A Craigslist flake has struck again. I even emailed the guy to see if he was still interested in my item, and if not, to just let me know. Nothing.

Dicks.

I am supposed to be under a couple inches right now. I swear Al gore was right. Worlds getting warmer, I remember when I was like 5 or 6 and we would get like 4 or 5 snow days a year and winter was white most of the time. Now kids are lucky to get 1, we do have some storms but they are all "big" ones that are like month apart.


Winter is my favorite season, I love snow. This not winter.


Yes, I'm angry at something I have no control over.



It's probably the lake.

It's the lake, dude. We're at 16 inches and counting in Madison. It's not supposed to stop snowing until after midnight.

Working from home today, which is nice.

I'm convinced Milwaukee is turning into Portland or something...

just now, starting to flurry

Just got the new talk bass app too. Nice up graddes!

Two "d"s for a double dose of its pimpness.

Then again now that I have my Acoustic back, which spits out a pretty dirty signal on its own, it may not matter.

So far the most pleasurable results (for me) were the wah before fuzz, boost completely off. I didn't notice any volume drop and I think it's way easier to control than the crybaby I used to have or the demon screamer one of my guitarists had and I tested. I'd love to actually try one of those crazy tel ray ones but I was liking the sounds I was getting out of this.

Tempted to get a flip flop pedal so I can toggle between before fuzz and after fuzz when I want to punish aural cavities. Think I'll wait on that for a bit though.

App is awesome! Heres to the end of my freetime! And the world!

They did a great job casting him. I am convinced that some people have a face that is easy to hate. I work with someone like that. He it's a nice guy, but he just puts people off. lol.

I'm going to a doomsday wedding.

[Lazarus.Bird]

Doomsday show, and then another show the next day just in case we're still here!

[Sartori]

One of my friends turns 21 tomorrow. It's our hypothesis that if the world ends, this will be why.

[Lazarus.Bird]

Overpriced but pretty cool.

what do you folks think of Code Orange Kids?

Funny you mention them. My buddy was just telling me about them. I guess they played here in buffalo at some point and had some youtube clips up. I`ve got to give them a few more listens before I say anything either way. What do you think about them?

I have renters insurance that costs me $100 / year, it would cover up to like $100,000 or something but has a higher deductible, not sure what. But glad to have it in case my apartment was ever raided and wiped clean. I need to do some research and see if my current insurance covers gear in my car or practice spaces. The renters insurance is pretty much homeowners insurance for renters, and the specifics are just as gray and fuzzy as homeowners fine text.


and I can't stop looking at this picture wondering *** is going on

Yeah,it`s hard not to look at that picture. It`s just so weird.

I have Renter`s insurance(infact I have the bill sitting right here,I have to send it out soon),I pay $127 every year and I`m covered for $52,700 if some thing happens and $100,000 for something else(if some one got hurt?). It` s not as great as it sounds tho. The way they cover musical instruments is based on "this years model" price. So if any of my older vintage guitars got stolen I would only get the value of a 2012/2013 model and not the true `74 value. Also I happen to have a large gun collection and the way my renter`s works is that only 300 dollars goes to me if they get stolen or ruined, no matter what the real damage was. Same with jewelry,only a few hundred is covered.
So my insurance is better than nothing but not ideal.

I've actually had someone want me to make them a cab like that to run along with their 4x12 for guitar. Needless to say I wasn't into it.
