Yup, Philly.

Also...All my amps have broken. Anybody wanna help me out with acquiring a cheap replacement? I have small amount of money, and two expensive-ish heads that can be fixed, but I'm just in the middle of this tour and need something that just works.

Sonny's got a PA100 head (skully's old one with the stained headshell) that he'd probably sell you, hit him up!!! He'll be at my house saturday afternoon, which is coincidentally only 20 minutes off the path to philly from richmond :thumb:

:edit: Also on your way to philly (less than ten minutes off the highway) is our local used instrument megastore Atomic Music http://www.atomicmusic.com if you walk in there and tell them your on tour and have X amount of cash they will get you into a new amp or cab or both if necessary, they fucking rock.

Awesome! I have a friend that's actually going to just trade me cabs because the speakers I just put in are under warranty. So I'll have that, and I guess I'll just get a cheap head to finish tour.

Shit thats a godsend for ya!!! If you go to atomic go in there and scout out any amps you like in your price range and then approach them with the hey I'm on tour and only have this much cash can you help me out and theres a 99% probability they will. They give pretty steep discounts for cash transactions.

How'd it go? More fun than home improvement projects, I trust.

Had a blast hanging out with everyone.
Played drums for the first time!!
Didn't take many pictures, but here is what I got:

Brought all of these pedals but were too busy jamming and having fun to even use any of them haha
Image

Sonny met up with Donny and licked the Dope Priest before giving it back to me
Image

Sonny brought a ton of amps and took them all out of his car and said they were ours. He'd acquired them all earlier in the day.
We found out that whoever had the Line6 before Sonny had put a switch on the back in the wrong position. After we switched it back, it worked fine except for the speakers being blown.
The Peavey just had a loose input jack which I resoldered. How many amps do you know with a THRASH button?
Image

Skip's wall
Image

Skips wall and my heads. My cabs were up on a table
Image
Image

That's all I got picture wise.

Here's the jam with me on drums (first time!!), Skip on guitar, and Grr on bass:
