I am an idiot parent. I bought my daughter acoustic drums for Xmas. They were a great deal. She got them in November however as hiding a drum set is... difficult.

Actually, I may not be an idiot parent, I may however be a bad neighbour. We'll see how it all works out.

Greetings from snowy Spokane to all my Thunderbird loving sisters and brothers. Santa just arrived, or rather I went to GC and picked up this gorgeous new bass. I spoke with someone who gave me a bit of a break, and made certain it was still factory sealed. I have just started to get to know her.
I will write more once I get some more playing time.
Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Happy New Year.

This is the sort of thing we need a Wiki for. It needn't be as extensive as the Rumble Club's.
