Sweet! They're filming some stuff for the movie The Last Airbender at our Reading Pagoda tomorrow! They've been doing renovations on it for the past few years. New bright red lights around the edges of each tier, clearing the brush surrounding the base of the Pagoda (damn fire bugs!) and stuff like that. It's pretty cool that a movie will be shot there. It's a beautiful place and a landmark of the city I grew up in.
At night you can see if from miles around at the top of Mt. Penn. It's really beautiful for the crap city it's in.

This shite makes my fuckin blood boil.....BBC news on the Michelle Obama visit
"By Wednesday evening she had sported four different outfits, from a bright yellow dress designed by Jason Wu (the man behind her inaugural ball gown), to a sparkly cardigan and skirt set by US high street store J Crew (another of her favourites). The fashion press have so far given her outfits the thumbs up"
WHO ARE THE FASHION PRESS? line those fuckers up i feel the need t use my sub machine gun.Does that mean if she scuffed around in jeans & a t-shirt she would get shunned?¿.... it absolutely does...you are what you wear in the gay snob west

Slan, at least they're not pointing out all her fat (she has none). They eat that shit up when women are 2 lbs over their "expected" weight. Who cares what they're wearing or who made it or what it cost. Michelle's $250. dollar J Crew sweater would be no match if McCain's wife would be the first lady. They'd be telling us how many thousands of dollars her sweater would cost. Personally I'd rather not know
These press mo's have nothing better to report

Ah...it's nice to see I caught a few people with the April Fools' joke. I know it was long and over-done, but I think it's more fun to go way overboard and see just when people finally "get" it. I expected that moment to be right where it was for michelle, with Z.Z. playing bass. ;-)
I'll have to change my strategy next year, and come up with something short and sweet...
burly - I'd only consider myself a casual Kiss fan (I only own Double Platinum and Unplugged), but I like what I've heard. If Gene and Paul want to continue as Kiss without the original lineup I'm OK with that, but my biggest gripe with the band today is that they're dressing up two other people in the Ace and Peter makeup. It's dishonest and it's a huge slap in the face to the band's history. I'm not surprised, based on what I know about Gene and Paul, but it is a bit shocking that the two other musicians are completely fine with going along with the game. It's sickening...
scubadaz - Wow...I can't believe it's been that long already, for PSATMOR. It's been a fun year...
aussieRGman - It's nice to see you here again. :-)
Igneousiceman - "Nice one though Austin...(unless it is true, has anyone thought of that???)"
That'd be something, but it won't happen. Eddie would never allow it...he wouldn't let the band Soul SirkUS open for Van Halen in 2004 because Neal Schon and Deen Castronovo were in it...that project grew out of Planet Us, which included Sammy and Mikey.
Satch was a part of that too, and now that they're in Chickenfoot together I think we can rule out Eddie ever doing G3 or anything else Satch-related. It's unfortunate, as it's something I'd love to see...but I'm looking forward to Chickenfoot more.
michelle - "Sweet! They're filming some stuff ..."
Hehehe...it's nice to see someone enthusiastic about filming. My usual reaction here in Long Beach is "Argh...they're blocking off streets for filming AGAIN? I hate CSI: Miami!"
Good morning to you, by the way! ;-)
slanshroom - I can't stand celebrity media coverage. I really wish someone would just fight it...I'd have a ton of respect for someone like Angelina Jolie if she'd decide to show up to the Oscars in jeans and a t-shirt one year. But it'll never happen because celebrities love the attention.
It bugs me that the general public loves it to. Just how does the clothing of the first lady or a movie star affect your life? Argh...
...Austin...

Austin- When I was about 9 or 10 I was just getting into Kiss. The Love Gun album had just came out, they were releasing stuff like mad.tons of hype. They were at their peak. It was magical for a lot of kids my age. I was never crazy about the lineup change even when Peter left the band. It just was never the same. I did like some of the Kiss/ metal era but when they dressed up the two other guys I said to myself, it's over.
The same would be true for some fans of Van Halen with Dave being replaced. Myself I prefer Sammy and I was into them from day 1.

