for the Satchurator pedal demonstration and the Guitar World Features. Joe's writing about where he has been and where he is now musically is so interesting. Also, Amsterdam is expecting snow soon--maybe it will be time to put on ice skates? I used to ice skate a lot growing up when a rink was nearby.

Michelle and Tracie--Thanks for all your posts!

Catch up with ya'all later.
