No, I played guitar in one of the encore songs but laid pretty low stage left (your right). Pearl snap cowboy shirt. It's pretty fucking weird seeing a show that big from the other side.
I don't know how accurate this is, but we are apparently #10 in baseball revenue, with 7 SEC schools + Clemson + Gonzaga ahead of us. I'm not sure a rebuild will move the needle enough to warrant the expense.

I like the idea. A 3% shortfall on Christmas is a huge deal most years. Crank that to 10%? It would be brutal.
Unfortunately, it would cause a massive amount of collateral damage and wouldn't affect the main targets one bit.
I know they'll sell out, but a shit ton of their fans have already bought tickets for Stubb's and Mohawk. This might be one of the biggest non-festival "local" nights in years. (I'm considering Spoon as a local band, even though they aren't.)
LOL Joe is my hero. Smartest guy I've ever met. He pushed me way farther than I knew I could go, I learned half of what I know from him. Yeah, he can be a dick.
Sounds like every arrogant engineering professor.
I have worked as an engineer all my life. Most engineers are technicians -- they turn wrenches and draw shit. The ability to handle being wrong is anathema to them. Being wrong is part of innovation. I work with people who say "what if" as opposed to "this is". THAT'S where technology thrives, and it doesn't take a BS/MS/PhD in "Engineering" to get there. It just takes humility.
Update on cheap Squier Strat: it doesn't sound great, kinda thin. There's no point in keeping the body ($120) and building out a frankenstrat. I think this is going to go on the "give it to a nephew" list.
