Skippy, to answer yer other question, it's a crap shoot in San Fran for weather in Dec/Jan....when we were all there in November 2008 it actually got sunny and warm, which Joe said was pretty unusual...we bring him the sun, LOL!

So if I had to guess, I'd say be prepared for rain and fog in San Fran, and for cold and possibly snow in Reno....but don't ferget yer shorts in case it's sunny, LOL!!

Chelle, I can help u sell that kidney u know.....or we could pick up bottles and cans on the side of the road....or u could make friends with a travel agent and get stupendous deals on airfare....or u could go to work for an airline and get free flights. U can share our hotel room and be our "buddies" whilst here....or we can sell Mc to the highest bidder....I got lots ov idears on how to get you and Wavey here :)) No need for Boog to give up schoolin', there's always a way!

I've have something for everybody to participate in. If they would like. I need votes.

So recently I've been hearing that Joe is more badass than Chuck Norris. ??? I want to know what you guys think. I think it could be true, except more people know Chuck Norris because he is an actor and Joe is a musician which already narrows it down. So if everybody we asked knew both of them we would get a close tie.

Pick your side:

Chuck Norris in Walker Texas Ranger

ibanezguitars- Bless you for admitting that you like the LIP DVD ! Hope Joe does a Barcelona show for you so you can see him. :-)

Oxley- I like your contest ...I vote Joe..... ....lol....

Hey Conor - see I saved those mid stalls jsut for YOU.....

Michelle, Yes I have them pretty often lately, need to check out my lifestyle, OR Workstyle , no less...;-((

BTW, I have tried honey on my breakfast everyday since about Feb, and my hayfever is nearly non-existent, so try that next year. You have to remember it every day, so that's why I choose to have it on my Weetabix.....yummy....I wonder if Steve Vai could send some over to ya?

Zincmaster..oh boy I needed cheering up - cheers to you........

michelle - Thanks for the link to the Dave Weiner presale. The album ships on my birthday...what a nice gift for myself! :-)

No one is more badass than Chuck Norris. Even I know that one.

Evenin all - wassup?

I must back pedal through some pages.....

I wanted to point out that I have the Bombastic Meatbats CD. I remember posting the link to their myspace page and Michelle said how much she liked the word Meatbats! I really haven't given it a proper listen. Other than a few 'here and there' listens, I don't think I've played much but Joe and CF for... hell probably a couple years. I mean occasionally I get in the mood for Journey, Rush, Bonamassa, or something different. I have 999hrs worth of music on my computer, maybe I should check some of it out sometime..

What is this talk of Reno?? Are you guys assuming that Joe will play there again or did I miss something? I'd better start saving my pennies. Maybe someday I will find a job, that will make it much easier to see a concert. I've got tickets to see Dave Matthews here in Boise in August. Fortunately I paid for those before my last paycheck came!

Listening to: Live in Anaheim - Psycho Monkey

turboIan, that's right! Hi 5!

Austin, sweet!! Even sweeter if you would get it on yer birthday :-)

My headache has arrived. Let's see how many days it stays :-/ I just wish I could find something to relieve the pain, but nothing otc seems to work. Feckin sinuses!

Anyways...party on Wayne!

Al, I'll give it a listen in a bit.

Cheese - yes, consider me there. Mrs was pre-warned (at the end of 2008 lol) that it would happen so as long as there's no spanners. Oh, and that's so cool of you to offer to help. I'll shout if I need to but won't hassle

"You go Mr Ho"... yes, your finest poetry just for me there. Im not a ho, just a Satchaholic

Michelle - you joining the T2J tour? lol. Party on garth

Cube - whatever you've been having done doesn't sound pleasant. Wish you a speedy recovery, hope it's not too much of a downer

Glitzman - hi, some great results there. Keep it up

Jessekennemmer - happy birthday!

Hybes - this is what's up with Chad

Satriella - congrats.... you're bouncing

Gstew - congrats on your tickets an hi!

Anibur - no passwords, but if you go to the ticket sites (before Friday 9am) and search for Joe tickets the tour doesn't exist. Congrats on you ticks

njbeast - congrats - on both the ticks & the DVD inlay

Peace lilly - will you be oing a Joe show this time round?

Blue Moon - hey, an in store doesn't count as a gig! So you only tie with Do The Stu surely? Will you be U.S-ing it? Mmmm, nice new tune, very pro sound. Using the CAL?

Do The Stu - I think you tied Al for PSATMOR performances really. T must have been close behind? Be cool if another group gathering comes off

Skippygirl - be great to see you there! Just bring a coat right!? (wuss) : )

Cheese - am keen to think about coming over....hard part is to negotiate a trip to a winter climate in our summer....the WTF! response prolly haha.

Austin - I have the Meatbats CD it's great, love putting it on for some funky music whilst cooking. Was a nice surprise that it came with a Tshirt and signed photo.

Congrats to all the peeps who secured tickets to see Joe pls come back with vids and pics ta.

Happy Friday!

10,704... is that all? Think I have that beat : )

Damn Mc I LOVE yer new tune! Great job, and love the wah in it especially :) Carry on! Maybe by the time you come over in Dec/Jan for the US tour you'll have another demo together and can slide one to Joseph :) And me....and Joanie....and chelle...and....u get the picture, bring lots :) Already signed ov corse.

Pip, no worries, if I can help just let me know...not sure what yer planning or need with regards to how we handled it before, but I'm assuming there might be the same issues if you go for it....so hollah as needed! We sooo shud all stay at the same hotel too and TAKE OVAH!!

Skippy, start saving those pennies girl! It's a blast this side of the world, especially when u can have some Joe-shows thrown in :) U know, I just got an email a coupla days ago, round trip airfare from here to Australia was under $700!! Only trick was, we'da hafta traveled by end of June I think. Since I wanna coordinate a trip that far away with a Joe-tour, guess that just won't work...unless Joe wants to quick throw a tour together fer next month :D

OH, and as for coming over here in the winter from your summer, PISH!! It's JOE!!! And San Fran is a fantastic city to explore....besides, everyone needs a good foggy day once in a while. Or sunny. Or rainy. Take yer pick, it's SF, LOL!

I just hope when he does decide to tour Oz that he can give us as much advance warning as the UK tour in October...easier to make travel plans that far in advance!

Did someone mention a party? Count me IN!
