I have found jetlag to be ok going to the USA-coming back is the tough one but in any event, have a great time. I may be going myself soon but it is all a bit hush hush.

I always thought TO was a geordie ex-pat with him wearing the Newcastle shirt all the time - he's a geordie but doesn't know it, that shirt is like a tattoo, it's in all his photos   :wink:  :lol:

To, if you've ever seen geordies on holiday you'd find this funny as I do - doesn't matter where you go in the world there will always be a geordie and they'll be wearing a Newcastle FC shirt, sometimes the whole family will be wearing 'em.

Thanx for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet up, gwEm! It's always great to meet the faces behind the text, as it were.

gwEm and I met up in Chinatown and then he headed up with me by taxi to our rehearsal studio.  We worked on the live set for an upcoming festival and then gwEm got to be 'treated' to a really rough new song which we played ad infinitum tryin to work out the kinks.

After rehearsal we retired to a local pub (Molly Wee) for a couple of pints & conversation. Unfortunately, at the tolling of the Witching Hour I had to start my return journey home.

A very fun evening and another forum alliance is forged!! \m/

Not sure what your plans are for the weekend, but if you want to meet on Saturday, you would be welcome to come over and play a few guitars.  Ben has all my details, but he said you are staying downtown.  To get to Hoboken takes 10 minutes on the Path from the WTC station.

yes, i made it in time to the art gallery.

but now i "need" a tele with black guards, a p90/alinco les paul custom and something with mini-humbuckers ;)

better start saving...

big up the NYC chapter of BKP, the friendliest guys you could hope to meet :)

we should be ashamed of ourselves here in the UK and get better organised with hooking up!
