spinsnit: Thanks, it's one of the best spots I've had for a concert, ever. I took all of those pics seated.

Glitz: Thanks! Continued success on your races. My times keep going down, I'm now consistently doing 8-minute miles without feeling like my chest is gonna explode. Soccer is helping a lot also :)

Cube: Maybe u are :) just kidding. Frankly I wouldn't want Petrucci to write listenable songs, same as I wouldn't want Joe writing 25 minute prog-metal epics.

hugsamuchilus - I spoke too soon the DVD was here when I got home, will give it a thrashing tonight after yoga.

Glitzy - I love your enthusiasm for the figure skating, I enjoy it too.

oh i see, high culture

update:
After disappointing results during the 2008/09 season he worked with a psychologist on the Canadian aerials team who introduced him to new techniques, including biofeedback. He started to analyse what he did during his training runs and in competition and noted the difference. The aim was to bring his relaxed training performances into line with some of his more nervous competition runs.

Joe:

Do the Stu, Elpp - Seems strange that they had toured together in the past. Petrucci and LaRue could not have seemed more distant during the G3 in Tokyo. Petrucci's solo stuff is fairly hard to find in a brick and mortar store. Can't even find it on Itunes.

I just ordered Bad Co's Dangerous Age off Amazon. That is one of my favorite Bad Company Cd's ever. I really liked Howe as their front man. Gave them a very different sound.

Part of an interview..............

Have you played Guitar Hero? I've heard some guitarists find it surprisingly difficult. Joe said........

I've stood at the end of the aisle at Best Buy and watched eight-year-old kids completely dominate the game, but I haven't played. A couple of my songs are featured on the games, so they've sent me the console. But I've never opened the box. I don't think it would be any fun for me -- there are only three or four buttons. Plus I seriously thought I'd mess up my head. One night onstage, I'd be looking for the green and yellow buttons and it would just be strings and frets and I'd be confused. Plus, I would think it would be a humbling experience to know an eight-year-old could kick your butt on your own songs.

I feel like it's already happened, just watching it in the store

Takfarinas, Thank you for asking about my mom. I just got word that she's going home from the hospital today. Her health has improved, but she's still not well, and she's pretty weak from doing nothing for a few weeks. Hopefully she'll gain more strength each day. She's a tough ol' bird, and she has so many good vibes and prayers from around the world to keep her strong thanks to all the lovely peeps here on T2J. I still can't visit her because I have a bad cold. I have to stay away until I'm well, which is really bumming me out, but it's for her safety.

She's going to be in for a shock when she see's how much snow we had. lol! She hasn't been out since the last 22 inch snow we had last Wednesday. lol! That snow fell on top of the previous 16 inches. Thatsalottasnow!!!

Is lobster vegan ,Joe?
