WOW I can't believe I am going to see Joe twice in 7 months. Once in Toronto of 2010, and now this coming July in Ottawa at BluesFest. Bought my husband surprise tickets for the concert and I can't wait to give them to him on his birthday in a couple of months. (If I can keep a secret that long) LOL Hopefully there will be an opportunity to get his Ibanez autographed this time around.

Thanks for coming to Ottawa Joe, you saved us older folk less driving.

Mikey, first I had Blaupunkt speakers, and they were awesome...until I blew 'em. lol! Then I got Sony Explode speakers, and they did the job very nicely! That being said, I do tend to say "what?" a lot these days. lol! I literally say to my boss "What? Sorry, to much Metallica" when I have to make her repeat herself. Protect yer ears kiddies! I work in a somewhat loud environment, so the background noise of the AC really drowns out a lot...except what I would like it to... lol! I say buy something smaller, and take all the good stuff out before you sell the biggin'! lol! You and Kay can both be happy :-)

As for Mangini...oh the cartoons that run through my head...Portnoy is known as "the camel" so... will Mangini spit or swallow? I'm just sayin'...

Cube, little Jack is beautiful! I'm so happy for you guys. The next few years will be the best! Enjoy every minute! Thanks for taking time to send me the pics.

Happy May!

michelle: The Blaupunkt speakers you had couldn't stand the test eh, lol, their Bark is less than their Bite ;-) Sony speakers are great, and in my Town Ace I have top-o-da-line Kenwoods, cept' I never got the amp for the rear speakers, lol.... I feel your pain on the slight deafness, and what a great saying to use: What? Sorry too much Metallica..I'm going to have to borrow that one please ;-) And thanks for the advice on the transpo..you and my wife think alike :-) I will gut the sound system before I let her go, and will have to give the original springs to the buyer as well, lol, I had it lowered so it would drive like a car and look smoof ;-)

Cube, I'm in the middle of an email, and I just apologized to my friends because I'm gonna be sending tons of pics of my new kitten. I get on here, and you're saying the same thing about your new son. lol! It's GREAT that you're one of "those dads". lol! Always be one of those dads! The pics of my kids when they were little (and even now) are some of my most important possessions. Just make sure to get them printed out or save them multiple places in case something happens to your computer.

mikey, great vid. He really gets going at around the 2:30 mark. Back in the day my best friends radio/tape player broke in her car. She used her kids Fisher Price tape player for music. lol! Tell ya what, if it ever got that desperate, I'd do the same. lmao!

Just watched the US President's speech. He always seems to be reasonable, says the right things and conveys the right sentiments.

It is about damn TIME they got the SOB that turned our country upside down!!!!! May he rote in HELL!!!!!

Damn good speech Mr.President.

Osama is dead, good riddance.

Osama Bin Laden has been found dead. Not only is this a huge moment for America, but for the entire world.

It's time to no longer live in fear and let our pride grow strong.

It's time for a brand new day to emerge from the darkness.

It's time for the lives lost to be avenged by their fellow comrades.

It's time for justice to be the hero of today.

It's time for a bright future.

A happy one.

Where hate and fear don't govern our lives.

When we can look into the big, blue horizon and know there's peace.

Where we can live in a world of hope.

Hi Everyone.

I hope everyone is well. Work, running, and learning some guitar has been keeping me busy. I have the next couple days off so I'm going to try to get some running in before my next big race. I'll be in Indianapolis this Friday & Saturday to run the Indy-Mini (Half-Marathon) on Saturday. It sells out every year (35,000 entries), and this will be my third time running this. I enjoy this run.

Just found out on the news that Osama Bin Laden is dead. That is good news to hear for the U.S. I praise the U.S. Troops for their bravery and hardwork. God Bless them all and the U.S.A.

To answer whoever asks about my running. I sometimes run with my MP3 player with headphones. It depends on how I feel. If I do a long run, like a two hour run, most of the time, I have my music. When it comes to the races that I do, I never have my music, because I focus on the run.

Joe: Great to see that blue. I see you're coming to my home state of Indiana, the day before your birthday. I'm going to try to see if I'm able to see you in Hammond. It was great seeing you at Sweetwater back in March of 2010. One of my friends, who is teaching me some guitar, is a fan and would like to come see you as well. You think you'll be able to do any autographs/signings or photo shots, and perhaps sign my JS100 (Limited Edition White)? It will be neat if you did; if not, that's cool.

Talk to you peeps later.

Sadaam, check

Bin Laden, check

im going to see simon mcbride tonight! For those of you who dont know, he is an awesome blues rock guitarist and songwriter.

And he supported Joe for the England part of the tour.

hi Joe you legend. When is the next G3 tour? also, when are you next coming to England. I loved your Newcastle show that i saw.

When i looked at some people pictures of the show, i realized that if i had got there half an hour earlier, i would have met you :-(. Excellent show though!

Also, what is the wise choice for someone like me who is young, and wants a really good guitar.

Save up for a JS1000 or 1200

Or buy a JS100?

I´d like to play the guitar like you.

You are awesome Satch!!

And I have a question....

wow - let's dance

Gettin my Satch on!!! WOOP WOOP!!

HEY JOE- how are you? Hope all is well with you and the family! What would you say your favorite place you have been is? Hope I can see you with Chickenfoot this tour :)

I have always wanted to go to Seattle, so I can mark that off the list! I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Italy, Ireland, and San Fran!
