BrianT and I are putting a little spit and polish on a few songs for the "offical" OFC jam.
It's getting close and I'm getting pretty stoked for it. |

Location: Cicero, NY | A slightly dinged up Concert Classic will be available for those nylon players out there. I've got to pick up new strings but they'll be put on about a week before the Tour just to make sure they're nice and fresh.
I'm getting pretty stoked myself. Can't wait to meet and hear some of you guys play first hand. |

I'm bringing my U681T. Yours probably needs to be run through the dishwasher as soon as you get it home and will need time to dry :D :p :D :p |

A fuckin' bullet rips off part of your head. Your brains are lying on the ground in little bloody pieces. Now I aks you, do you give a fuck what kind of pants the son-of-a-bitch who shot you was wearing? " |

The guitars, yes. The other... well, good luck. |

I'm not trying to bum out the folks who can't go this year but I gotta say that just the variety of guitars to play with is worth the trip all on it's own. |

Maybe I should wear a labcoat with a pocket protector and carry around a clipboard. |

| OK that's official.... it's "Fishnets and Lab Coats".... or you don't get in. Of course, if you bring a Llama you can wear anything you want. but for the rest of us it's the coats & socks!
I am planning on hitting the Jamm session on one of the nights??? I'll drive out and drive back. If I can fit it in I'd love to hit the Factory tour as well but I really don't think I can swing it.
I have three huge projects going and I just added digging up the part of the pool to fix the broken return.....it never ends

..... you may be an Ovationaulic
If people comment that you'd get more work done if you weren't holding jam session in your cubicle....
......you may be an Ovationaulic
When you go on vacation and have to leave one or more children behind to make room for the guitars...
......you may be an Ovationaulic
When your vacations are booked around OFC events.....
......You, MAY, be... an... Ovationaulic.
Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week and remember, your waitress works for tips. |

| Americans are emotionally incapable of understanding cricket. I've been trying to explain it to my sports-mad NY brother-in-law every year for the last 13 years. We get as far as " a game takes either 3 days or 5 days and usually ends in a tie." Then we go to the pub. |
