GlitzMan: Thanks for the breathing tips, I shall definitely try it out. Keep it up!
Austin, so u did go to the Thing!! What did u think about it?? I was more creeped out by the desert tarantulas than anything else there. :)
You got some very good snow there, in March no less. Cool pics dude
GoldenGirl2: If I could spend a full day with Satch I would bring my guitar and have him teach me as much stuff as I could take in for about 3 hours. Then I'd ask him to give me his tour of the Bay Area. You know, it's one thing to pay for a prearranged tour, and something completely different to have a local show you around. Then probably hang out at a blues joint or something. And I wouldn't tape or record anything, 'cause the mind gets lazy when it knows it has backup. Maybe catch a football game (in season, of course). U know, just hang around with the guy. I think that would be cool.
I must say, if I had answered this question 10 years ago I probably would've said "all day long jam". :)

Hey the Bears got themselves a decent quarterback!!! Is it still April Fool's or what???? Cutler to Hester for a touchdown!!!! Cool deal, I never thought the Bears would ever go after a good, young QB.

scuba You need to make sure the ticket is not exposed to light, moisture, extreme temperatures and shaking or vibration (since it's the key to a night many want, few will have ;-)

Gee thanks GuitarVibes - just rub it in why don't you? Do you think there is way for you to meet the band at the show, and if so, can you say hi from Skippygirl and give em a hug?
Scubydazzy - *drools from corner of mouth* - wow look at that baby, for heaven's sake don't lose it. All I have in my ticket collection at the moment is -
1. World Cup qualifier Australia Vs. Japan in June at the MCG - awesome
2. Pink in July, mainly for my daughters and a bit of fun with my sister-in-law and her daughter
3. French & Saunders in July, for a larf with my girlfriends.
I need a Joe or a Chickenfoot - Joe please give me some love down here in Oz.
Glitzy - you keep working hard and it will happen, maybe not how you think but it will lead to something up the ladder.

cosmic_ape - Ah, interesting... So where's your nearest UPS distribution center, in case you miss delivery and have to go pick it up? I have to drive way out to Cerritos...argh.
Skippygirl - Don't be negative so soon...Chickenfoot might still have plans for Australia. It's a smaller market, though, and wouldn't be one of the first ones that the band hits. So it's not unusual to have no news yet. They're doing Europe in the summer, the US in the fall, and...maybe Australia in December? I can see that happening.
I think this summer will be Sammy's first in Europe since he left Van Halen. And VH didn't ever play Australia until after he left, so there's a chance he's never been there.
If the album does pretty well, I think Australia is very likely...
Pip Satrini - Thanks for posting a picture of your ticket...seeing "Chickenfoot" there makes it more real and good. :-)
I don't know that I ever did share anything about the Paul Gilbert gig. It was good though, haha. Give me a day to piece some thoughts together and I'll post something here.
Glitz Man - We need Chickenfoot tour dates before I can start to plan a road trip. ;-) But I'd like to hit a show or two in California on my own (or with family) and then maybe travel somewhere. No formal plans have been made but I think there's talk of swarming michelle in Pennsylvania. That sounds good to me.
If that doesn't work out, I'll probably go to St. Louis to catch a show there in addition to California...I have an uncle there who's a big Sammy Hagar fan.
elpp - The Thing was very cool...I love goofy stuff like that. My favorite thing was the possible Hitler mobile, I think, but then again I'm a Simpsons fan so... ;-)
That was a fun stop to make after a long day of driving. About 10 years ago my family drove to St. Louis and back...and I'll never forget the huge drug store, Wall Drug, in South Dakota that we stopped at. It was the same deal as The Thing, with billboards advertising it 100 miles away...

Gltz,..I 'm doin OK if the weather would dry fro a few weeks, Good luck with the running. I was never good at distance running I suspect because I did not know how to breathe properly. Since I have learn ed to breathe in 2 and out one, expanding my lungs, it really helped me with long stints on the Arc Trainer@ the gym.
Thanks GG2Proud to be a friend. Hope all goes well for you and Steve.

Michelle - look out, yer gonna get swarmed... it's official LOL.
Do The Stu - look forward to the PG post.
Scuba - I didn't see the post, whatever it was, so no offence taken. If I did take offence to something I'm sure I'd say, say no worries there.
Cube - thanks again man but I have no doubt you could do Echo better than I did it. I admire originality more, and you've got it and chops to match!

Hi JOE, I'm an Italian boy and I love your music. I know your parents are Italian, too. How do you consider my country?
On 5th July you'll play in Lignano Sabbiadoro, but I have high school exams those days, so I won't be able to see you in concert... I play guitar I have a Swedish Hagstrom F20 Deluxe. I always have seen you playing Ibanez guitars, why did you choose that kind of guitar? My father says that you could play a Fender or a Gibson for the blues solos... If you answer me I'll be the happiest boy in the world! Sorry for the English... Thankyou for the time you've lost for reading my message. YOU'RE My Legend!

Austin, I've only ordered one thing so far since moving to L.A. so it hasn't been bad... The route in this area takes place usually after 5 so I was home the second time (the first time the usual guy called in sick so somebody else was doing his route at a different time)... But when I used to live in Michigan, the nearest UPS center was over 60 miles away! Most of my animosity came from past experiences...
Either way, they never tell me when they're gonna be around or let me schedule anything over the phone so I just suck it up and wait...

DoTheStu: Love the road trip pics...looks soooo different over there to here. Plus, I like the way you catalogued breakfasts...:) Really like the meteor crater ones as well...
GlitzMan: Sounds like you're doing well...congrats on the results!
JSPhil: Woops...looks like I jinxed him...=O I have a Ferrari supporting friend who insists Lewis is a 'crap' driver, he's just talking out of his arse, so I don't really listen to him. Anyway, why don't you like Jenson?

Mornin' people. I'm slowly catching up on your messages. I wouldn't want to miss any of em for the world!
Thanks for all your support. I was a dead woman walking on Monday and Tuesday, but things started to turn around on Wednesday. Steve is doing better and his primary care doctor called him Tuesday night! They had a good talk and just after that he got a call from a neuropsychiatrist at Stanford! Thank God!! He was a lot more calm and we hugged and talked about meeting with two doctors at Stanford---made appointments for next week and week after!
Al--Thanks for the "waterfall" vid great song and cover AND yes, I'm smiling o course! One of me favorite lunis, you!
Igneousiceman--This forum would be missing a ray of sunshine without you....Thanks for your support!
I had to roll the credits to clear out all the cobwebs and shit goin' on. The attitude of gratitude is a powerful antidote to hard times. Joe, Thanks for casting your wonderful musical net over and waking me up to great horizons of pure joyous guitar songs!
GoldenMilli ;-)

Has anyone been to a Zappa Plays Zappa show? I've never really listened to much Zappa, though I do recall a song, FHITA, that one of my brothers used to talk about. He loved Zappa and would walk around singing some of the weirdest shit.
Anyway, Zappa Plays Zappa is playing locally next week. Would it be worth going even if you weren't real familiar with the material?

Hey guys, long time no post. Hows everyone doing? Had some computer problems, but all's well now. Went to the Metallica gig in Glasgow the other week, did'nt have a ticket but was lucky enough to get one outside. Fantastic show, anyone lucky enough to see them got a real treat. DO THE STU- won tickets to see a Rush tribute band next weekend, let you know how it goes. Have a great Easter weekend everyone.
