Gig tomorrow night. 6:30-9:30, 2 miles from the house. Currently waiting for shop to get done with 'gear hauler'. Possible jam Sunday, weather permitting. Just might get energetic and take the "practice amp". 0608181235-00.jpg (NO!)

What is holding that practice amp in the air like a guillotine for flip flops?
 
Who is it asking us to line up alphabetically by height?

A GoF bummer is that moment when observing yourself kind of humming along and maybe grooving to something you hear in a public area when you realize

when you realize

that's Locomotive Breath you're hearing as muzak :eek:
As chivalrous, courteous, and honorable GOF's we acknowledge the GOF Lady's prerogative to report (or not) in any fashion they wish. :)
Speaking of which, I haven't seen the other lady GOF (her name escapes me at this time) visiting recently...

....and yes-- it is sad that most of my favorite "rocking out" songs of the 70's and 80's now play overhead whilst I shop for my organic fiber for Seniors! :roflmao:

OMG Plaid, I played one of those in Wenatchee Washington in the 70's and loved it! The one I played was 100 watts and had a 15" FOLDED HORN CAB! like Acoustic Control Corporation. I started saving for one and was to return to Wenatchee, but when I did, the only one sold. I've never forgotten how nice that amp was! So cool! A 100 watt combo with a folded horn cab built in! :thumbsup:

I'm surprised that Kasinos aren't more common. Surely they are as bullet proof as the Kustom line...

As I think of Wenatchee and wonder how many times TB'ers paths may have crossed (or almost crossed) IRL, I wonder - Will - did you ever run into an Alaskan guitar player who calls himself Usik? He'd be about our age.
I might have.... we played the Apple Blossom festivals and there were a LOT of bikers there. We made bookoo tips and got wayyyy too many free shots! LOL. What did he look like?

Been rather a while, actually, yes a good while. By memory, about 5'10", slender, thin face, short light brown hair. Made quite a pile working on the Alaskan Pipeline. Anyone who calls themselves an Usik is by definition an Usik (in my opinion) and he was / is (?) one of the bigger Usiks I've met.

This thing is (supposedly) 200w w/ 2x15"-probably peak but it is loud and if EQ'ed properly doesn't fart out 'til F# or lower. Not bad for a 49 y/o amp.:)
 
....it cleans the whole system, right on down the line!

If a dog won’t help by sharing your breakfast, it’s a safe bet that you should find something else to eat. The converse is not true.

with real glycerin vibrafoam!

Quite a few years ago I got a PM from a TB'er who lives a couple of miles from me. I'd never met him in the flesh here, or as it turns out, back in CT where we grew up about 20 miles apart. We definitely were at plenty of the same shows on both coasts. And yeah, I've been to Wenatchee a few times myself.

While not one to ordinarily look out the window of a plane

better strike that as for more likely one who looks out the window of a plane when there is something to see. And as one who in another Now that isn't Now now flies into SeaTac every single Monday

there is one moment with Rainier that stands as a Most Perfect Moment. It's a good feeling to hold.
