This doesn't do much for the, "If you make it in New York you can make it anywhere" normal attitude of people around there that I've met.

Ha ha, I'd say you should contact the guy and then if you can get him to show up for a practice make sure you set up really bad equipment and bring in your buddy who has never played drums. Be sure it is in a PACKED garage and make sure it is hotter than H.E.double hockeysticks.

Just see what he does.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure it's a joke as well, IMO it was a pretty failed joke, so I put here. IMO, of course.

Haha! Personally I'm positive it's a joke, and a good one, too. :P

I don't think there's a person that stupid in the world, at least not smart enough to materialize their stupidity into an ad if they are serious. (I have been wrong before, though... )

Either way, I got a kick out of it.

I would(maybe)bet my bottom dollar that someone will respond to it.Man,it would have to be a "real deal"artsy-fartsy,willing to do anything for a deal,starving musician to respond to it.Or,just some dumb-ass.
