I'd like to say that it doesn't happen very often that we're all wearing the same clothes. But that wouldn't be true. Happy Meat Night, everybody!

HMN
Happy Meat Night 2007 was filling as always! Smoked ribs, grilled ribs, Iowa pork chops, bacon wrapped shallots, hamballs, buffalo burgers, sausages, king crab... A veritable smorgasbord orgasbord. As usual, Roscommon was taking great pictures, so I'm going to just link to his post and pictures.

Guitar projects
Updates of recent guitar projects:
The black JM relic replica recently got a few upgrades as I'm hoping to get it in top shape so I can sell it on da Ebay. I replaced the fender tuners with the more accurate tuners with gold machines and pearl knobs. I ripped out the pickups and replaced them with Fender Custom Shop Vintage 57/62's, which are also underwound for the JM sound. I reliced the pickguard, knobs, and pickup covers (which I may need to switch to mint green, you can tell they aren't the same color). I wetsanded and buffed out the finsish again to make it glossy, then took these sexy shots to go with the Ebay sale.

The '64 Replica: This is my newest project and one I'm planning on keeping and playing for a while. Its based on a vintage 1964 strat. The body is a thin nitro finish (Highway One series) sunburst. I wish the burst was a little lighter/yellow-er, but whatcanyado. The neck has yet to be purchased, but will be the same vintage amber tint as the Relic but with vintage chrome Kluson tuners as a '64 would have. I'm hoping to get a neck with taller frets, say, 6105. The pickups came out of the Relic, Fender CS Fat '50s. I love the sound these guys get. I wetsanded the forearm area to replicate years of wear... the pickwear above the neck pick will come with time. I tried to fake it on a test strat, and it looked god awful. I plan on relicing the neck a little when I get it as well to match the body.

Ministry of Magic
In anticipation of the upcoming movie and book, I share this link with all my muggle audience. These guys are from Ames, and two of them I used to work with at HP. I used to talk Harry Potter theories at the bars with these guys, and hope to hit up the midnight showing with them next week as well. Their wizarding rock band was featured with a few others on a MTV segment on the wizard rock phenomenon. The techno-based music is actually really really good. Inspirational.
