12-strings Are Better Than Six

I'd like to start this post by wishing my sincerest apologies to any Mets fans that might be reading this... 2 years in a row, you fell apart at the end of the season... So here's a little something to ease the pain:



Onto the events from this past weekend...
On Saturday, I scoped out some local music shops to find a guitar. I ran into this fantastic sounding acoustic 12-string. It's a Simon & Patrick (a Canadian make) with a bright tone and it plays really easily, but it's a bit too expensive. I played a few other 12-strings at some other stores, but none of them really compared. One of the more reasonably-priced guitars was an acoustic-electric, so I'll probably go back to that store (Scayles) and ask to hear the electronics.







On Sunday, I went to the Meadows to play some pick-up football. It was a lot of fun!! I played for about 3 hours - and I'm paying for it now - I'm SOOOO SORE!! I also met a few nice guys who told me about some good places nearby - music venues, pubs, etc. I plan on meeting them for a game again soon. Also, I was told that the arch at one end of the Meadows is made from a whale's jawbone. I found this picture of it online - it's really cool, I'll try to get one of my own later!

I wanted to thank everyone again for keeping up with me... I was amazed to see this in my e-mail:
