So what'd they say about doing their Iowa residency?

Is that a theremin?

Edit: Andrew Bird whistling?

I love the lap steel on this.

How appropriate.

Those are some spectacular posters, wow!!

Looks like it may be cloudy here tonight

Hurray, congrats to you!

Now that's some quality photoshopping right there. Well done

Beautifully done!

Thanks

My vote still stands, despite other viable options.

I think this historical painting ought to settle any dispute here. The "good smells" lines coming off the chili indicate the absolute quality of the Jefferson recipe.

Definitely Jefferson. On top of having the right ingrediants the guy was a wine snob, so he must have had a good nose/palatte. Plus the dude wouldn't want to be shown up by some other lesser president. No doubt Jefferson would waste at a chili cookoff.

I don't know I think Iowa would make for a great residency location

I've met a nice handful of VCers. Excellent people all around. Had a beer with M. Bed, Speed Racer stayed over at my apt. for a Jandek show, met up with Ms. Yvon after a pair of shows, saw Fickerson and of course Derek Phillips at a Riviera show back in the day in Iowa City, talked with Kidsmoke a bunch before the Davenport show, met LouieB, Samorama, and a handful of others in Chicago at the hideout...there's a good handful more that I've either briefly said hello to or seen at various venues. I'm pretty easy to spot, so come and say hi if I'm at a show...or if you're passing through Iowa and you need a place to stay and/or recommendations on Des Moines/Iowa City food I may have a few pointers.

Have a good one

Wooo happy birthday!

This is excellent.

Party it up birthday boy

Have a really great one!

Have teh awesomest of birthdays

I'd get it. For one I love Jazzmasters and playing electric, but for two and probably equally important the vintage Jazzmaster is going to be harder to come by in the long run and you probably won't have the same opportunity getting that guitar. An '06 Gibson is a little more replaceable if you get a hankering to get another one down the line.

Happy birthday man

This is exciting news. I kind of wonder what the "new" album will sound like.

Happy birthday!
