Just gotta give a big shout out to James from Palo Alto aka jellymax on TB who saved my ass.

I blew a cone on my Eden rig the practice right before the first show of our tour. Put out a not-too-hopefull CL add seeing if anyone in the area had an extra eden 10" driver. Got an email on my phone during the first set of our tour. Wrote back at 12:45 am saying we could drive through his town on the way to LA. He texted me back at 6:00 am saying he would throw them in his trunk and i could stop by his work on our way through his town. We met him at his work at 2pm and he sold me two Eden drivers for $70; a steal. Arrived in Long Beach at 9pm, took my cab apart in the parking lot with a flashlight and screwdriver, popped the new cone in, and went on to rock a great and fun show at 11pm.

Thanks dude! My tone is good as new! LA last night, tonight... San Diego!

Musicians (or at least the good ones) help eachother out, it's what we do. Music is a language, and musicians are a brotherhood.
