If you're reading this and aren't doing anything tonight, please check out some of the John Butler Trio webcast from Red Rocks in Colorado. The webcast starts at 9 and the show starts at 9:45 local time (that's 8 and 8:45 T2J time).

They're an excellent band...don't miss out.

I just realized I know the words to way to many Kool & The Gang songs.

JR, hiya....I hafta say, reading what Joe posted on all of this issue, I thought of you and wondered how you were feeling about it. Good to hear your views as well. I pray for a good resolution all the way around. I hope true wisdom prevails for you, your state, and all others that would follow suit. Stay well JR...and come to Cali or Nevada for a show, we'll keep ya company :) There's a whole pod of us crazy fans that end up at the same shows, much like back east. It's fun!

Skips, got yer mail, will respond either tonight or tomorrow :)

John Wooden dies at 99

Tracie, ... Sounds good...NV so close .. Not a huge fan of Vegas, .. but for Joe Satriani show, ...worth standing in snow in yer' socks. eh? So how many people saw JUNE Guitar Player where Joe won 'Best Rock Guitarist'? ..

Not my imagination Joe. I'm not much for good-better-best, too subjective. .. Joy is never subjective.

Cheese - moi?? A tease... nah! Some friends of ours from SF were telling me it's a definite summer thing. Rolls in in the morning, clears out during the day, then rolls out again at night.... and it's true to form ;-)

...and I'm still in another fog....

Oxley11 - I heard that thismorning I think (about the doughnuts). But I've been a good boy and left them alone lol

Do The Stu - prompted by food thoughts, Mrs Pip thanks my american freinds for their recommendation of burger joint. In & Out is a winner... I just need them to add a Chicken burger

Don1963 - it's also almost a year since Chad nearly decaptitated Sammy with a floor tom... rock & roll

NJBeast - I was just taking the mick... just a little joke with T (see above). I'll post a pic and you can see for yourself. It's quite creepy... just like something from a movie!

I would be thrilled if my State would be the next in line to pass a law similar to what Arizona has just done. I never leave my property without wallet (driver's license, military ID, etc.), but if there were a law here similar to what there will be next month in Arizona, or if I find myself traveling in Arizona, I would not be afraid to travel without any form of ID because I have something no illegal alien does; a social security number. I do not recall reading anywhere in SB 1070 that the verification of a person's status in the country has to be done by any certain form of ID. I certainly don't think it is good practice to go anywhere without any form of ID, regardless of any law. That's just 7 years of the military coming out of me, but there's no reason your SSN can't be used to verify you if you get caught without ID, which, according to the law, law enforcement must have reasonable suspicion that you are in the country illegally in the first place before they even try to verify your status... which they will have already asked for your ID because you have already committed some kind of crime for them to have come after you in the first place.

Anyway... I was glad to see that the Governor and the Pres. had their little meeting about the border issue.

Sorry if none of that made any sense.. I'm absolutely exhausted. I see all the red lines under my mistakes but I don't care to fix them, I need to go to bed!

Scubadaz: in the formula what units do you use because you would get different answers if you used km/h or m/h and lb's instead of kg. Also the total energy required is in what unit. Joules or KJ or something else.

Ahhhh JR, u just have to understand how devoted Chris and I are to seeing Joe, LOL! If it meant standing in snow in our socks well....I'd find a way, lol!! But yeah, other than that, we do spend hours and hours in line to get as close to the stage as we can or we won't see a thing with all the "tree people" that tend to be there :) I guess Vegas would be the closest for you....whenever I say Nevada I'm thinking Reno in my head. But we could do Vegas too or instead of Reno. A Joe-show is worth it's weight in gold as far as we're concerned...he's our BEST vacation, LOL! Hope to see you there one day!

What's the answer to your riddle? I'm technically and actually not awake yet, lol!!

Hi everyone.

Got done with running the Marathon. Time was 3 hours 11 minutes & 57 seconds. I missed qualifying by less than a minute. It was hot, the humidity was bad, and the hills weren't as bad as I thought. It went well through miles 1-20, but when I got to mile 22, that's when the sideaches came in, and I started having trouble breathing due to the humidity. Anyway, I'm glad I finished it and I'm keeping my chin up and movin' on; it's all good. There's plenty more marathons for me, in the future. Now it's time to head on back home and for some food/drink, and some Joe. Listening to ITLIS, Super Colossal, & PSATMOR on the whole trip.

Joe & T2Jers: Hope you all are doing well.

Tracie--You and your son have to best attitude about seeing Joe. If I left Steve at home, I could stand in line and stand up front forever and sway with everyone. Thing is....I can't leave Steve at home because he loves to see Joe and hear the great music and we love to be together as much as we can in this life. He just has moments of unconsciousness that require him to sit so he doesn't fall. He has fallen several times and scrapes up his elbows, knees, hands...sometimes his face is bleeding and sometimes I have had to take him to urgent care for stitches. Sigh! It's easy to decide on seeing Joe.......It ain't easy weighing medical bills, dental bills, etc. and figuring how to put everything else together. It just seems like Steve and I will be in the outer margins of the fans a lot of times. Not fun, but better than not bein' there at all. Unfortunately, disabilities sideline and isolate people living with 'em. :-(

GG2- I am sending good vibes to you and your hubby.....it's a shame he has to deal with this. Its obvious how much you adore him & want the best for him. Here's a link for you.... maybe the sunny images will lift your spirits

Wow ... this is it. Everything you can imagine is changing in me.... So many feelings has been borned in a past years... My life, never was so full ! Sometimes i wonder are this is real ? But yes, it's so real ! .... Your music is real, taking everything from me when im listening.... ..... A Cool New Way ! This is it ... a cool new way in my existence on Earth. Your artwork is best thing that happen right after my birth.... Seriously .... and i thank You for that.... Many people are can imagine what's happening when i play to them one of Your songs.... they opening eyes widely and telling me with happiness .... This is so amazing. This is their new cool way....

Thank You Joe ...

I was fifteenth of may 2008 at Manchester Apollo :)

Howdy peeps, hope your all having a great day... I know I am and send good vibes to you all. Pip feeling much better now

Hey, Tracie, ... I'l it post it again ..

Ok,.. quiz -- Who said "Our music is like licorice, ..some people like licorice and then some people love licorice .. we have lots and lots of licorice lovers"..

Always reminds me of Satch Music, devoted fans and lovers of 'licorice' .. Couple days, I'll post the answer. I would suspect many (not too many) would know this answer..

OO OO OOOOO!!!! *Raises hand, waits fer JR to call on me....*

Jerry Garcia from the Grateful Dead??? I's awake better now, LOL....izat right?

Millie, I dunno about our attitude about Joe-shows, all I know is...we just love him to pieces, love his music and are willing to stand in rain or heat fer hours and hours in the hopes of being able to see once we get inside, lol! In my book, you just gotta be as close as you can to enjoy, and you don't gotta be drunk to enjoy either. I can't quite fathom why so many peeps go to shows, get loaded in one way or another, and then won't remember a thing about it the next day. Makes NO sense to me. Plus they usually mess it up for those who are sober around them. Guess that's part of rock n roll, lol!

You and Steve could take lawn chairs to sit in, if you ever want to try a longer line-wait. You just hafta schlep the chairs back to your car before the doors open. We're gonna be doing that for the Tahoe Chickenfoot show for sure, and a cooler too...and a LOT more sunscreen!!