Slan - There is a story on right now about Michelle Obama's J Crew fashions. Personally if you're spending news time on her 200 dollar shirt or if we were talking about McCain's wife's 2000 shirt, it's still a waste of valuable news time. See Obaman was actually smart. He outspent McCain by a record margain during the campaign. Michelle is lucky she's wearing a 200 J Crew and not a 20 dollar Kohls knock off!! There, that's news of the morning. now on to less important things...Job cuts increased by a huge margain in March over February.....ho hum....I wonder who made Matt Lauer's suit this morning............

I was listening to the Extremist this morning and PSATMOR---Great albums. I can't get REVELATION off my mind. Joe, with Revelation you show a maturity and perfection that is out of this world! It tells a great story about you, your generousity, all about boundless love and how contagious that is......It's about victory and weaving a seamless fabric that catches people along the way.......you caught me with ENGINES OF CREATION first and second with CRYSTAL PLANET.......I prefer CP because of Secret Prayer, Train of Angels and ZZs Song........Yet I listen to the whole album and feel its blanket of comfort and I am in a better place. I would love to spend a day with you......just to experience a day in the life of Joe Satriani........Would that be possible or only in my dreams? What would all you T2Jers think of spending just one day with Joe and what would you bring with you?

[GG2:][/b] GG, I'm not much on jokes. On the Epilectic front: Steven Wilde has a "Stress seisure" disorder much like that, that is treated with the same or simmilar meds. have you looked into having his doc adjust them or look for better alternantives. When Steven was on Depicote, he had problems with it, then after a long time the doc realized that they could use something else that now works full time instead of him having seisures thru the meds. It's always best to be a patient as you can be. They do snap outa it and will be okay in most cases. It's some times harder for someone else to see it that for the pperson going thru it, depending on your experiences. Nothing to play around with or Joke about. I'm sure if Steven had a computer now he could give you some great advice on the subject, mush better than I could. GB Keep Rockin' I do! Randell

GOLDEN GIRL2..
Id so be up for that to spend the day with Satch i think anyone that loves his Music would. Id take a Video camera with me and document the day with him so that i could reflect on it for years to come and hand it down to my kids and tell them this guy is the Greatest Guitar player in the world if you decide to learn the guitar listen to Joe Satriani and study what he does and what inspires him to keep the Ball rolling.
His son Z.Z must be so happy to have a dad like him??

OK...I went through the 450-something pictures I took on my trip and picked just over a hundred that I put in a Google Picasa web album.
Or you can see an album of my 60 favorites on Facebook.
If you want a list of all the music I listened to on my trip, that is also on Facebook...but you need to have your own page to be able to see it. Give me time and I'll copy that list somewhere else that's open to everyone.
Now that Chickenfoot tickets are starting to come in, can someone take a picture to share with us (assuming the ticket actually says "Chickenfoot" on it)...? Cover up any barcodes/seat numbers, of course, but I wanna see! ;-)
GoldenGirl2 - Secret Prayer is one of my favorite songs from Crystal Planet...I wish he'd play it live (I don't think he ever has, unless it was in the CP tour setlist).
What are some of your favorite songs from The Extremist? My favorite Satch song is Why, from that album...it's a bit crazy, I know, but what do you think of it?
Listening to: Pear Jam - Ten (current song: Master/Slave)
...Austin...

scubadaz, if only you could schedule a delivery! you think I haven't tried that? These guys basically expect you to be home all day waiting for your freaking package to come... they even have the nerve to point that your package will be delivered between the hours of "9 and 5" and I just can't believe it! WTF!
When you tell them you are trying to make it easier for all parties involved, they tell you they can't do that, they can't even tell you around what time the freaking guy is going to be around your neighborhood...
So, you can either just hope for the best or go pick up your damn package a week after you were supposed to get it, because it has been in transit all that time and you missed all three attempts to deliver... and how dare you have a job that lets you buy the shit you just ordered in the first place? you should be a f***ing telemarketer or something and work from your couch so you can wait at home for any package you might receive between the hours of 9 and 5...
wow, I'm angry today! sorry...

