Poppa Does Dallas

[Big Poppa]

OK So Im on the road with Anthony Kim and while he practices I go on adventures in the guitar world.

First off I went to the Guitar Center on North Central Parkway. Nice clean store and I was shocked as they recognized me.....there goes my super secret stealth spying! THey dont have a platinum room but a lot of basses and a coupla guitars buried in the wall. Really nice guys.

I think they like black and natural
Now to the Farmers Branch store...

What I loved is that these guys were a store full of energetic, knowledgable, and excited
about the business. They had really clean guitars and the Platinum rookm was just fantastic. Our stuff was well represented and they are the only ones not behind glass so you can play them. Here are some shots of the guys there

OVerall I think the GC experience is getting much better and stores like Farmers Branch are really great examples.

Now since Jack lives in Dallas I should go visit him and get some purple room second hand winstons.....Yeah he lives in Dallas......Dallas is a big city. It took awhile to get there and even though I wanted to see the first hand what a Texas Pool Party looks like
I could only stay for a short time...It was a blast

Note to other visitors of the purple room...dont let Jack sit behind you just before the camera click........

Then I did AK business and AK's coach knows the owner of the Texas Rangers so we went to the ball game....Beautiful Ballpark Five stars.....fun game

Off to New York to do the Early Show on CBS and Watch the Golf Channel playing with the Pro's tomorrow night...It was a blast filming it

Sorry I missed you BP. I went to GC yesterday but it was the Arlington store. Wish I had known you were in the area though, I would love to have said hello. I can see the ballpark from my house so you were close.

 

[Big Poppa]

Tomorrow morning for the early show I may just be in the background but I am on the golf channel show tomorrow

 

[glockaxis]

Sounds like a great time. Do tell us more about the Today Show episode.

Nevermind, you answered just as I typed my question. I'll have to check out the Golf Channel for the first time in my life.

Awesome, looks like your having a good time. There guitar center is completely different from the one we have in El Paso. We only have one JP (not BFR) and it's behind the glass, a bongo, and an Axis.

Hope you keep having a blast

Cheers

Looks like a nice time BP......................Hey, what station is that NBC, CBS???????????

 

[Smellybum]

Very cool Poppa, you planning a UK tour too??

My local store would be caught off guard to say the least!

Can someone help me here - The 6th Stingray4 from the left of the pic, is that an Autumn Redburst maple board with a matching headstock??

I can, yes it is, it is a used one but in mint condition, i dont play bass but when I was in that store a couple weeks ago I pulled it down to have a look, if i played bass I would have bought it,

I have been posting on the bass side about these stores, they are both nice but for lots of EBMM content the Farmers Branch one is where to go.

Ok - the DVR is set for the Early Show.

So what about the Golf channel? Which show? I'm looking at the schedule for tomorrow night (Eastern Time), and I see:

6pm & 6:30pm - Canadian Tour: Chasing the Dream
7pm - FedExCup Playoffs Highlights
8pm - Top 10
8:30pm - Golf Central
9pm - FedExCup Playoffs Highlights
10pm - The Turn
10:30pm - Champions Tour Learning Center

I agree...we need a BP on TV sticky.

BP,

When you're on the Golf Channel, don't forget the "Ernie Ball" T- shirt!!!

It's just what golf needs - a little punch, some distortion and lots of volume!!!

LOL

 

[Astrofreq]

Texas is the greatest country in the entire world. Speaking of baseball, I was supposed to throw out the first pitch at the Brooklyn Cyclones game on friday in my clone armor, but it got rained out.

 

[whitestrat]

When I read the title, I thought BP started venturing into porn... Hahahahahaha...

 

[rmh925]

Cool pics BP..Nice store been there once a few years back.

 

[Warg Master]

That's an awesome wall! The GC here has a few bases a JP7 BFR and a loaded JP.



Are you visiting any more Guitar Centers?
