Hi Joe,
And Hi everybody !
I live in France, and excuse me for my english ... I know it's awful.
I think to the technicians of the Fukushima's nuclear plant.
I make the same job ...
Their job is very difficult at this time, and probably some of them have lost someone during the Tsunami.
Joe has reason : we can help them !!

Thanks Scub, it's taking me some time to get used to the floating trem as I've never had the privilege of owning a guitar equipped with one before. The previous owner's first warning to me was "don't take all of the strings off at once, or you'll wish you didn't". But, the fretboard had obviously not been cleaned in a few years and it was driving me nuts, so it took off all the strings. It looks like a totally different guitar now; I went ahead and took the trem out too and cleaned the old dust collected on the lube off of it while I was at it.
Fortunately there are a lot of good resources on the net on the Floyd-style bridges, and I got it all back together... Only took me a couple days!!
Tracie- Happy belated! I wasn't on yesterday to catch it. My Mother's birthday is today, I'm not exactly sure of her age though.. OOPS!

Hey Stoopid
:) Joe shows up at 3:15 on the vid....you still have that leather jacket, right Joe?
I saw that Joe is going to be on a radio broadcast tomorrow morning at 9:15 I think it was to talk about the Jason Becker concert this Saturday...it had a link to listen online....I think I saw it on facebook but now can't find it, damnabbit...I'll keep looking...
Pip, we're both excited, it's always great to get out of town now and then and go do something fun, especially when it includes Joe :) So we're equal on that I think...Chris also wants to visit a vinyl record store on Market St while we're there, so I'm sure we'll pop in and find some treasures. He's especially looking for old blues and jazz records.
Edit: Ahhh, there it is, from Guitar Player Magazine:

The book signing yesterday went really smoothly...I got there earlier than I probably needed to, but I got my autograph and was outside fifteen minutes after it started.
Aaand I was one of the winners for Sammy's Twitter shirt/poster contest, with this picture. I love the contest shirt ("I RED the book")...I think it's hilarious, but I'm a bit weird.
cheese101 - It doesn't look like I'll be able to make it to the Slim's show. Will this be your first show at Slim's? I hope you have a great time...please say hello to the pole for me (you'll know it when you see it).
Pip55 - "that's not the kind of journalism we'd get from Austin fo sure "
Haha...thanks. ;-)
Listening to: Dredg - El Cielo (current song: Of The Room)

Yes Austin, it's our first Slim's show....pole? Pole? Hmmmm....got any hints or tips as to where we should head once we get in? From what I've gathered, it's GA seating....so there's no GA standing near the stage, would that be right?? Sigh....not sure what time we'll be in line...wonder if the crowd gets big outside long before the show...

cheese101 - I've only been to Slim's once...I saw the Dixie Dregs there with MegaBoyd back in 2003 and had a great time. That show was GA standing.
I just looked at the Slim's website, and on the ticketing page it says "seating limited"...I wonder if that means it's limited in the same way it is at the Fillmore (primarily a GA venue with seating at the back/sides).
My guess would be today Slim's is still GA standing in front of the stage with limited seating elsewhere. People who want to guarantee a seat will need to buy a dinner ticket. Otherwise tables are on a first-come basis. I know I haven't been there in a while but I don't see how they could pull off a fully seated show...that wouldn't work unless they've undergone a recent renovation, as the venue is basically a large bar that holds maybe 500 people.
Have you tried calling them? I see contact info here. That page also has some info that seems to back up the GA standing format.
As far as the line goes, the venue is smaller/less popular than the Fillmore/Warfield so I don't think you need to be there before noon like we've done for those shows in the past. But the stage is smaller and not as high off the ground, so you will need to be there early enough so you and Chris can see. If I were you I'd plan on stopping by between noon and 2 to check things out. There probably won't be a line yet, which means you could get a late lunch somewhere nearby and still be at the front.
Sorry for writing a novel, but hey...you asked! ;-)
...Austin...

Well we found out the line up for the 4-day Live Loud n Local music festival we are playing at the end of April. We are playing the first day with all local groups. Bummed we don't get to play with the big bands (In This Moment, Sister Sin, and Straight Line Stitch) But since it will be only our 4th gig I'm pretty happy. If any of the peeps in or around Portland need tix let me know. 4 days of bands for 12 bucks is a great price. BTW Happy belated Cheese.

Joe, Retired Navy air traffic controller here. In the high desert of Nevada, Goldfield to be exact. Would you or have you ever considered a small benefit concert. Our annual Goldfield days happens the 3rd weekend of August each year. If it helps, it's about halway between Vegas and Reno on highway 95. We can put you up for a night or two and feed you. Many veterans in the area and all very familiar with your works and talent. Just thought I'd ask... Please keep the fires burning and making me happy with your music. Dave B
PS Tried to make Slim's in SF, but they were sold out...

roxyone, the tab book for BSAWW is coming out on March 30th here in the states. I found a link at amazon.com to pre-order it, I bet you can order it there also :)
I like what Joe said about Jason Becker this morning. He is indeed a special young man. Looking forward to the entire benefit show and some great guitar playing...I hope Jason is able to make it.
Thanks Austin, for the info...we'll try to get in line early then, but hafta hit that vinyl record store first plus we're driving down that morning. Guess we'll leave at 6 am. I see a loooooooong weekend ahead =|

Scubz, tag yer it! lol....
Thanks for the birthday wishes civ, and good luck with all that you're doing with your band, sounds like things are really going well...keep it up!
Peace, thanks :) Always have fingers crossed on our road trips...sometimes some of the streets we end up walking on in San Fran feel more scary than the drive there!! Our hotel is about 3/4 of a mile from Slims, walking there in the daylight, pfttt, no prob....walking back at prolly midnight or later....oooooooooo!!!!