HELLO EVERYBODY!!!
I hope everyone is doing well. Sorry I haven't wrote to you all in quite a while. I have been busy with running, work, family, etc.
I mentioned to you all I had that 20K Run back on March 21st. The course was all brand new and hard. My legs were hurting me when I was going through so many hills. As a result, my time was 1 hour, 24 minutes, and 12 seconds. I was 2nd in my age division and I was 14th overall out of 125 runners. I have another two races coming up on the last two Saturdays of April.
TO ALL OF YOU T2JERS:
Do the Stu (Austin), Zinc Master, SuperSwingDog (Dave), Cheese 101 (Tracie), Michelle, Burly (Steve), Zach K, Guitarman77897, GoldenGirl2 (Millie), Castle49, Ibanezplyr (Randell), Keniko, Hybes, Tikimon, JS_JS, Cosmic Ape, Punkdude 75, Gotta Have Joe (Kayla)
Guitarvibes/Maritime, js1200js1000, Death Cube K, Slashroom, Cappy Steve, Scubadaz (Darren), Igenousiceman, Satriella, Pip Satriani, Anibur, Taane (Ian), Fatape, Roo, Dream3, Railton, Tostado, alexandrecaetano, Elpp, and Skippygirl (one of the best for last)
To everyone else who I left out:
What's happening with all of you? How's life treating you these days? I hope you are all doing well. What's going on with your lives? By the way, my Mom had surgery yesterday and it went well. She had one of her lymph nodes removed (a swelled saliva gland to be more exact). She went back to the hospital today to have some drainage removed. I thank God that it all went well. I hope everyone's families are doing well also. My prayers are to all of you and your families. Keep your head held high and stay cool, and positive.
I also had some blood tests done a couple of weeks ago. When they took the needle out of me, I started feeling warm, my color was fading, and I almost passed out, but I was okay. They just took a little too much blood out of me and it is all good. I just got the results today. The results are all great, just a couple things that are a little low and one that is a little high.
Work is coming along well. I am thinking about getting a second job. I thought about going back to my prior job at the Hilton to work, but I don't know for sure. I heard and think a lot of people at the Hilton want me back. I have worked at both places before, but for only a short period of time. I found out my schedule today and I have to do double-duty this Saturday: Work in the restaurant in the morning and then work in banquets in the afteroon/evening.
Running is going well. I ran two half-marathons, one Monday and another yesterday. I am working on trying to do a full marathon with the help from Joe on my MP3 Player. The most miles I put in nonstop I think is 18 miles. A lot of my friends and coworkers said I am ready for a marathon, but I'm not sure yet. What do you guys think? Do you think I'm ready to do one or not? Give me your honest answers/opinions.
For those who mentioned to be about breathing techniques for running, try breathing in every two steps and out every two steps. Also try to start out easy and then start increasing your speed near the end. Keep practicing and trying because the more you do, the better you will get. If there is a group/club for those who like to run, perhaps you can join in. I joined one last year and it was fun and my times have gotten better.
Joe: Hope things are going well with you and the band (Chickenfoot). Keep up all the excellent work you have done for all of your fans. I cannot wait for your guys' new album to come out. You're one excellent guitar virtuoso ever on this planet.
Webmaster Jon: Keep up the excellent you do as well.
Stu Hamm, Jeff Campitelli, & Eric Caudieux: Rock on you guys!
Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, & Chad Smith: Rock on!!! Show us some love on this forum please.
Well, I better stop now. I will chat with you all later. Best to all of you and your families, friends, coworkers, and everyone. See ya!!
