Awesome! But did they spell Dream Theater wrong?

EDIT: I was talking about the image and now it's gone!

Well, if they had it as Theatre, it's wrong anyway, because it's a name, devoid of location/boundaries.

I'm jealous of you Chicago-ins...ers...whatever.

Enjoy it Chicago-ites, I had the pleasure of being able to attend the JP/Big Poppa clinic in NYC last year.

Wish I could attend... Come to the south! Atlanta would be close enough! I am seeing DT end of July in Asheville though, so that's cool, but not as cool as a clinic with JP and BP!

Might have to stop by and check it out!

How long do they usually last?

On behalf of myself and everyone who came, I'd like to say thank you to Sterling & John and everyone involved in making it possible! I must admit that I anticipated a bit more of a sales pitch, and wasn't sure if it'd be worth the trip... Well it certainly was worth the effort to come out! Not only that but I think I may have decided what my next axe will be... See Sterling? less IS more :cool:

I'll post what few pictures I have later this evening. Was able to get my RG's headstock signed by John, and the Q&A session was really great! Everything was talked about.. from DT's mentality on the upcoming album to.... well what John's Bicep workout is. John, on that note, what supplements do you use? :D Hopefully someone else out there took some video, and if you have please post a link!

Thanks again for an awesome night!

Andy
