Anyone heading to Columbus from the Philly area? I was thinking of going. A bit of a drive by oneself.

Act Excited at the Lucky Dip line? You mean I have to dress up like a tomato and pretend I'm on "Let's Make a Deal" ? I have enough issues as it is.

Finally got my Columbus shirt done. Hope it will be of help in the Lucky Dip line! Both shirts look much better in person. Poor lighting here tonight.

Also made a Sticky Fingers shirt with a working zipper. It's size men's L. If anybody wants it, just let me know and we can meet up before either the Columbus or Pittsburgh show. Free, of course. This one's not quite perfect, so I'm going to make another one for myself later. The pictures are about 8x8 on back, 8x10 front.

Bar trolling friday night:

Was hoping maybe Clapton was in town and there would be a surprise guest or three somewhere tonight for a guitar jam. I stationed myself at Park Street Saloon for Band 2, and the wife (big Clapton fan) went to Natalie's Coal Fire Pizza where Mark May (former Dicky Betts & Great Southern guitarist) was playing. On the way to Park Street, some weirdo guy tried to hit on me and harrassed me about a half block before I damn near took a swing at him. My night was already ruined by the time I hit Park Street at about 8:50pm. The band didn't hit the stage until 9:45pm thereabouts. Texted the wife throughout while I was there, no rumours of surprise guests at Natalie's, but at least they had good pizza and it was a little more laid back. I hit the road after the first song (YCAGWYW) and headed down there to join her. Good pizza and stayed for a handful of tunes, but did not enjoy the evening overall. Short North was hopping.

READY TO ROCK THE SHOE, BRING IT ON BABY!!!!

20% chance of rain around showtime. Looks like all the heavy stuff will be scattered/pop-up throughout the afternoon.

The stage seems to be ready ....

If they are ever going to play "You Gotta Move" in a stadium again (or "I Got the Blues") ...... this should be the time.

Columbus has already gotten "Sister Morphine" , "Moonlight Mile" , "Hear Me Knocking" , and the live in concert debut of "Sway" .

Time for "You Gotta Move" and "I Got the Blues" plus probably either "Bitch" or "Dead Flowers" and,obviously,"Brown Sugar".

The stage somehow looked better last year without that huge white canopy sticking out of it.

Great stage.
enjoy everyone..

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

Local guitar maker designs a guitar for Keith

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

When this happens does Keith "pocket" the guitar, thanks the man then shows him the door or does it give him some money?

I think Ronnie's more the guy for novelty guitars.

Novelty probably doesn't do this guitar justice. I'm sure the luthier studied Keith's preferences and lovingly put many hours into getting this one right. Boutique would be a better description. Hope this guy gets a nod and a good seat from Keith.

peace

I wonder if it even gets past Pierre's inspection.

He glued a freakin zipper on it. If that's not novelty I wouldn't know what is.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
