yay!!! Trip was great!! It was fun flying, definietly a new experience! Plane was late so we got in late but get to explore tomorrow! It shall be fun! We are in birch bay, which is north of seattle about 2 hours and close to the border. You can actually see vancouver (or how ever it's spelled).

Kind of a slow Monday today. Not much happenin'. It's April. Whoopty-doo

By the way, has anybody gotten the Moving Pictures 30th Anniversary album???

i'm gettin' that later today. And my BSAWW tab book is coming in the mail today. (Not from amazon.com)

Yeah I cancelled my order for the BSAWW tab book on Amazon, I'm not waiting from May 13 to June 20 when I pre-ordered the thing 10 days before it was released.

I got it from Barnes and Noble, it ships today so hopefully it gets here in 1-3 days. Then I can finish my Premonition, and God is Crying videos.

The last Rush I bought was the dvd Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage. Great dvd for Rush fans!

Anybody have any "new" music to talk about? I got the Joe Bonamassa cd Dust Bowl and it's waaaay to country for me. I have a red-headed far away friend who might inherit that one. lol! I have Sixx A.M.'s This Is Gonna Hurt cd & book on pre-order. Lies Of The Beautiful People is the first single. Also just found this one - I dig it! Might buy that one this week.

Nothing new in music here really. I did stumble across a couple of nice Joe bootlegs. Listening to "The Traveler" from the Keswick Theater in PA (2004) as I type this.. Never enjoyed this tune so much! Also got Oriental Melody, Why, If I Could Fly and many others that I'd never heard before. I see what you're saying about Bonamassa's new album, Michelle. After all the hype I wrote up about it, I really only like one track: Black Lung Heartache.

I guess Black Country Communion's new album, "2", will be available for pre-order starting April 18th, with a release date "sometime in June".

T, I'm gonna send it to ya, and yer gonna love it or else! When I say it's to country for me, I mean you'll love it! lol!

AGGGHHH! Tooooo country!

Joe, Just wanted to thank you for being such a big inspiration to my life. Your music has been in my life ever since your 3rd album surfing...I love your new album Black Swans. Awesome new feel~ Been playing 12 years and practice your music everyday. Hope to see you live once again and hope all is well in your life. One Love

Smells like windmills....

Hey bartender, I'll have what they're having.

Hi Two Shay. I been busy with taxes and lookin' for work. All that fun stuff. Plus I've been reading RED.....Sammy has an interesting history. I like his cute baby pictures!

Hi Joe and Al and Tracie and Michelle and Pip and all the rest of Joe's fans here.

It's so quiet here! What's everyone been up to?

I'm two weeks into my new job. It's nice to be working on a "normal" 8-5 M-F schedule and being able to go to concerts without having to take a day off...haha.

Does anyone here know of Zoe Keating? I saw her open for Kaki King a few weeks ago and was blown away (it's always a nice surprise when an opener does that). She plays cello, with a lot of loops and delays to build up a song that she then solos over. It's really impressive to watch. Joe, if you're reading this, have you heard her? She's from San Francisco.

For something that more people here will probably know/like, I think the new Mr. Big album (What If...) is quite good. Check out the lead single here. It really reminds me of For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge-era Van Halen. But more importantly, it's Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan...come on!

Hiya GoGi, glad to see yer still kickin'! Good luck on yer job search. Lots of peeps reading RED. It'll be a while (if ever) till I read that. I have a stack of 10 books on my desk to get through, + as soon as Nikki Sixx's book gets here, I'm gonna start that. Right now I'm reading Maya Angelou at home, and Stephen Colbert at work. I need his hilarity to get me though the day.I just don't find Sammy that interesting. What's actually going on here anyway?

Austin, I'll check yer links tomorrow. All my peeps are sleeping now.

looks like Joe is making a signature Marshall head. And he says the 2400 is he favorite guitar. So does that mean I should save up an extra $200 and go for the JS2400 instead of the JS1200?

Hi back Millie, hope you find a job very soon, it's a scary time I'm sure!!

Well lookit that, Matt King is all growed hup now, gots hisself an iPhone and everything!! Woot! :)

Ha! Yeah, let's give Mc some new knives and see what he can whhhhip up in the kitchen besides fingertip stir fry.
