cmatthes

I thought some of the contestants were okay, but a couple shouldn't have been there at all. Still a HELL of a lot more engaging for me than "Hit me one more time" or whatever that trainwreck was/is called... I just can't see any of the women doing a convincing "Suicide Blonde"...

Tom: If there is enough interest, we may be able to do another run later with a different color logo. We could probably get White on Orange this time around - I'll look into it...

Steve: We can get you a free one, no problem! It's the shipping to SC that's a killer...

The standard pricing is for Adult Small to Adult XL. There is typically a slight upcharge for additional "X"s. I could probably add some Youth shirts in the run as well if you need 'em. My 11-year old son wears the Adult Small - it is sized almost like a Youth Large, but a bit longer and fuller.

The T-shirt quality is the "Best" quality, heavyweight, 100% cotton, Preshrunk deal. I believe that Hanes "Beefy-T" is the brand/line. We don't cheap out on these! As far as "The Ultimate", we wouldn't want to use that, as that is a registered Hamer item. They approved the Logo we used for the HFC Logo, since we don't use it to make money and we asked them (nicely!) for clearance well in advance several years ago. I'm not sure if Hamer has thought about reissuing their "The Ultimate" Tees like they did a few years ago. Those are/were nice! We're gauging interest right now - based on the posted response and emails, the minimum order will not be a problem. We'll have the final sign up and details coming soon, but we can place the order in late-July/Early August and delivery is usually within 10 days/2 weeks.

Going with simple and classic for this one. Also adding "Cheap"!! This will be in Black and dark colors (Indigo, Green, Purple - possibly Maroon) to keep it simple and keep the minimum order within reason. To go to white, we need to order another 6 dozen and incur additional screen charges.

That's on my short list. I'm jonesin' for one after playing Serial's SFG and Korina Vectors: Maybe THIS?!:

We just got back from an extended weekend at the beach (the lovely Delaware Beaches). Got to hang with the Elduaves for a bit, as they are down all week. We're heading back for a full 7 days on Friday after work. Sun, surf and cold beer on the sand. Can't wait - I'm more than ready for it!

Elduave is hitting the one this Friday at Cal Ripken Stadium in MD. I don't think I'm able to make it, but am still trying to scare something up. I talked to a guy who was at the Lancaster, PA show last week, and he said it was PHENOMENAL.

Even more importantly - did he wash his hands first? As always, great pix - Thanks, Gene!

"Mini Matthai", indeed! Too F'in funny. I was always a Harrison fan, but think that Jeff Lynne ELO'd him (and the Wilburys) a little too much. Love his slide playing - very emotive. Ron said that one of the highlights at the concert for George was when it was getting late at the Albert Hall and his little girl was crying a little bit (after a long day and a longer evening), McCartney stopped in his tracks, came over to talk to her and made sure that she got a little treat. Oh yeah, seeing and playing with all those legends was also pretty okay!

It does have a Monaco neck joint. Check the infamous "shelf"!

Agreed - great show, and always good to see another HFC'er out there. Good to see ya again, Arnie! Mike Campbell was slouched in a chair talking on his cell phone at the next table, and I swear that I didn't recognize him at first. He's sporting dreads now, quite a different look for him. The Hbreakers were absolutely ON, and Mike Campbell pulled out a 1/2 size Verdiglo (Greenburst) Rick mando that looked like a mini 330 (with Ac'cent vibrato too!). Very neat stuff. The Crowes were also fantastic, although Chris was fairly quiet - more Faces-era Rod dancing/prancing than singing. They are definitely doing more of a "jam" feel to things, but it was great all around. Lots of amazing slide work was a bonus. Looking forward to catching the show again in Late July when they roll through Merriweather Post. Check it out if you get the chance!

Jack: This one is worth posting a picture for the folks who have registered in the last month or so. We've had at least 40 new names added, so one of them might be intrigued. That IS a really cool (and rare) guitar.

Pam, Look a couple hours south for now... You'll find him there!

I was flipping through the new CityPaper (DC) this afternoon, checking out the upcoming shows and there was a blurb on Lez Zeppelin (coming to the State theatre in Falls Church, VA on the 16th). The article mentions the "new" phenomenon of talented all-female tribute bands, "Witness Cheap Chick and AC/DShe...". Hey - it's a mention, right?! ANY press is good press. Just thought I'd share.

Thanks, Mike. I was shooting some shop pics for the Rocketeria site. I probably should have removed that hang tag though, but figured that the new owner should have that privilege!

The coolest one I've had the pleasure to check out lately. Well, certainly ONE of them!!

Oh, you SO have to keep me in the loop on this one, sis...

Serial: Tell me that isn't Roy Buchanan's old Standard!?! Whoah...

I just saw/held/photographed one of the more incredible Standards I've ever seen today. No pics yet, and I won't be the one to post 'em. Day-yum. That's all I'm sayin'. Martin: Serial's #0017 is an all-around stunner. Plays like a top-notch vintage guitar should and is just the $#!+. I'm partial to his blueburst #0096 though...

Oops! Sorry, Ken. Maybe I should have said "Goldtop" Duotone!

Agreed about Dave's. Always had great experience buying from them, sometimes sight unseen. Fair with trades and honest guys. I bought a P-90 Duotone from them recently and it was even better in person than I expected.

Jason: Congrats! It is great to hear that ANY guitar inspires you to play more. Make it a beauty like that and you've aced it. That's one I wish I'd gotten to see before it shipped out to you!

(Please God, don't let it be "Beavith"!!)
