Holy shit flashback to stoned weekends with my high school friends discussing how the fuck he ever had a career in comics, let alone being among the Image "hot shots."

I like comics in the passerby sort of way. Basically only interested in what friends recommend.
I love Jame's Stokoe's artwork. His Godzilla looks awesome and Orc Stain is an awesome book.

According to the gram, this is soon. I don't know how other people's GAS works but if this comes out before other stuff...then I'm getting this. Activate instant gratification!
I waited on the Dream Sequence though and got it for way less than retail. I kind of want to do that for this but I als know I can use this immediately for that album I am not working on and not recording.
I think the lack of midi will lead to people selling it quickly. Same with no volume knob. These are not issues for me, namely midi (I don't use it on pedals, I get it, but I personally can't be bothered with it).
I think this coupled with the Geiger Counter Pro will be an unreal (and expensive) combo...for anything...guitar, bass, synth, contact mics, vocals, farts, queefs...you name it.

How do you know it doesn't have midi? I don't see the top of the pedal anywhere and all the info has been super vague. Also the Dream Sequence doesn't have a volume knob either really.

Top of the pedal is visible-ish in the pic in the OP... also no labeling (as for the power and EXP jacks)...

I don't think so buddy. It does seem odd though right? Usually once a manufacturer has their 'design', in this case the dream sequence, they kind of stick with it for succeeding products.
Maybe the codes for this one made it more complicated? I'm not a computer scientist but that would not make sense to me in the implementation of midi.

I've made 3 trips to Nashville since Sept '15, so I'm definitely no stranger to those parts. My best friend moved out there to get his PhD at Vandy (since quit to do music; he hangs w folks in Linear Downfall, Butthole, and Skoolgirl if you're familiar with them) so I make it a point to go visit him fairly often. He, too, has quite the gear collection. I'll definitely let you know next time I'm in town

The Pale King was really, really good, though.
Lol I started reading 1 year before I seriously read it and only got 100 or so pages in. When I picked it back up I just started from somewhere around there
I've only read selections from The Pale King (the 100 page one in the middle about how the guy joined the IRS was great). I've read a buncha his other works too; his nonfiction is stellar if you haven't looked into it.
This has now become the Infinite Jets discussion/Infinite Jest fan thread
I've been wanting to move to Nashville from Florida. I want to hang out with you guys.
Also I just bought Infinite Jest recently because my company gives me $5 gift card to Barnes& Noble for our birthdays. After 4 years I finally had enough of them to actually buy something. Figured I'd buy Infinite Jest because I can never finish it before it's due back at the library...
You should! There are a lot of people from Pensacola that live here.

Anyone ever read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality?
The premise is that Harry's mom, Lily, made her sister Petunia really pretty so she married a BioChem Professor at Oxford instead of Durnsley. So Harry is raised as a rationalist who used the scientific method to examine everything.
Here's a podcast version of it

My only issue with this is that it suggests biochem professors are rockstars who pull hot babes.
I will stake my reputation that this is not the case.

Yeah, god damn, I didn't think I'd be in to this, but it seems like it could basically be the rest of your band except for a drummer.
