Hey, onstage representation with the EB shirt is what matters, right? ;)

I got a phone call that my camera was in good hands after the escapades 11/05 so I went down and picked it up from my friend's place, and the pictures were still on it!

Good time was had by all, and I even remembered a few notes to play/sing :D

Not as many funny faces as at the same gig last year, tho!

I dunno pete. You're looking pretty comfortable up there with that strat...


And what's that guy with the tamborine in pic #2 about to do down there, anyway?
We thank you for not posting pictures of that!

The Strat actually has the nicest setup/playability I have ever encountered on a Fender. It's still not the way I like my guitars, but sometimes you must sacrifice comfort for pleasure. Of course, the guy with tabourine is the owner of it, and I keep trying to convert him to EB like the bassist.

Sorry, Kim didn't get any pictures of him going down all the way to hit the "clean boost" on his pedalboard for my solo. :p
 
Cool pictures, Pete!
The important thing is that you were playing. Doesn't matter what brand was.

Besides, it's nice to know how the other half feels, doesn't it? ;)
 
Hey man, looks like it was a lot of fun. HOWEVER, the last picture is a bit disturbing when I look at your fretting hand. It looks like all your fingers were CUT in half and you're just playing with the stubs. PLus your thumb is in front of the fretboard and not behind the neck :confused: . Just found that to be disturbing for some reason lol.

I'm polydactyl, it's not my thumb, it's an extra finger that gets in the way - check the avatar ;)
