Yeah, I know the mustache looks like crap, but the store was out of 'em, and there wasn't black in my stage makeup kit.

Since I'm the Ebenezer Scrooge of Halloween, I stayed inside and played TF2 on the OWSGC servers.

We had a grand total of 6 trick-or-treaters this year. (Maybe dure in part to our road, which is pretty scary at night when you're a kid, and partly due to the stranger with candy in Chelsea the media hyped up during the 6 o'clock news.

Heh, I have the very same strat... same color, too. I think I got it for about the same price, but with no amp. It wasn't used, though, it was a floor-model with a small chip in the paint near the bridge...

Well, he used a strat on two of the studio albums. I think he did a full record on one.

Squiers arn't as bad as people say they are. I have a MIM Fender Strat, which plays superb, and I have a Squier Special Buller II(only 1 humbucker in the bridge, 1 volume knob[like the tom delonge strat]), which i picked up for $50 used a month or so ago, and I think it plays nearly as well. The volume pot is mostly a blank spot, but its ok. The pickup could obvoiusly use a better one, and the wood is still really nice. I say, whatever feels best when you play it is the best guitar.

Well I went to a Halloween party on the 31st. It was fun. I had a very lack-luster constume, I was a coffin salesman. I would have been an orangutan, but masks were discouraged, and I was able to parade my 3' and 18" coffins around with a small catalog I made.

Actually, both John and George used matching pale blue Strats to record the album Rubber Soul and some bits of Sgt Peppers so the outfits not to far off.
