Hiya Austin, how you doing?

Tracy! Thanks :) I am indeed engaged to an amazing woman.

Now...last night was probably one of the coolest dinners I've ever had. Had dinner with Austin Lewis, Evan Brown, and of course my fiancé and her friend. One thing I have to say...there is no better fan community than Joe's. We had an awesome time talking guitar, satch, and even got to catch up on our own lives.

Satriani's humbleness and kindness to his fans absolutely runs down into the way the fans treat each other. I've never had a bad experience with this community and I'm just glad that 13 years later its still in tact.

Matt, it was a life-changing experience! Then again, so was listening to Surfing back in the '80s!!!!! Satch is a great inspiration as a musician and as a human being.

EvBro, wasn't he from Philly? Man, all you kids are all grown up now. lol! Any pictures of the event...besides what Austin had for dinner? lol! Sounds like a great time!

David, for me it was Crystal Planet in 98'. Changed my life :) that record alone pushed me to believe I could actually do this guitar thing. Haha

Chelle, Evan sure was from Philly. We're damn near 30...

"Time flies" tears for fears- head over heels ;)

Wow! The first wave of youngin's are 30!

I just happened to see this vid come across my twitter feed, and it left me speechless and feeling sick. Please keep the victims of Hurricane Sandy in your thoughts and prayers. This is Staten Island.

Unbelievable.

chelle...that is just horrifying....so many destroyed homes....and very admirable on those dudes to spend that money on clothing to give back...thanks for sharing that

oh...i'm on chat by the way! haven't used this in forever but i'll hover around to see if any of you are lurking and wanna chat a bit!

MJK, the half a house, flood line on the wall, the guys photos, and his dog - those things have been in my head all day. Unimaginable horror and trauma. God bless everyone affected, and everyone who's helped and said prayers.

Veteran's Day/Remembrance Day - God Bless those who serve to protect us!

The Wayback Machine. That's what Joe's page used to look like. Click on "comments" to see the Time Machine background - and see if you can find a post from Joe's sister Marian :-) LOL!

Something between Beck & Satch.

Hi from Paris: I'm Cecilia and unbelievably just learned about Joe's music recently after a 'big awakening'. Started the guitar last May as a consequence - first instrument ever. Saw the G3 tour in France this past summer and loved it. Of course, will be at the Paris show in June 2013.

The best thing I feel from his music is...freedom and expansion into the unknown. What about you?

Interesting mix, Joe in tartan
