Blue Moon - it's complicated mate but yes that's the idea... I just should have been there today and I'm pretty pi**ed about it but hey ho!

I'm off to Napa! It's weird to think I'll be leaving there by about this time tomorrow...I'll only be spending about 16 hours total in the city, and half that time will be spent sleeping. ;-)

I'll be back with plenty of pictures and maybe a YouTube video or three.

As I'm reading today's posts, I have God Is Crying playing in my head. I love how that song kicks ass! I think I've listened to this cd around 30 to 40x already. I play it at home, in my car, and over the weekend at work on my mp3 player. lol! I had it playing in the car last night, and my hubs asked if it was an old Joe cd or the new one. LOL! He said I've played it so much it's already familiar to him and he wasn't sure. lol!

It's Napa day! Have fun peeps and give Joe some lovin' for all of us!

Gotta go to Best Buy today and pick up the cd with bonus tracks. Last time I went to BB for a cd (Sully Erna - Avalon) on release day it was ridiculous. I searched everywhere, new releases, under E, and even under S for Sully & G for Godsmack - it was nowhere. I asked TWO different employees if someone worked in that department and could help me. They both called for "the guy". After another 10 minutes or so, I see this schlep walking towards me like he had nothing to do and nowhere to go. I was like...you gotta be effin kidding me! After looking where I already looked, and checking the computer to confirm they had it, he told me it wasn't out yet, and he'd have to go get it. He walked away in slo-mo, and eventually came back in slo-mo...with ONE cd in his hand. Don't effin strain yerself dude! By the time he came back to me, I wanted to take the cd out of his hand and frickin beat him with it. LOL! It took over a half hour to buy one cd ferchristsake! If I go there today, and Joe's cd isn't on the shelf on it's 2nd day of release, I really hope that same guy doesn't show up, cause mama ain't gonna be so nice this time.

Chelle, I'm with ya...although the Best Buy peeps in Redding were all very nice and polite, they dint have a CLUE about Joe's new CD...I kinda feel sorry for that guy if he IS the one workin there today, LOL!!

GET 'IM!! lol!

Off to the Jelly Belly factory tour in a couple...can't get wifi in the room at all and the lobby puter sux lemons, takes forever...but...

I kinda expected some blue text yesterday, since it's the release date, but I guess Joe is busy with the tour.

working on God is Crying right now, this song is tied with Pyrrhic Victoria for my fave. followed by premonition, dream song and wormhole wizards. But I still love the rest.

maybe its just because its new, but I think this is my favorite album.

Cheese - that's really sweet T! You guys are gonna have a rockin great time, time for me to do the vicarious thing hey.

I called the Best Buy here in Salem yesterday morning and asked them if they had the new CD and the guy on the phone was very familiar with Joe and BSAWW. I'm sure I got a rare one, but it's nice to know that at least one Best Buy is pushing the new CD.

That being said; I don't know that a Best Buy exclusive release is the best for business after seeing the way they handle things, but I am glad to see that Joe or CF aren't doing Wal Mart exclusives like so many artists are now days. I hope they never do, either!

Have fun in Napa Austin, Tracie and Peace (your first Joe!!)! If they play DWCAE I will never forgive myself for not going. From the looks of the interview, it sounds like you guys will get less of the new album and more of the older stuff, so you should be in for a real treat if they have shaken up the set list like they say they have. I'd have given my good leg to have been a fly on the wall during rehearsals!

I'm pleased (?) to report that Chrispie is currently in a jelly-belly coma, but should be coming out of it just in time for the show tonight :)))

They really do have some freakish flavors there, stuff I'd never wanna try no matter how much you paid me...centipede, boogers, baby wipes to name a few...YUCK!!

K...peeps are arriving from all over and wandering around, Brian and Debbie are here and said Joe was at the venue already. He shows up so EARLY!! Chad should take lessons, LOL!!

The bonus songs are available on Napster

It was hell trying to get my cd!!! haha.. called the best buy here in town they didnt have it.. So called the one in spokane and he said they had it but he had to go dig it out, so 10 mins later he got it (I was on hold on the phone) he said he got it, went to the store to get it and he asked what i was there for and I said Joe Satriani, hadnt even gotten into the title he was like ooohhh yeah its you... I would never be able to pronounce that name, so i sat there for 5 mins telling him all about Joe! lol

Monday and Tuesday were very full days--Library work, errands and shopping for food. Tuesday--Meet up with my sister, her hubby and niece and nephew at US army, navy, marines, air force, coast guard, etc. field building where my nephew signed up to commit himself to the navy after he graduates from high school in about 9 months. My nephew is goin' into the US Navy......What a big decision! But then he doesn't want to be stuck in the sleepy city of Merced, California. He wants to lend himself to the Navy so he can get a college/University education and travel....maybe go to a University outside the US and learn how the rest of the world works! I'm proud of him making such a commitment. I thought about it when I was 20 and never did. His 7-year-old sister says, "My brother is almost a grownup." I'll miss him when he goes away." Then she goes back to her fairy tale book and the present. Wish I could be as care-free as my niece. Sigh!

A. McKenna--Thank you for the kitten getting a free ride on a tortoise vid. The turtle-oise seemed to suspect he/she had put on weight rather abruptly. Awwwwwww........so cute and innocent. I needs to see more of those kind of vids. I love the kitties......they are soooo sweetie! The tortoise is an interesting animal.....especially the American desert tortoise with his handsome armour, like a tank! So many interesting animals and bugs on earth. My favorite bug is the ant lion--a larvae creature who digs a funnel shaped pit to trap ants.

Joseph--I am humbled by your huge musical creativity. Yesterday afternoon BSAWW CD arrived at my doorstep in the middle of insanity in our back yard that had Steve angry at our neighbor/his tree trimmers and me in tears! Why do people assume they have permission to land/walk around (with garden tools and ladders no less) in our backyard BEFORE knocking at our front door and obtaining our permission!? Shite! Where was I? That was yesterday! Anyway, we listened to the CD last night and Steve wondered if we were going to hear/see all of the songs performed in Oakland on January 13, 2011. I told him we are. He really likes Pyrrhic Victoria and so do I along with every other song. Solitude is a sweet solo. I love Littleworth Lane and the way it translated memories--beautiful! Wow! Golden Room and TSTES are so amazing and different sound statements. I love the jazz as well as rock n roll. God is Crying is a way of reaching out and grabbing me and saying......"Just Listen and you will understand."

All of those in Napa--Have fun and enjoy time with Joe!

Pippy, have you seen that woman's pawahs? Massive I tells ya! She even has cack pawah! Ask her about it sometime! lol! Really sorry things didn't work out. Sending all my good vibes to ya tonight.

Good times with GS!
