while riding down the road the other day and jamming down with " surfing with the alien, hunger over came me....i drove thru the drive thru of macdonalds and purchased a happy meal....to my surprise the toy inside was the " silver surfer', I was shocked at the oddity of something like that happening. It looks exactly like the silver surfer on the album cover.

T-Bones, Wavey says thanks! Thanks for all the links too. We have to run to grab some Jager before the store closes. That Cabo Wobble ain't gonna cut it! Time to get my birthday swerve on! lol!

Here's one backatcha! Told the hubs about an hour ago that he already bought me something for my birthday, he just doesn't know it. He said what? I smiled real big and said tickets for Disturbed. lol! He's not gonna last through the first 2 acts. lol! He might wanna find some ear plugs that block out ALL the sound. lol! If I can sit through Jackson Browne for him & get so depressed I wanna jump off the feckin balcony, he can sit through this for me :-) lmao!!

Cheese - wow that's a lovely guitar, can't believe the seller didn't put a reserve on it, and I would have thought a specialist auction house would make sure he got a top price from a collector.

Goldengirl2 - thanks, it was awesome to be there

Skippy - thanks for the other messages

Ozzyfudd, there was a bug with posting that I fixed in the new version I posted today.

What happens when you try to post?

Apple's been taking about 7 to 10 days lately to approve new submissions, so you should have the update in just over a week.

I just bought a signed chickenfoot guitar off eBay! Excellent

Found a nice silver coin today. Here is my first dig video that I filmed with my IPod.

Wow... October 5th album release. That's about 6 weeks away, and for the most part things have been pretty quiet about it. I'm surprised there haven't been any wacky podcasts or anything more than the couple of video greetings from the studio that we've seen so far. There's not even a name for it yet (that we know of)! I'm just surprised there's not more momentum building is all, I guess. It's about time to start pre-orders, even...

In other news, I read the other day that Sammy Hagar is officially 100% out of the tequila business. He sold off his remaining 20% stake of Cabo Wabo for $12 million. That should add a nice bit to the $80 mil he got a few years ago for the first 80% of the company. I was really surprised to see that he gave it up, but the article said that was part of the original deal. I wonder if he'll start up another brand, or retire from that business?

Cube, I think I see in one of the pictures what you're talking about, the caps being shot, if you mean just underneath them...I dint notice that before you said anything :) The guitar is now up to $16,500 with 4 and a half hours to go. I'm watching it out of curiousity just to see how much it goes for, I'm not bidding. Is it still a good deal at that price?

Did you see the same seller has a 1938 Martin 0-17 acoustic plus original case for sale too? Right now it has a bid of $1050 on it with 8 hours to go. I know old doesn't always mean good, but whaddya think of that deal? Again, just curious, not in the market to buy.....

Okay, triple post from me, but Joe, is this right???

Amazon has new album up for presale

Interesting title, can't turn it into just letters that mean anything, lol!! And it does say Oct 5th release date....OOO we need sound samples!!! And there's no album art up yet, whatever could it look like!!

T, the title made yer mind race. It made mine come to a complete stop. lmao! He's gonna have to explain that title question a zillion times more than PSATMOR! Thanks for the lovely birthday wishes! When you called me Michelle I wasn't sure you were talking to me. lmao!!

A nice way to ease into the day

MIchelle - it's Chelle day today? Happy Birthday! Hope it's a great day

Cheese - Joe's bassist will be Allen Whitman - or it should be. Super nice guy... said my playing sounded great... er, ok then

Joe - that's an awesome title if that really is it. I'm thinking a typo though and it's "Black Swans & Wormhole Wizards" if so?

Michelle- Happy Birthday .....hope its a great day for you .

Cheese- Thanks for all the new Joe info .......

I do wish I was going to Tahoe myself but I don't think I can swing it.....hubby can not get away and I don't feel comfortable traveling by myself..most every body who would go with me has plans. I think I might join in on the all gals four wheeling trip planned for that weekend instead.

Pip55- Black Swan makes more sense to me after reading your wikipedia link>>>>>>>>>>

Identifying a black swan event

Based on the author's criteria:

1. The event is a surprise (to the observer). 2. The event has a major impact. 3. After the fact, the event is rationalized by hindsight, as if it had been expected.

Joe ..can we get a little info here......PLEASE? :-)

It's all space and time and right up Joseph street

I like Black Swans better too, at least I can wrap my brain around that, lol!! I guess all will be revealed in time...sigh....

Cube, the Gibson ended, winning bid was $19,500...izat good? The Martin has a coupla hours to go and there's not much activity on it.
