OK...behave yourselves...

...I'm leaving here in a few minutes to drive to Atlanta for the Rush concert!



I will try to check on your clowns a bit later, and will be back up to full speed here in the shop tomorrow evening for a bit.

Stay out of trouble....or else!!!!

Who's Rush? Are they the band that just came out with that one album "behind the lighted stage" that everyone was talking about?

My skeleton key should do the trick.

Hey Atlanta,

Hell's coming for breakfast . You better have dark beer or else



Have fun man. Boy do I not envy you driving through Atlanta. I'd live closer, if I didn't hate idiot drivers.



Hope the sky don't pee on your parade.



God Bless, Ray

These guys said they'd unlock everything for free but they'll be a while getting there.

Enjoy the show! I assume that you'll be seeing the time machine? It was beyond cool seeing Moving Pictures live in Mpls

Have a nice time Gard.

A visit from Gard

The Rush concert was awesome. That band might just have a future in this business.
We went to the ABG yesterday and had a good hang with Jim. I'm not just sayin' this 'cause Gard was there, but a Roscoe LG Standard 5 was one of the best basses in the shop, and I played just about everything. This one:

OK, I'm back, and we WILL be restoring order around here!!!



...well, yeah, uh...right...just like before, hm?





OK, the concert: FAN-EFFING-TASTIC! Dave's right, I think these guys may have a future in this business!

Seeing all of Moving Pictures in order was a blast, the rest of the show was fantastic. Great stuff - the short movies at the beginning, end of intermission, and after the show were all hilarious (I love people that call this band "too serious", that's a dead give-away that they've never really listened to them! ), and the reggae version of Working Man was killer!

It was great to visit ABG, fantastic shop, Jim's a good dude, and has a killer inventory. Not enough Roscoes hangin' there though.

Ray's right, traffic in Atlanta SUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKSSSSSSSS. Love the town, the people are awesome, but no way I could live with that traffic. The football team seals the deal though.

OK, I'm here, so, gimme back my booze - at least the small amount left after you clowns used dynamite to open an unlocked cabinet (you seriously think I'd do anything to impede my access to the liquor cabinet? ) - and back to work!!!

Two points, 1, it wasn't your access we were worried about, and 2, I did suggest using a hammer...

From one big Rush fan to another, glad you had a good time in Atlanta. Did you have any sweet tea with your popcorn?
