Tracie, Happy 51st Birthday. Wow, you're almost Joe's age. I'm speechless! Happy Birthday to ya. What are you going to do to celebrate? Again, Happy Birthday.
Pip55: What, I can't even ask a simple question about how old someone is on their birthday? LOL. Hope things are going well for ya.
Hybes: That is some weather down there. You must have endured every single kind. Is Oklahoma the home to all kinds of weather? That's awesome you run. I am in a running group and we run anywhere from 3-10 miles. Some of them try to run with me, but I usually slow down my running/pace so the group and I can stay together. I tell those that it doesn't matter how fast or slow you go, what matters is what you accomplish. I like to cheer them all on. I really get motivated when I do my races and when I finish, I tend to go back and cheer on all the other participants. In my opinion, for those who finish in any race, they are considered winners to me because they accomplished that challenge. As for me, I haven't been running much (once or twice a week now) because of my jobs. I did put in a good 17-18 mile jog in yesterday (for about 2 hours & 15 minutes). I'm working on qualifying for the Boston Marathon. I do have a 20K Run coming up this Saturday.
DTS & Elpp: Austin, have fun at the Dream Theater & Iron Maiden concert/gig.
One more day until seeing Joe. Can't wait.
Grant

I'm trying to remember, but I think we had a really serious snow there one year in MAY...I could be wrong about the month though, the memory ain't what it used to be since my brain cells are "frekking old" ....lol!
Yeah Grant, 51 makes me speechless too =| But it's okay, I'm even more famous than Joe....there's not many people in the world who don't like cheese ;D As to celebrating, did that last weekend when my son was home, nice family dinner. Today, just hangin out, lil house work, lil yard work, and a movie with my lil mum :) Typical Sunday! Have a WONDERFUL time with Joe tomorrow, I know you will! Blow him a kiss from all of us here!!

Glitz Man! Grant - I looked on Sweetwater's site as soon as I knew about the event, but they didn't have anything setup for registration at that time... by the time I saw the event posted on their site, I registered but only got into the Conference Hall, and not the Performance Hall. :( A co-worker/Joe fan and I hope to be at Sweetwater by 5-5:30pm. I'm still hoping we can somehow make it into the Performance hall... Either way, the 3 hour drive up will be worth it I'm sure.
...maybe JOE could get a T2J guy and his buddy into the performance hall??? :)
did I mention I will have driven 800 miles round trip in a 5 day period to see JOE? I could at least be up for eligibile for some JoeMiles or something...haha

I think roo's trip to Chickenfoot in Berkeley and Universal City last year puts him toward the top of the list, although I think Patricia still has him beat with her multiple trips from the UK to both the east and west coasts of the US.
I've seen Joe 30 times, but I've never traveled farther than about 125 miles from "home" for me in either southern or northern CA. Even if I only count Long Beach as home I'm still not close...the drive to San Francisco is long (400 miles), but it's only 25 miles to Anaheim and 30 miles to Los Angeles.
It's likely Tracie/cheese101, her son Chris, and other Oregon-based Satch fans have logged more miles than me...even with fewer shows.
...Austin...

Distorted Soul: Rick, you & your friend might still get a chance. If some people don't show (no later than 6:40 P.M.), then those in the Conference Hall could move up. However, it is in sequential order. Hope you two get in. We could meet up, if you like. E-mail me or post back.
I am so excited for Monday night. OH YEAH!

Hey Joe!: I found out this St.Patty's day that I will have to have the front half of my right foot REMOVED. Not good folks. But, I look at it once I saw the bone scan on that Monday, I may loose a battle, but will win the WAR! Nothing like what Kayla's Mom is going thru. Bless you Girl and Mom too. I also noted your new JS model Ibanez guitar, The JS2400 WH with a single space humbucker in the fretboard position and a Mo'Joe Humbucker at the bridge. Great set-up. You now have plenty of room to hack at those upper order harmonics on this model. Your write up in guitarplayer mag was pretty good too. 10 ways to sound like.....you! A dead on article. Randell

Ibanezplyr: Randell, OMG! I can't believe it and I'm sorry to hear that. Prayers to ya dude! It's disappointing when a part of your body gets removed. I feel bad for those (mostly our soldiers) that went through amputation. Best to ya.
BTW, heard & saw on the news about the health care bill or reform whatchamacallit being passed. Even though I'm not into politics, I am a ittle concerned on what's going to happen next.
Tomorrow, the distance to seeing Joe at Sweetwater & back home, about 10-15 miles total.
Joe, looking forward for your visit to Sweetwater in Fort Wayne. Hope you remember me from this forum.
Grant

cheese101 - I forgot you had flown out to Ireland, that's right. So I think you win, at least among current posters here (something tells me Patricia still has you beat).
But don't you go including the extra mileage from your hotel in SoCal to Ventura and back. I did that driving, so if I count it on my list you can't be counting it on yours! ;-)

Peace Lily: Yes, this is my first time. I will be in the Performance Theatre inside Sweetwater seeing Joe live.
Distorted Soul: Rick, safe travels to ya. Keeping the fingers crossed that you might be able to move up from the Conference Hall and get inside the Performance Theatre with me.
Time for bed. Big day tomorrow. OH YEAH!
If I am able to talk/chat with Joe & the crew, I'm going to try to mention you guys' names and tell him you all said hi.

Randell, maybe once you get yer foot dealt with, you'll begin to feel better and have a better recovery. Best of luck to you.
GG2, hi 5, but I'm not really celebrating. Something had to be done with this health care. I just hope they get it right.
T-Bones, you have massive Joemiles! We could actually play "Where's Waldo" with you during a Satch tour. You could show up at any given venue any place in the world at any given time. lmao! Do you have a knit cap and red & white scarf? lol!

Glitzy - enjoy the instore, I sincerely hope you get the chance to go up to Joe and say hi (from me too!!!) I have tweeted him to nudge him that you'll be there - I am dying to see the pic of you and Joe :0) you're probably both the same build haha.
Randall - sounds awful but you seem to see it as a prevention measure for something else? Hope it goes well.
Peace Lily - I have about the same Joemiles as you, happy to rack them up with you if I could get over there by some sort of miracle, in fact would love to go with huge busload of T2Jer's one day.
Thanks for all the links everyone they've been great.

Randall, sorry to hear that, I hope surgery goes well and you recover very quickly and feel much better and can finally move forward.
Glitz, thanks for the "hi" from everyone, but it's okay if you forget....people tend to do that in the moment with Joe, lol!! Just have fun and enjoy majorly!!
Austin, hmmm....it's very true u did the driving from Anaheim to Ventura and back, but if we're going with that criteria, then none of us can count the miles spent flying to see Joe cuz we dint pilot the plane!!! Soooooo Patricia's miles wouldn't count either!! Or Roo's, or Alan's......hmmmm if we're going with traveled miles, then dude, they hafta count, LOL!! They can count for both of us. And I'd say hands down Patricia wins as the biggest traveler AND biggest Joe and Dream Theater fan :))
