Pull in the convenient store, and the air outside smells like a sewer, there is a gay midget and a gay redneck(think Deliverance, squeal piggy) flirting and arguing with each other. Go inside and more Deliverance Rednecks in the store. Now the whole time everyone there stops what they are doing to severely eye ball me. So pay for gas, then head to the bathroom, which apparently is their fetish room as feces was everywhere, everywhere but in an actual toilet. Needless to say I didn't the bathroom till I crossed the state line. Nothing scarier than a strong gay.

That sounds about right, for outside of J-ville. Sorry man. The population that makes the state 49th in education, do indeed exist.

The Strawberry Festival in Plant City seems like a gathering of the minds, in comparison.

Ha ha. I always check Craigslist back where my Mom still lives. And ask the seller are you willing to drop it off at my Mom's house lol. Then pick up the stuff when I visit or she visits me in VA.

That is a lot of bread for a Peavey. Better come with some recent retube with some Nos GE's or similar... damn. Peavey = the new Sunn? That seems way out of line for Peavey. Even if it is all tube.

There's like 5 svt 810s for sale there too. Again thinking of starting a home for wayward 810s. Crash the miss just caught me looking at craigslist.

I lived in Brevard County (Space Coast) for four years late 90s early 2000s. Did enjoy the nature and the weather, but too built up for me.

I think the ends are leather, but these are kinda cool if you don't care about all of that.

I am waiting on info for non leather options. My Carvin is really light and I have been happy but as my back gets worse, I need to find ways to help. I might have to break code on this one because Couch will not have a wide option anytime soon... sucks.

One time I was driving from Sterling VA back to Pittsburgh. Got caught in one of the craziest thunderstorms I've ever experienced. Took some back road ways to avoid the halted highway traffic. Stopped at a gas station while still in VA and ran into an Indian (like, from India) redneck farmer driving a 70s ford pickup. He had a southern drawl and everything. Just something completely unexpected and shocking.

There are a lot of black rednecks where I live now, still throws me once in a while, jacked up trucks, pro bass camo hats, I am still waiting to see one jump out of pickup with a rebel flag on the back and a mullet. And when I lived in Kentucky at the farmers market I saw a group of mennonite men checking out rifles for sale. The one mennonite kid was asian. All I could think was all the asian kids that white people adopt, and this poor kid kicks put in a mennonite family with all their beliefs and no fun and hard labor, almost like getting framed for something you didn't do lol

I still love the colour and the shape. Great 90's rock record...and I love 90's rock.

**LOCOPELAND** · #**657** 02-10-2013, 11:54 AM

Thinking about making an offer on this. http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/msg/3589670213.html

What would you guys say is a fair offer? I know what I wanna offer, but I don't wanna seem out of line if it's too low.

Anywhere in the 275-300 range seems fair to me. I haven't looked into a mim bass in awhile.

Agreed but to this day i just cannot get into the foo fighters. I have their first two and while i enjoy the songs, nothing ever grabs me.

But soundgarden. Woah nelly.

Your rig sounded really good, those behringer cabs sounded great! And I love your guitar players singing voice.

The stage had some pro sound dampening that made the onstage sound really weird, I thought I sounded like shvt but I guess it sounded fine out in the crowd. My guitar player got on top of his amp at one point. Both of my beers got knocked over. The load in and outs sucked...I should sell everything, get a combo and play Coldplay covers, NOT!!!

Cant wait for next week friday!

Going to another show tonight, got to get our faces out there.

The show was fun and we had huge, heavy-drinking crowd. Vega was really damn good! Super stoney, jammy space-rock goodness! My wife is big a fan too! I really dug the jam on the last song, and light show fit the music perfectly.

There was a shirtless guy who may have been on MDPV (bath salts), swinging around on a pole, dropping to floor doing push ups, pulling his pants down, taking a random swing at a stranger and connecting with his jaw then falling over the monitors on to the stage area. I alerted the bartender after the last part, they gave shirtless guy a second chance after which he went into the ladies room and removed his clothes.

The guy who cracked his head open outside turned out to be our guitar players roommate. Anyone from the old SR.com might remember Torgo. That was him. Haven't heard if he's ok, but I don't think he was too badly hurt.

The acoustic treatment on the stage was a little better than I was used to. My rig sounded quiet so I cranked the volume on the muff and upped the bass which ended up overdriving the power amp sending it into thermal shut down on the first song. (felt like amateur hour, a little embarrassed by that one). But by all accounts it was loud as hell out in the room. Chalk that one up to experience, I guess. We ran out of time and had to cut two songs from the set.

So not our best show, but a successful night over all. I'm really glad the Vega guys made it out, they played a great set and I'm looking forward to playing some more shows with them in the future.

Made it home about 3:30 and couldnt sleep. Got up, drank coffee and zombie'd it through the day yesterday until I passed out on the couch at 11:00.
