I'm Alive

[phatduckk]

Hey guys what's up?

Yup ... i know I've been MIA but I have been lurkign around a bit here and a bit there.

I just got horribly busy (my own doing). I have been playing - so you guys don't need to worry about that. In my new found busy life playin bass has kept me sane

Victim Nation (my band) is all good. We've been practicing etc and have a couple gigs coming up soon. One of them is an Emergenze gig in SF on 2/17 at 11:45pm. Looking forward to that ... they have a baclkine ready to go so its gonna be nice to go to a gig just carrying a bass and not having to lug the 98 lb SVT head. LOL

So, im all good. What's kept me away and so damn busy (besides my job and my band) has been the fact that I started my own ".com". It was a hellof a lot of work but my site is finally up and alive and I've taken this last week "off" and not doing any work on it ... just monitoring how things are going. It will probably need my attention (obviously) but the initial "big push" is done ... its cool and a releif.

So that's the state of the DuckK. Thought I'd pop in and say "hi". I'll be around, again, from now on

I'm still eagerly awaiting my HS Sterling ... last update I had was that (s)he's gonna be ready at the end of this month so I'm very excited about that. YAY

Con gratulations ... but ...
wots the point in telling us you've got a brand new dot.com if you don't tell us the URL ???? don't you want us to celebrate with you ??

Just include it in your profile I guess

Wassup, Phat! Welcome back, you quack.

 

[phatduckk]

well, I would be happy to telle everyone the URL but i dont wanna "spam" BP's board. If someone at EB says i can post the URL I will, otherwise PM or IM me and I'll hook you up with a link (its safe for work content).

I just dont wanna disrespect EB by plugging my non-music related stuff on their board w/o permission.

k ... since, jack's granted me permission.

here's a quick explanation of the site:

The site's a review site where you can vote and review anything from cars to movies to food to basses. If you wanna vote on something that isnt on the site you can add it yourself. You can read your freinds' reviews, comment on em etc. its actually pretty adictive ... just ask Dr Stank.

anywho ... here's the link: The Awesome List

[Dr Stankface]

Good to see you again, Arin! I'm about to check out your new site.

 

[phatduckk]

thanks for the warm welcome back guys ...

truth is i saw shamus' post numbers and i couldnt let him beat me. LOL

ya - being busy sucks. i hated it. even tho im done with the main core of writing the site there's still a crap load of babysitting etc to do but at least thats only a couple hours a day

 

[phatduckk]

just a quick note about the site ... since it is a review site basses and guitars are fair game too. theres a small mm section if you guys wanna express your views on those: http://www.theawesomelist.com/tag/musicman

 

[Big Poppa]

phatty baby Im bookmarking this site........

 

[phatduckk]

thanks BP ... hey in all honesty .... see the banner ad at the top of my site? well, that does me NO GOOD (its just filler). if you (or someone on staff) sends me a banner in the same dimmension (468x60) ill put it up there if you wanna promote EBMM, any of the events you sponsor, CLB auction etc.

that space is all yours pops ... just send me an image and what you want it to link to.

 

[phatduckk]

i see people on my site doing a search for "women" try searching for "hot chick" instead or goto: http://www.theawesomelist.com/tag/hot-chick

Hey Phat, where's the "AWEFUL" button? Really. Some things just can't be described with terms of some of awe - they take the cake!

 

[TSanders]
