Off Topic Officially "on the dole"......DAMMIT!!

[RitchieDarling]

Well, I'm officially on the dole.

They closed the doors for good this morning at 9:00am

On a lighter note, I've had offers from two bands.

In the "insult to injury" department, I'm bass-less.

This years is really sucking so far!

I'm sorry to hear about what's happened to you over the past few months. I hope you can get back on your feet soon enough.

In the interim, that you're getting offers from bands to join is encouraging. Even though it may not be Music Man, you could probably find a quick, reliable, and inexpensive bass and join up. We bass players are always in demand.

Good luck.

Ritchie email beth and we will take care of the bassless problem....it will be a second or a warped tour demo but you are our friend and this is what you do for friends. Dont be picky and you will have a gift from the team at EB.

 

[MingusBASS]

Wow, BP. That's really cool.

Ritchie, i suddenly see 2009 getting better now for you

really cool gesture!

 

[Big Poppa]

not doing it to be cool.

Everybody remember when Azzy had to get rid of her stuff and Ritchie came to the rescue organizing a rally so she could keep her and her husbands Music Man's? Guess what I remember and I believe karma is a good thing. Ritchie did something that he didnt have to do...he extended himself for someone in need. This is so easy to do and Ritchie I hope you get that this could be the first godd event in a series of good things. As George Harrison said ' All things may pass'

 

[Caca de Kick]

That really sucks to hear Ritchie. Hopefully things look up very soon.

Just as I was reading that, I was thinking of offering you to borrow my blue dawn, but it looks like BP made a very kind offer. Wow, that is so great!

 

[AtomicPunk]

Ritchie, hope you are rockin' a EBMM again very soon.
BP = classy.
I'm looking for a job too and know how much it sucks out there, keep your head up and stay strong!

 

[kbaim]

Hey Ritchie, hope things quickly get better
Sterling, when your kindness touches one of us, it touches all of us

 

[Smakbass]

Hey Ritchie good luck with things man.

 

[oddjob]

Ritchie, hope things turn around quickly. Shoot me an email if you need anything.

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Good luck in everything you do Ritchie, though I don't know you and your past, judging by what BP spoke of you, you are a man with his heart in the right place and as BP kindly came to your rescue, this doom and gloom has already taken a turn for the better for you.

Oh and BP..... bloody hell man you made me all weepie eyed here, that was a very heart warming gesture you did. Respect!

BP & Karma

BP not only does Karma come and go around, but so does good will and human empathy, which of course all relates to karma. Class company, right on.

Need an amp, Ritchie?

 

[Sweat]

WOW, thats too cool, nice BP and crew, this place never ceases too amaze me

 

[nashman]

When one door closes - another one (or two) opens. Hopefully this will be a temporary set-back that provides opportunities for you.

I knew the folks on this forum would support you. That's what is special about this forum, BP and EBMM. Where else would this happen ?!?!

Stuff like this makes me proud to be member of this forum. Keep your head up, Ritchie!

OMG! BP, I don't know what to say. I'm seriously choked up right now!

I got an email from Beth. I thought she was gonna keep her eyes open for a good deal on a used one.

I had no idea it was anything like this!

I'm speechless.....and that's rare!

Thank you! Thank you all sooooo much! You guys are the best!

The best company ever! The best people! And the best pals!

I gotta call somebody! ..............................................

Ok, called Stanky! I hope I didn't freak him out too much.

BP, you don't know how much I appreciate this.

How much I appreciate your generosity. You and your crew are a 100% class act.

And I thank you.

All the best, Ritchie

(Sorry if it sounds corny. I'm just totally flabbergasted!)

 

[Duarte]

Oh man this is like a very touching movie...love it pops.

Ritchie, your luck is already starting to turn!
