Aaa there were a lot of reasons I stopped posting at that other forum. I am guessing they are probably the same ones that brought this forum into being. Im still an instructor over there so there is not too much bad feeling, however rather than running on goodwill I think I want paying this time !
However. for the first time in a while, Im not too bitter !!!
Really nice to find this place. I had a look over the members list and nearly fell off my stool !
It has been a really hard year or so, we have moved from Iowa to the UK via Cardiff (man that was fun) and are now looking at clear skys and gentle waters round the Medway just out of London. So time to play some guitar and find some people worth recording !
and yes Guitar strings are 12 bucks a pack here !!!
Just as well I brought several boxes from Iowa !
PRS guitars go for about 7-14K !!!

Welcome to the Pub Simon! I'm so glad that you were able to make it over! Glad to hear that the move went well. Holy crap man! $12 for strings and 7K for a PRS???!! That's just crazy! btw, here's how I was woken up this morning... Tonja: (comes into the bedroom while I'm still asleep) You'll never guess who just joined the forum Me: (just woken up pause) I have no idea. Who? Tonja: Dr. Simon! Me: Sweet (then fell back asleep )

Damn dude, I haven't seen you around a lot either. Its a shame though, the forum is fairly dead compared to a year ago and so on. Its mostly new members asking questions or making polls.

Holy fuckin' shit, dude! REALLY glad to see you, man! Rask !! Hows it going dude ? How is the army ? Love it for the most part; I'm still considered an "Initial Entry Training" Soldier so those special rules that pertain to that are starting to get REALLY old, but I should graduate here before the holidays... I can tough it out a couple more months.

Na I have just been insanely busy.
I started a new job in Iowa last summer (Visiting Assistant Professor) which turned out to be shit and was going nowhere. So, I left before things got really ugly as I had landed a temporary job job in Cardiff Wales. This was also shit but payed for about 1/2 the move to the UK which is better than a kick in the head. So whilst totally not enjoying being in Cardiff I landed a permanent tenured job at the University of Greenwich in Medway, which is where we are now !
And its great !!!!
so, Im a happy SImon again and finally have some time to do musical stuff again ! Hooorah !!

Its not going at all actually, its summer, love. But I'm continuing my adventure on Monday... not today that is... but yeah. And its going... expensive and thats about all the emotion I have towards it right now. Hopefully one day I will be rewarded with a hefty salary that I will use to pay off my student loans. How is the life of simon going?
