So I talked about my music career taking a turn for the better... I signed papers today that basically say I am committed to this project. It is not done because the deal has to be signed on the other end, (read as MONEY). Of course that person could still look at the paper and crumple it up and file it............(edited to add, Hiccup no 1, bass player wanted retired,guitarist on his way to live in vietnam. Oh well time destroys plans, will find new ones)
That hasn't stopped me from window shopping. First stop, DW Drums. These are the Shit. I have wanted one ever since Tommy Lee first started endorsing them in the late 80's. What has stopped me? They cost as much as a car. Well a really cheap car but a car none the less. Next stop: Electronics. (I have an electronics fetish btw) PA, Mixers, Subwoofers, lights... I am a kid in a candy store. Well a kid who has no money in a candy store anyway.
At least it has kept my mind off the fact that I am not getting any.

Wow, I love musical equipment. I am getting hot just reading your post.
My brother is actually a very good guitar player. He used to play with all those little high school type bands when we were young, and then he became a professional roadie for years ... traveling the US and once even to Finland. Apparently Finland worked out really well for him. He still had really long hair at that point, looking a whole lot like Marc Bolan, Jimmy Page or Slash, depending on your age. And all the non-English speaking blonde/blue women found him fascinating. He said that sometimes they would follow him in the streets or just touch his hair. Obviously ... he liked that.
But then ... he got married ... the psycho wife was jealous, blah, blah ... and now that he is divorced, gets to play again, but the gigs are of the smoke-filled beer bar variety at this point.
We just sold a really nice DW kit ... Champagne Sparkle Collector Series finish ... they had been played for about 15 minutes and then the guy was bored. Forget who they used to belong to, but celebrity-owned equipment usually has stories like that. Some people just have too much money. I hope you become one of them! This kit did not go up on eBay, though. Too hard to ship.
Have a great Friday!
