Jamz27 ~ that really blows! Is there anyone older you can go with? Maybe if your with someone older they'll let you in. Hell, get somebody in line to say they're your uncle or something. I don't know how that particular venue is run, but they might not be to strict? Then again...call the place & see what the rules are. Is it absolutely no one under 21 no matter what the circumstance?

Dave, they have alot of beautiful Celtic designs if your looking for something like that. Leave your options open and you'll be amazed with all the cool stuff you can find. Tell the guy what you have in mind. Say something like "I want something Irish!" LOL! My last tat was a gold Celtic braid with a big green jewel in it (I'm Irish too). If your getting it on your arm, it's no sweat. Chest, back, leg...that'll put a hurtin' on ya. If you don't find anything you want to spend the rest of your life with, go home. Buy some mags & see if you can get an idea for something you like out of one of them. Good luck :)

Jamz27, I know for a fact that Joe & the band don't like playing 21 and over shows. Here are Joe's words from a conversation we had on T2J. I think it was March '00 or 01 - "....yeah. "all ages" venues are the way to go...the band likes it better that way too!...once again i will stress it to our agent and promoters..." This must be out of his hands. I'm sure he hates it as much as the rest of us, but what's done is done. That doesn't necessarily mean that you won't be able to get in.

JOE, CAN YOU HELP THE KID OUT?? HE ALREADY BOUGHT THE TICKETS!

As much as this isn't right, it really goes to show that the under 21 folks really need to check the fine print before they buy tickets. ASK before you buy. Man, $80 bucks is alot of money to throw down the tubes. If all else fails, maybe you can sell them (although thats illegal I think), but $80 bucks is $80 bucks!

Jaymz27, I totally agree. TM SHOULD tell every ticket buyer that the gig is 21 & over. It's like they're saying "yeah, we'll take your money...sucker! " Like stealing candy from a baby for a corporation as big as they are. They should be ashamed of how they practice buisness, but it's all about the almighty dollar. It sucks.

PhryDom, it IS like having red hot needles dragged over your skin again & again! lmao!!! Gives you that warm fuzzy feeling, don't it? LOL!

2 Ton, you didn't know??

Christyleena, Joe has a way of somehow reaching down into your soul and pulling up a rainbow. Glad you found something that helps.

Dave, I was thinking it was going to have to be a pretty big shamrock to go on your arm. You could actually get a Celtic braid to make your new tat a bracelet type thing (if that doesn't sound to wierd). I told you the arms weren't to bad. LOL!

elpp, I was thinking the same thing (except the "see you Wedenesday" part) LOL!

Stu Hacking, being a good tattooist doesn't depend on what sex you are, but if a woman makes you feel more comfy, then go with that.

Ya Yo, sorry to hear you got snagged. Those security punks can get pretty nasty. I had one take my disposable AFTER I snapped about 20 pics of Joe & the band with it back in 2000. He said "gimme da camera er I'm gunna toss ya out!" I handed him the camera and yelled in his face "YOU SUCK!" I was so upset I didn't even hear the next two songs. I went after him after the show asking him for my camera back. He said he didn't want to take it because it's more paperwork for him. I told him if he would't have taken it he wouldn't have any f'in paperwork and again asked him to give it back. Then another musclehead came over & asked me to leave. I had a GREAT time in spite of that guy, and met Joe outside after the show too :) The reason I was SO mad was because I was in the second row, and there were at least 20 ppl. hanging their (real) cameras over the fence in the front row, but he took my disposable. I'm sooo sure he didn't throw it away. It all worked out anyway because my friend Mary G. snapped off a whole roll! lol! Sorry you didn't have a good time.

ha! Anibur, you beat me to it! I was going to post that same clip. LOL! Less girls at the shows mean shorter bathroom lines for us!! LOL!!

Jon, thanks for the interview. Nice to read Joe's thoughts on Rubina & ZZ. Behind every great man is an even greater woman!! lol! As for the hair comment ~ like my husband says ~ grass doesn't grow on a busy street! There's also a great drummer in my head, but I lack 90% coordination a real drummer has. LOL!!

Good stuff!

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday ...or sundae, which ever you prefer :)

Whojackafibby, if you folks agree to duct tape your heads, can we see some pictures of that? LMAO! ha! I can see the media using those pictures as eveidence as to why there aren't many women at Joe's shows... to much hair. Maybe the girls could just wrap aluminum foil around a wire hanger and use it for a halo/antennae type indentification as a T2J member. The hanger can be taped to your forehead...just so you fit in. Hey! The tape can also double as a name tag!! Having your name written in black marker across duct tape on your forehead will surely get you noticed! I say you folks should go for it!! LOL!!

