Paul K Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 My Univox Hi-Flyer doesn't have side dots so I stuck on some of the glow in the dark ones. Problem is that on guitar I use my thumb a whole lot and in the heat the stick on dots slide around. Gonna have to get out the black nail polish. Or stop looking at the neck.

Groove Mama Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I live 50 miles due west of Chgo. It's an hour ride into the city on a good day, but usually longer...sometimes as much as 2X longer...plus parking is expensive, etc., etc. So although there are many great bands that come through town, one has to first carefully weigh the hassle/enjoyment ratio. On Oct 9, however, Victa will be playing at a community college only 15 miles up the road from me. And on the very same night, King's X, with all its dUg Pinnicky goodness, will be playing just 5 miles up the road from me. Of course, this is the same weekend that I'll be out of town.

There's really not much you can do around the customers but with people like that, providing they are not elderly is use outdated terms around them until they get the hint.

Paul K Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I just got back from a weekend trip to Wash DC. The rally was way cool; more people than I've ever seen in my life. The news did not do justice to the #'s of people there. And not just young people. Lots of old people. But the limiting factor wasn't the people; it was that the Metro just couldn't bring any more people in. All cars were jam packed at 9:45 at the Strathmore stop on the red line, which is three or four stops from the end of that line. And more than two hours after the event, we gave up and had dinner in D.C. 'cause we still couldn't get on a train to go home. During the rally, even 7th Avenue was totally totally packed as far as the eye could see. Wonder how many people ended up pissing their pants. It's like you just couldn't move. Great fun! The people of D.C. are just the nicest people in the world. We didn't come across a single surly person. OK, so I only found one Kandinsky in the museums. But I can live with that, 'cause there were tons of Picasso's, Monet's and bunch of other dead people's work. Really, though: Just nice and helpful people, even after the rally when the restaurant people did have a right to be at least a little crabby; they were tired but still had a smile that wasn't an act... Not like Ithaca. OK, so the Metro. I've done subways all over, but never one where you paid more for a longer ride, and more for rush hours (which I thankfully didn't have to deal with); as such, you really are paying for the ride when you exit instead of when you enter. That's F'd up, right? So here's the tip: at first, put just a couple dollars on your Metro card. This will get you onto the train, and basically tells their computer where you got on the train. Then on the way out, slide your card in the separate kiosk will tell you how much more you need to put on the card in order to leave the subway. Put that much on the card, plus one dollar. That way the turnstyle will give you back the card for your next trip. On your last subway ride of the vacation, just put in the exact amount you'll need. The turnstyle will keep the card 'cause it's empty, and you're done. Tokens were so much easier for the occasional rider.......

Paul K Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Didja see the new Pompalamoose (or something...)X-mas Hyundai commercial? Our whiter than white friends are doing well for themselves; hooray for them! She is soooo cute. Infectious vibe. Almost as cool as the Kia comercial with the rapping mice.

Cthulhu Fhtagn Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Wasn't there a nasty row about a few months back about the same band and the same description? I must be impervious to Indie music - I really didn't get the commercial or know they were even a named band. Admittedly, the Kia Soul commercials slay me. Then again, so do the Gieco commercials - "So easy, even a drummer can do it!" Quote Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul K Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 OK, so I haven't had many bass gigs since I'm concentrating on that singer thing. But had a bass gig saturday night. It took till today for my plucking hand index finger to stop hurting. It's like I had pancake for fingertips.
