Sure, we all go to local shows, but this one actually does something extra for the community. Don't you want the dough you fork over to do something productive? Well, this time IT WILL.
In other words, give a care! And see some great bands while you're at it! Plus, your wristband will get you discounts at Carly's Bistro and Lost Leaf. And let's face it, you can't pass up a discount in this day and age.
Hope to see you there.
Thanks!

hey josh! it's been way too long. what are you doing the weekend of may 24? i'm gonna be in phx for my nephews birthday. we should hang out, hell go get some drinks and catch a d-backs game. a lot of catching up to do!
Yeah, that finish is awesome! Definitely don't change it! I just got Connor a Squier for Christmas. I haven't played it (I'm a lefty), but it seems like a pretty good beginner guitar. Hopefully he won't thrash it before he learns how to play it! ha. Anyway, I like your vintage gear blogs...it's awesome that you know how to restore that stuff!
