    Lately when my guitar player and I open the show with an acoustic set... we call ourselves a random name...

    If you guys have some ideas, I can use that for the next show.

    It'd be pretty cool if you could get a girl in a dominatrix out fit to put on a strap on and a cowboy hat for the cover.


    IMHO get a nice rug if you plan on not wearing shoes and don't step in wet spots if someone spills a beer. or you'll get massively shocked.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    I could wear the shirt from the Onion my friend gave me for my birthday...

    it says: "Your favorite band sucks."

    Always a hit... or my "Still Pissed at Yoko" t-shirt... also a fan favorite.

    My friend has a t-shirt that says "GOT MILK" and every time he wears it when he plays, he gets flashed.

    I was thinking about that million dollar boyish smile you have, but okay, we'll go with that. But I'm with ex. on this, eww, unless we're talking private show.

    we'll thank you. I actually was a stunt double for Chris Farley during that skit with Swazye on SNL. :)

    I've dropped a few pants sizes since then.......

    So maybe that pirate shirt w/spandex pants isn't out of the question? j/k.

    well, I also wore just a speedo in a four mile/five beer cross country running event... well, I had shoes on too.

    So, I am not opposed to "flashy" clothing.

    Hey House come here, closer so I can whisper in your ear. Did you hear that, did you feel that, do you now see that. Next time don't wear spandex. ha,ha.

    Just have fun, wear whatever makes you comfortable and relax.

    It was a good one... I will let you know when the mp3s are available... we got a soundboard recording of the whole show...

    Black went well I think... and I Got Shit was solid...

    We had a three song encore of Come Together, Hoochie Coochie Man, and Rockin' in the Free World... I had to deny a Ledbetter request... my voice was done.

    I wear a black T-shirt (which I end up taking off), and jeans... either torn, ripped, or filled with patches. Work shoes, one-stars, and some stuff for my wrists. And my rings... one for the middle finger and another one for the ring finger.
