Bored I guess, I now see Nascar fans in a whole new light LMAO....

Do the stu: My two younger brothers went to that Chicago LTE concert last year. yeah they said that it was hilarious, and they told me also about the Rudess keyboard incident you can watch part of it here:

Joe, I doubt you will ever have the time to read this, but I had a question, so I thought I would try. I know you write your own music, but if I had a piece of music I wrote, that I wanted to give you. No charge, will sign whatever paperwork needed to do so, would you take it if you like it, and use it? I know you have probably been asked a million times, and if so, I apologize for the redundancy, but I really think if you could hear it, you would love it. Its one of the most beautiful progressions I have ever written, and I think you could really take the song where it deserves to go. if you would like, i can post mp3/tabs for it, or whatever. Thanks for your time

Sedoy..no need to apologize, I just thought it was cool looking. And as soon as all of us unemployed get our jobs back, I'll give you the thumbs-up to c'mon over and give it a shot..lol.

Americans are'nt all that bad are we? Well maybe with the exception of certain Coldplay fans..

Hey Joe! This is Richard from Guelph ON. My school has been chosen by Habitat for Humanity to go to El Salvador and help build houses for the people who need it. Only 23 people have been chosen and I am one of them. My supervisor has asked everyone to think of ideas to raise money. So I thought to myself maybe I could get some bands and myself, just people from my school to play and raise money for El Salvador. Then I got thinking who is the one guitarist that I have listened to all my life? And I thought of YOU! So I was wondering if you could come to my school and play and help us raise money because I think you would be able to help us out. I have no idea how much I would have to pay to get you to come but if you could just take moment and think about it, me and everyone who is going to El Salvador will be great full for your contribution to help us get on our way to help the people who need it. Thanks! :)

maritime - Ah...sorry about the dead links. I just went searching through Google Images and picked some good ones. They worked for me for a few minutes. Oh well.

Your right, the sound on that video is pretty bad, but it's shot from much closer than the other ones I saw so now that I have the CD I think I like it more...haha.

I went to the next LTE show, in Downey, and during the same song John's guitar rig went down. So Jordan had to do an extended solo for a few short minutes...it was pretty funny, considering what had just happened in Chicago.

Just in case...

Things to do, or not do, when you get a pink slip

1- Get mad. Go home and grieve. Have a really good cry. Slam tennis balls against the wall. Scream. But do it once. Do it thoroughly. And then move on. Do not cradle your grief.

2- Share your situation with your loved ones. Focus on the good stuff. For at least one day, make a conscious effort to erase job and money woes. Hug your family and friends - it's an amazing tonic for self-pity.

3- Do not rush out and spend money. Shopping won't make you feel better. Make a budget. Watch for sales. Clip coupons. Do not run up your credit card debt on the theory that you'll pay it off later. Be frugal.

4- Sign up for unemployment benefits if you're eligible. You apply online in the state where you worked. If your pink slip includes severance benefits, bank your state jobless benefits in case you really need them in the future. If you're let go without severance payments, work hard on your household budget; your state jobless benefits will be less than your take-home pay has been.

5- Find a list of job-loss support groups in your area. Pick out two or three and attend the meetings. You'll learn a lot about the local job market and get job-hunting tips from fellow attendees.

6- Do not plan to suspend job hunting for weeks or even months. Make job hunting your job one. It will help you to be as busy as you can be. And even if your first contacts don't produce a job, you'll be in the pipeline and familiar with the routine.

7- Network. Use gatherings at your religious institution and at your fraternal, club or community organization meetings. Be positive. Don't moan about your job loss, but do mention that you're in a job search. Be brief and specific about what you do or what you're interested in doing. Don't be so needy that people shy away from you. Be confident.

8- Get up every day at the same time. Get dressed. Use the Internet, the newspaper, business magazines and conversations to get a bead on industries or organizations that are hiring. Do NOT spend your time huddled over the computer, firing resumes out to anything and everything. That will just depress you. Target your applications very, very carefully.

9- Take a subsistence job. Nothing is beneath you if you need the work, especially if money worries or idleness are concerns. Sometimes an entry-level position in the service industry can morph into a management or professional position.

10- Volunteer. Lots of nonprofit organizations are strained by an influx of needy clients. Get out there and help. It will make you feel better to help others, and it may produce some networking opportunities that could turn into a job.

Awww...

Hi all. Thanks for the welcome Anibur.

Do The Stu: I'm from that island where the Tasmanian devil comes from... Tasmania. It's across the water from Victoria where the bushfire chaos went down. Strangely we had our hottest temperatures ever the week before the fires broke out and then back to normal, but unfortunately the mainland stayed in a heatwave.
