Funky Sounds in the Bathroom or Love Loss in a Bathroom Stall

Tonight in Tucson (the land of enchantment), I'm going to go see Ben Kweller. My girlfriend (Meg) and I have decided that there would be no better time than to start our spread the funk grassroots gorilla marketing scheme. We'll be placing copies of CD-R's, with a song or a few songs off of Seven Car Pileup's eponymous debut album, in bathroom stalls at Club Congress. In addition, we'll be giving a few copies to Meg's sister Emily to hand out around the Tucson area. It's a completely random and cheap way to spread the music around. I'm sure we'll do the same thing in Phoenix as well. It's a random reason to go to some of my favorite venues around town. Don't be too surprised if a copy of it shows up at the Modified, Last Exit, Yucca Tap Roon, and Hollywood Alley. As well as various mall bathrooms, movie theaters... ect.

Revernd Guitars

So I've decided that I need a new guitar, more in the vein of the sound/style I'm growing to love. I want a mid-weight set-neck Double Humbucker. I would love something that looks like a Les Paul but a little different.

I think I'm going to get myself a Reverend. They're still enough below the radar that they're not overpriced yet, and they have some design attributes which makes sense for players more comfortable with Fenders but who want that Gibson sound.

I'm torn between the
Warkhawk II HBand the
Roundhouse HP (gold-top)Although I'm not dead set on a set-neck Their bolt on necks seem interesting enough.

The Jetstream just might be the one which would do the job.
Reverend has a dealer in Scottsdale, Guitar Gallery, and as well Rainbow guitars in Tucson sells them as well.
