At least there's always ILF for the gear bonarz and pedalboard geekery.

No one here will pull a slide-a-way. NO ONE.

I find that I usually am much more successful having gear and FX convos with guitarists. (although they're still usually pretty lame, mostly either just an M13 or 3-4 Boss pedals) Most of the bassists tend to react like this if I mention using FX:

I always assume bands are going to be as into their gear as I am with mine, but nooooooooooo. Last show I went to I started asking the dude about his board and he was all ummm.....


but when they do want to talk about it it's awesome. i just don't understand how you can use effects and not like geek out about them at least a little. i don't understand how people can do anything without geeking out. THERE'S SO MUCH INFORMATION IN THE WORLD, I WANT IT ALL.

Around here everyone I talked to geeks out about cars. I just smile and nod and pretend I have a clue what's going on. Then disappear into the bushes. I'm just gonna start busting out pics of my board to random people as if I were that annoying coworker who always wants to talk about his kids.

Absolutely mowing on grilled chicken and corn on the cob and realizing I could realistically move to some distant place like NYC, Austin or the Bay Area, etc. in about six months from now. I could even start looking for a job...

That's OK, there's so much effed up politically going on both at a state and national level, you can feel like you're in Wisconsin wherever you go..

TGP has become a place for me to be a dick to people when I'm in a bad mood.
So many easy targets, so little to care about.

One time I thought about starting an account there, basing the "character" on one of their archetypes, and then just talking shit about "myself." But maaaaan, not worth the effort.
