Hello fellow T2Jers!!

i saw Dream Theater the other night & went to Petrucci's guitar clinic just before it. saturday was such a big day for me O_o i'd been have anxiety/panic attacks the day before the gig :/ this usually happens when i go to a concert, but this time was real bad... though i enjoy myself, the lead up to it is tough on me. < i know it doesn't make sense & i'm posting TMI but i just wanted to share with other Satch fans >=:) i'm only just starting to calm down.

anyway, i'm glad i went and pushed through the panic... by the grace of God i survived, thank you Jesus!!

during the JP clinic he mentioned G3 and i said 'can you bring them back? heh >=;) i was being lighthearted of course... but deep down i'm like O_o G3 in OZ again *brain POP!*

i haven't been keeping upto date with what's going on here, apologies for that... it's not that i don't care, it's the add.

sano, thanks, yer a sweetheart. It was actually the post after the one with my name in it that was rather rude to the people on the board, but that's nothing new. Life goes on. C'mon, let's dance!

BigB, wow! What a day for you! very cool! FYI and tmi - I get the same way before shows. Do you share my mascara fun? Steady hands just ain't happenin' before a show. lol! Don't wanna do a Tammy Faye now do we. lol!

hi michelle *waves*

was someone being rude? don't worry, it's the internet ;) alot of bad peeps out there, once someone told me to put a tyre around my neck and set fire to it O_o i think the reason he said this was because i was being polite... go figure >=;P

edit: michelle - i don't use make up. don't know why just never wanted to use the stuff. i have agoraphobia and a few other disorders < TMI again... so i have to force myself to go out. when Satch tours i don't want to miss him cause i know i'll regret it so I pray alot and pop a few valium < TMI x2 O_o

webmaster jon - will you be updating the Fan Art section soon? i sent a pici in about a year ago. it's the painting i gave Joe in 2008... the one that makes Alan laugh his head off >=;P < that's for you BlueMoon

BigB, that's horrible! They actually printed a picture of a woman in that predicament in S. Africa in our local newspaper one time a few yrs back. It was on page 2, so when you opened up the paper, there she was - poor thing. It was one of the nastiest and most disturbing things I have ever seen. They papers defense - it's news. Man, they didn't have to show a picture of it ffs! Just the story would have been sufficient. I don't know what makes some people tick. It was awful for anyone to say that to you - and for being polite too! lol! Just goes to show...

lmao - Valium - what a lovely word. lol! Glad yer not doing a Tammy faye 8-)

Google translater is your friend, sometimes not so much.

oh my gosh... they actually do that to people :( we humans sure know how to hurt one another. DT played 'Sacrificed Sons' yesterday and when i saw all the photos of the people who had died in 911 i almost cried...silly thing is i was thinking 'don't cry you're at a concert' < i shouldn't be afraid to cry in public... if i hear Joe play 'Love Thing' live i'm gonna bawl my eyes out!

Cappy Steve Edit, I empathise with peeps who suffer from phobias being phobophobic myself. ;-)

lol cappy! So true :) The word "bitches" was def in there, lol!!

And I wanted to say I'm sorry about your loss of yet another friend. My parents go through a lot of that...at their age, they see many friends pass...but at your age it just shouldn't be happening so much! Hugs. How is Eithne feeling these days? And your boy?

Leeann, good to hear from ya and know yer still out there...I'm very glad for you that u were able to push through and go to the clinic and show...DT are wonderful and so worth seeing live!! Stay on the look-out for possible Chickenfoot down under, you absolutely won't want to miss that if they make it there. Valium, used correctly of course, can be yer FRIEND!! Merry Christmas!!

BigBunny- If I ever see Joe live...I will bawl my eyes out 'cause so many of those songs reach down into my soul....... (solo Joe songs) Its comforting to know I am not the only one that suffers from some phobia's... I can so relate to what your sharing. Kudos for overcoming and enjoying yourself.

Cheese- Used correctly xanax can be yer friend too ....LOL..... Incorrectly 'nother story. Any ways......

Joe - I caught the very first U.S. Chickenfoot show in Seattle. Although the club promoter way oversold the show in this very small venue and nearly got the show shut down (thanks to sammy for some fast talking with the fire marshals), It was fantastic. One of the best shows I've been to.

That said, how can there be an Experience Hendrix tour without doing a show in Seattle - the birth place and childhood home of the tour's namesake?!?!?

Any chance you could talk the tour manager into scheduling a stop in Seattle? I would recommend The Showbox at the Market, The Moore, or the Paramount (preferably the Showbox).

xanax is a gift from God...or was that booze??

j/k....sort of. lol!

Still raining here. Accidents all over the place. Here's a quote from the online newspaper from just one road - "A state police official estimated there were at least 40 accidents on I-78." Sounds like wicked fun...not! People just don't slow down when the weather is bad.

Big Bummy - I saw Fleetwood Mac at the Sydney showground way back when they did the 'Tusk' tour, gotta say it was immense!!

Joe,

So sorry to hear about your moms passing today in Newsday. I know that she meant the world to you and your family. Please know that your fans thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss. Please accept my sincere condolences to you, Rubina and ZZ.

...

WHAT!!!

OMG! It's true.

Joe, so sorry, I met her at the Surfin 25th concert, she was sittin in the front seating area and never took her eyes off you on stage, a proud mama to be sure. I was amazed she lasted the whole concert coz that hall (Gramercy Theater) was a sweathole!!! I was down of the floor with Ronnie Anderson and Ada, Rob Balducci, Steve Trott and Dave Martone...... We were schvitzing I tell you...

Joe, again, so sorry, respect

My condolences as well, Joe. Your family will be in my prayers.

Joe........feelin for you all back home in Scotland & Barcelona, big bear hugs all round ya fam
