What happened in Seattle peeps?????????????? Come on give us a report somebody.

burly, lorenzo001 - thanks guys, appreciate the tips - I take the Berocca soluble in water so that provided some hydration and I also take liquid chlorophyll in the mornings with water so I felt just dandy today, I don't need to say I'm never drinking again like some.....

Iggy - I will watch your vid later tonite THANKS I am sure it will help with my attempt!

Will check YT in a coupla hours for and vision of Seattle - they better hanve bloody waved.

edit: this from Twitter "Exceeded fire code with 840 peeps and Seattle fire dept trying 2 shut show down -- no one is leaving -- Chickenfoot baby!! "

?? wow sounds exciting

and this one: "Holy MOFO Effin Gods of ROCK...CHICKENFOOT was insane! Long live Sammy, Joe, Michael & Chad! Run, don't walk to buy this record! PEACE! "

Part of a post from "CaboWabo5150" on Sammy Hagar's message board:

I will say that they played the entire album plus an encore of Bad Motor Scooter and Highway Star.

Pics and details to come...

I can say the first chickenfoot show was SO AWESOME!!

Joe, thanks so much for signing my JS1200! That really meant a lot to me, been wanting one of your guitars since I was a kid. Got one last year and now it's signed! So cool! Too bad I couldn't be there to meet you, good thing my dad had it covered :)

Great show!

Iggy - watched linky, well, right, you're just a big smartypants aren't you? Bet you just learnt Ten Words in an afternoon huh? And then your Dad turns out to be a bass player, jaysus! And you don't even have to look at the fretboard either!!!!!! Just an all round talented guy you are :0)

Sheesh I hope I can play it like that soon....

Chickenfoot Seattle pics here linky - Austin pic 10 is a shot of the setlist including encore songs and extra songs.

Another update from your overnight news reporter, Skippygirl. Thank you caller.

burly - 'MORNING burly have a ripper day in the fields, it's the weekend here - yeah!

Cappy Steve - well....cobber has faded out of the Aussie vernacular pretty much, whereas "mate" has become gender-neutral so I would say mate for either male or female.

For example, I went out with my mates last night, who are all female.

However to address me, you could use "gorgeous rock chick guitar shredder".

Skipper- GRCGS for short? Enjoy the weekend mate, and thank you for that picture linky of the 1st Chickenfoot gig.

Roy- No chance of Mikey playin' that monster but I have seen his have the same look on his face while ripping the giant bottle of Jack Daniels to shreds.

Enjoy your day and the weekend everyone and congrats to those who were able to see Chickenfoot in Seattle.

Skippy:Go on then gorgeous geez us all a piccy :)

Burly:Absolutely a highly underated bassist is Mickey jack or no jack he sits with a kit like glue

Skippy, job well done! Yer hired!

So if we're getting the full album and bonus track plus a two-song encore, that's probably about a 90-minute show time...right? Can anyone who was there confirm? I think I prefer this to fewer Chickenfoot songs and covers from everyone else thrown in the mix... Can't wait for SF (and LA)!

HEY EVERYONE!!!

I hope all of you are staying out of mischief. I've been on the run for the past couple of weeks now, especially running season. I have my next points race this Saturday: The Warbird Road Race (10K Run). I have to go pick up my registration packet later today and later tonight, my running group and I are going to get together and hang out. Wish me luck Saturday.

Do The Stu: I'm not finding any music from The Squares as of yet. I'm still looking.

Skippygirl: You are a rock guitar chick no matter what. How's the guitar playing and exercising around the oval going for you?

Zinc Master: My results are still not posted from the Indy-Mini. I might have to call them and hopefully get this figured out.

TO EVERYONE: I hope everyone is doing well. I haven't preordered any of Chickenfoot's albums yet, but I should when I have this time. I have already signed up for more races this summer, which is awesome. Doing a marathon is still in question.

I have also started looking for another job. I plan on continuing hospitality and decided to try to work another job along with my job at the Holiday Inn. I have done it before for a short period of time.

However, I am too dependable/reliable for my hotel job. I even come in on my days off and I sacrifice my time with my running group to work because those who were scheduled can't make it, which my boss then calls me. My boss even schedules me on the days I have my running races, even though I gave him a list of the races I'm going to do, which frustrates me. The only good part is that I get paid overtime. I can't be there all the time and my boss (hopefully) should know that.

What's wrong with Indy ??

Go kick them in the backside and have them set the records straight !!

No more long races for me this year - nothing over 6, I think.

Great news. I just ordered Chickenfoot's CD (Album) & Vinyl. YEAH!!!

Zinc Master: Just saw your post. I'll give the people a call and talk to them about it. No more than 6, huh? That's cool. You do what is best for you my running friend. Hopefully, you and I can meet and run sometime. I am planning on doing the Indy-Mini next year, and maybe book a hotel room as well. Stay in touch man.

Blue_Moon: By the way, how's it going with you? Hopefully you are not drinking too much these days.

GoldenGirl2: Sorry that I missed chatting with your husband Steve. I am glad to hear that he is doing well. Steve, how are you holding up man? I'm glad to hear you are doing well. You should be blessed to have a wonderful wife. My prayers go out to you and Millie. Keep in touch my friend. Best to you. Millie, how are you doing? You probably read my earlier post already. How is your job going? I am about ready to find a second, or another, job myself. Prayers to you and keep in touch.

By the way, to those who brought up the chocolate ordeal again, I love any kind of chocolate, especially the ones that have nuts, coconut, or fruit filling inside. Heck, I'll eat any kind of chocolate: Dove, Belgian, DeBrand's, Dark, Hershey's, etc.

Review from VHLinks. Pretty positive so far!

Also, a different take on the fire marshall situation on Sammy's website (you have to create an account to view it) from some guy who apparently got the bad end of the deal:

ARLINGTON CEMETERY - Jeopardy Question

On Jeopardy the other night, the final question was How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns ---- All three missed it -- This is really an awesome sight to watch if you've never had the chance, Very fascinating. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why?

21 steps. It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute, which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary.

2. How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin his return walk and why?

21 seconds for the same reason as answer number 1

3. Why are his gloves wet?

His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his grip on the rifle.

4. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time and if not, why not?

He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path,he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder.

5 How often are the guards changed?

Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.

6. What are the physical traits of the guard limited to?

For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5' 10' and 6' 2' tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30.' Other requirements of the Guard: They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives. They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform {fighting} or the tomb in any way. After two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only 400 presently worn. The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the wreath pin.

The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt.

There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mirror.

The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone, nor watch TV. All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery . A guard must memorize who they are and where they are interred. Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe E. Lewis {the boxer} and Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy, {the most decorated soldier of WWII} of Hollywood fame.

Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniforms ready for

guard duty.

Yep - 6 mile races and under for this year.

Meaning no more Mini's this year or any full marathons.

Satch broke out the double neck for Bitten By The Wolf, apparently. From someone on the VH Links board:
