It's been a joke for years on the drum forum that I'm a mod on. Whenever I'd buy a new kit I'd post a pick with a matching shirt...

I posted a pic of me playing my Peavey bass while wearing a Zildjian shirt and they wouldn't let me live it down.
"They" don't have a sense of humor.
Nor do I at the moment. I'm furious. Positively furious. And so close to that blog right now that it's scary.

I got stood up. Worse - at 2PM the date was still on. But I haven't heard a word - and I kicked off painting at 4:30 to get ready - so on top of having hurt feelings that I got stood up, I've lost nearly six hours of painting time on my remodel. And....I turned down three other invitations to do something this evening.
So...probably nothing you can do - unless you would like to help me paint all night to blow off steam. Or care to come put him out of my misery. Thank you for asking, though.

Damn, I hope there's a mighty good reason. Can't imagine being either rude enough or chicken"poop" enough to stand up a date.

Damn that sucks Tat. I'm really sorry bout your date. Maybe you dodged a bullet. You deserve more than that
I think I'd be more PO'd over losing project time versus being stood up. I do understand how that hurts though...was this date #2 with the guy from the other night?

Holy Mother of Adorableness.
My two little ones each have a set of bongos, among other various instruments. They sit on the living room floor and beat those things like they each have six arms and have been mainlining coffee. They can actually drown out our guitar and bass. Their volume without amplification is impressive. Sometimes, just for the sheer joy of sweet torture, one will hold a recorder in their mouth and blow into it open while still banging on the bongos. Then the Death Wish Dog hears us start his song and comes out of his sleep spot on my bed to do his backing vocal duties. Sometimes the other three join in too, but he never misses his song.
Thanks Furry.
I gave Sophia a recorder. If she tooted it any harder birds would fall dead from the trees or start flying into my windows. She really loves the drums the most so I'll get a snippet of her playing next time.
Drummer, I may start saving for her to attend your drum school
For now, she wails away on my buddy's Mapex Saturn kit that he's been nice enough to leave here for the last year or so. For the record, that Pbass came preloaded with a full tank of mojo. What a sweet looking bass. I'm a maple board guy even though none of mine have one at the moment. Great score. enjoy!

BassGen, hope you guys get to feeling better soon. Being sick sucks and is even worse when it's that kind of sick.

Having spent 11 hours today gutting a bathroom that was destroyed by fire and smoke and getting it back to being drywalled, I can say that if I was stood up, I wouldn't go back to work. My butt would sleep.
His loss Tat. Next time he calls you can tell him... I'd love to go out but I'm busy painting.

I'm sorry to hear that. People should be considerate enough to call and cancel in person if they can't go.

Sounds groovy Jim! Are those Darkstars in your Lakland? My computer speakers suck so I can't hear the full glory of them but I'm liking what I hear. Nice work.
Dave, there's not a good reason. It's not the first time he's done this. It IS the last.
D, I'm pretty sure I did dodge a bullet. And he's deleted. Good riddance.
Der Teufel, that's why I'm so furious. If I had known he was going to flake out, I'd have never stopped painting. And, I'd probably have the room done by now.

Dave. Are you rocking a Wick these days? I had a sweet SS2 way back. So flipping heavy though that I swapped it for an NS2 ( for the most part I felt they were so similar). I liked the EMGs more in the NS2 at the time. What I really wanted to badly back then was a 5 string thumb, but every time I played one i hated the balance.
It's one of those basses that I think is a beautiful looking thing and sounds nice for someone else, but I could never get it to love me back.
My Spector was green with gold If I could have every bass that passed through my hands I'd have a music store by now.

If he knows what's good for him, he won't ever call me again. Shame on me for giving him a second chance. I deserve much better treatment than that, and I'm done with his sorry @$$. I'd be far too tempted to unload and tell him exactly what I'm thinking.

Tat it really sucks to clean up, wash brushes, rollers, etc. only to have that happen. 
Tomorrow is another day to fish. I'm sending you some good vibrations right now . 3., 2., 1.

I concur. Maybe he's not people. In which case I dodged a really big bullet.

Thanks. Tomorrow is not a paint day. Tomorrow is hang out with a drummer and jam day. Second get-together. Rhythm section only kinda thing. Thank goodness for iPods.