Wow, I'm listening to Joe play AWM,AWY live ~ I got goosebumps & tears in my eyes. Man, I love that song!

JON, extremely cool pictures from the Concord! Those are the kind of pics that should have been in the SBM cover, not blur, blur, & hey, how about more blur! LOL! What kind of camera do you use? Tell Jeff his baby girl is beautiful!

JOE, did you steal that jacket out of Steve's closet?

Benny, man that was hilarious!! Let me say... that was a wicket top 10! lol! I understood every one of them, so I guess I'm a frequent flyer.

GUTTERbOY, great song!

Jon/Joe, in the SBM rehersal pictures - pic #9 - there's a second smaller set of drums. Are they Joe's drums, and what does he use them for? Thanks for the great pics!!

I'm feeling old today. Today is the day my husband and I got together 20 years ago! 20 years!! Man, how time flies! In Nov. we'll be married for 15 yrs. and tomorrow is his 40th birthday. We have the next two days off to celebrate our birthdays, so that's pretty cool. Mine is the 15th. Man, I just can't believe how time flies...and how good this wine is....

Dave Williams, lead singer of Drowning Pool, was found dead on the band's tour bus Wednesday afternoon (August 14), according to a spokesperson for the group. He was 30 years old.

A cause of death has yet to be determined.

The Dallas quartet was on tour with Ozzfest when Williams' body was discovered. Ozzfest had played the Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana, on Tuesday.

Wednesday was an off day for the tour. Thursday's Ozzfest at the Nissan Pavilion in Bristow, Virginia, will go on as scheduled, according to a manager for the outing. Bolstered by the hit single "Bodies," Drowning Pool's debut album, Sinner, has sold over 1.2 million copies to date since its release last June, according to SoundScan.

Hey, it's my birthday! 38 feels just like 37 ~ whoda thunk it? BUT... the cake always tastes much better when it has your name on it :)

Thanks to everybody for the birthday wishes!

JS Clone 1, I'm not one to be all poo-poo over telling my age. Hell, I'm happy I made it this far! lol! I'm 38. ha! I still have to shake my head when I say it. Wow! 38 already? Time flies when your having fun.

punkdude, no, it's not to late. It still makes me smile when I read good wishes from my friends :)

JBlaze, ha! Those MD crabcakes came from the Gulf of Sewage! YUK! I should have asked where they got their crabs from...and what year! lol! Maybe they WERE made from the "other" kind of crabs! (that's so gross!) LOL! The meal I had yesterday was good! lol! Good ol' Pennsylvania crab cakes! LOL! Honestly, it was just a bad batch down in MD. My husbands crab legs were good (so he says), but whatever funk they were feeding me was rank! LOL! I'm scarred for life! lol!

Sharon, yes ~ crabs are something none of us want to get! Crab cakes, however, yes - I'll have 2! LOL!

elpp, DT is a fantastic live band! I can't wait to see them again!

buyty Jon, Ik can';t tyupe wikth my dfingersd crtoasaserd!!

I'm having a hard time with the webcast too. I'm going to set the thingy down to 28 and see what happens.

punkdude, I thought it was Francis? lol! j/k I have no idea, but with a good solid name like Joe (Joseph?) his middle name could very well be Amazing! lol!

Is anybody watching the X-Games? These cats are crazy! These motorbike jumps are awesome! Freestyle MotoX = No Fear! JOE, ARE YOU WATCHING ANY OF THIS? My son is a skateboarder and he loves this stuff. Is ZZ interested in these kinds of sports? (watching or doing?)

anibur ~ thanks :-)

Whojapippy, since it was my hubby's b-day the day before mine (his 40th) He got the better deal. He got a Honda Shadow Ace 750. I got tired of him staring at pics online & I couldn't stand the drool puddle in front of his computer anymore, so I let him loose to get one. It's a '98, but it's a beautiful bike. I got a few c.d.'s and a nice expensive dinner :) No complaints here!

Now, I raise my glass of wine to Dave the NON-SMOKER for 5 weeks without smoking!!!! WooHoo!!! Keep it up!!

Ya know, I'm amazed at how low some bottomfeeders will actually go. Hopefully this idiot will brag to everyone he knows and somebody will beat the snot out of him and get it back to Joe. This is the definition of a punk-ass bitch!
