And for the record, playing the stick HAS gotten me laid, and I am far from a great player.

In fact my current GF first met me at a gig I was playing.


I met some girlfriends thanks to gigging with the Chapman Stick twice. And twice, they left because of the Chapman Stick :mrgreen:

The Caprenter Touring Organ was new to me. I guess for those days when the Jon Wanamaker Organ doesn't fit in the truck. (http://www.wanamakerorgan.com/about.php,
check the pics down the page).

As a once impressionable young organist, I'm looking forward to Emmett's designs in this department. Perhaps some bigger strings on the back of the stick and some serious stomp box support. Heel toe everyone! (Kidding, btw).

As with anything else, it all depends on who you are and how you comport yourself. I have known some fugly dudes who were desperately nerdy but who repeatedly stunned us all when they went home with nice-looking chicks.

Speak well, and make them laugh, and even folks like (insert your favorite stickist here) will get laid.

Damn, I could have started a 20-page thread right there. Sigh.

Wee! Self Deprecation!

If any of you haven't seen that Cameron Carpenter Touring Organ thing, it's really really really funny how highly he thinks of himself, and/or how bad at acting he is. Do watch for a laugh.

That is Cameron Carpenter. John Carpenter is too badass for such puffery:

I was going to leave a comment on the "journos" website, then I thought naaaaaah... Leave that to kids who live on FB.

My only thought..

"Nowadays everybody wants to talk like they got somethin to say but nothin comes out when they move their lips just a bunch of gibberish, mother pluckers act like they forgot about Dre`"

I saw that, simple slip! Quick enough to fix it before anyone posted, but not quick enough to escape being noticed ;)

Carpenter's "THE THING" is the best horror movie ever made. Until Del Toro makes "At the Mountains of Madness," the movie will remain the closest thing we have to the spirit of a Lovecraft story.

Heh, Rob said "puffery."

Can I use that, Rob?
