ROCKPAGE

Congrats Justin!

In innovative collaboration between a music shop and a band with no cash that will help get an album made. The music shop is allowing the unsigned band to use the recording equipment for sale in the shop after hours. http://www.boingboing.net/2009/12/03/broke-ass-band-cuts.html Although I agree with...

What a great and interesting read! Thanks for that.

Also, I had heard the term Steampunk before, but didn't know what it meant. I looked it up, and that looks pretty intriguing as well. I may do a little more research into it. Looks interesting!

I was going to pass this info along to some people I know that might be interested. Do you have the link or more information about this that I could direct them to?

I've eaten there, and thought it was really good, if you like Mediterranean food. It's not cheap though...just FYI. They really fixed it up nicely, considering it was originally designed to be a strip club. (You can still see some of the design remnants...DJ booth, where the stage was, etc.) Oh...an...

Congrats! Looking forward to checking out the new Lies with Scott on board. You guys are gonna kick ass!

It was the British Invasion playing. Bob, Rick, Bo, Harold and Kent did an awesome job!

It took me about an hour to get out of the parking lot also.

One of the ones that I got was, "Wisdom of the Hostile." I kinda like it...sounds like a cool song title too!

Happy Birthday Dax!

Ohhh....that would be fun! I'd def. come riding with you guys.

Yeah...I work in State College now. Is that where you ride?

Rock on Cryssie!

I actually have the motorcycle permit booklet sitting on my kitchen table right now. I'll probably take the test later this summer. Although other motorists not seeing me or just being a-holes does scare me.

I started playing bass 2 1/2 years ago. Let's just say that when I started, I was older than 34.

Coming from someone with "small hands," I started out on a full-scale bass and I'm glad I did. I actually use a 35" bass now too. So, I would suggest that he learn on a full scale from the beginning. A thinner neck may help him with being able to reach the frets better. Ibenez's necks...

Tim's American Cafe has the best wings. Honestly, that's the only thing I've ever eaten there, but I've heard nothing but good things about all of their food. Decent prices and big portions. Also, if you're looking for something different, The Phoenicia has great Mediterranean food. It can be a litt...

My paternal great-grandfather was a fiddle player as one of The Tweedy Brothers, which was a bluegrass band out of West Virginia in the 1920's. I've heard tales that he was good friends with "Grandpa" of Hee-Haw, and had been asked to play on the show, but that's just a family story that h...

Work full-time at PSU, so it's about a 2 hour commute for me each day; play 3 shows a month with Kitty Whip, and single mom to my 5-year-old daughter. I practice in the evenings after my daughter goes to bed. The rest of the KW crew have been very accommodating of my schedule. We have band practice ...

I'm going to print this out and put it in my guitar case...I think I may need to refer back to it in the future..Thanks for the look ahead. As far as seeing other bands...in the last month or so Ive seen, Bad Daze Sunset Strip Crow In The Snow Blackout Get the Led Out This Friday were going up to c...

My thoughts are with him.

I used to love going there when I was young. I also remember walking through the little kid door.

Great job on Don't Blink, Bob!

The rest of Lies weren't too bad either.

Can I put in a request for Markbass?

Debbie Harry - 63
Chrissie Hynde - 57

Rotosound Swing 66

I've also tried D'Addario, but so far, Rotosounds are my favorite.

mmmmm....hot wings and good beer sounds really awesome right now

Well, it does only have 4-strings, so it MUST be easier than a guitar.
