so much fun last night...last set was rocking out for 2+ hours...my charts for the original songs of GroundZeroLA went by the wayside as the drunk dancing beer-soaked mob stomped on them..lemme tell you, John Notto and Josh Gooch are bad mamma's on guitar, as are cam tyler on drums and marc labelle on vox.....these clowns are in their mid-20's...scary. 

i put roundwound strings on my 77 p for kicks...liked it alot...pummeled it through my Way Huge Pork Loin, which stayed on the ENTIRE night...hehe. 

Happy Saturday, all.

but i land at o hare, filght to LAX is already closed... i call ual, they put me on a 330 flite that lands in Orange County at 5:37...on the plane i book a limo to take me to LAX when i land...you know, a town car to pick up my truck at the parking spot on sepulveda... i land at 530, driver is nowhere...i call the limo company, they say the dude is 5 minutes away...15 minutes later no driver...10 minutes later he pulls up in a stretch limo (wtf)..i am furious because he is so late. i already backed the film date up an hour to 8pm...anyway, he pulls up, gets out of the car, i tell him "lets just go since your so late". meanwhile i'm throwing my bass and man-purse into the car...but i put my 3rd bag with my amp and pedals and cables on the roof of the car...in my fury i forgot to put it in the car. so it rolled off the car somewhere, hopefully in the airport...over $1500 worth of  pedals and stuff in there...ouch..as well as the $125 for the limo back to LAX..if you hear about it let me know, would you? molto grazzie..
