Greetings from the far reaches of Chicagoland

Post by Sinical »

Actually, more like cornfields.

I enjoy long walks on the beach, and sharing my dreams for the future. :D

I've been playing for..........24 years (had to count that up), have worked retail, and now am a sysadmin guy specializing in virtualization, remote computing, and Linux. But I also work for/with a guitar shop in IL, both at the shop super part time, as well as helping with Internet marketing ideas and general technology stuff.

I'm a Mesa Boogie fanboy. If anything, that I can be accused of. Everything else, I try to be as open-minded and objective as possible. ;)

EDIT

BTW, I was on RT and HCAF as polaris, but those forums seem to have kinda fizzled out, for some reason. Love seeing some familiar names around here! Looks like all the good folks from HCAF, which is awesome.

And then only rarely.

She does sell quality tubes at good prices though. Check out Valve Queen if you need tubes.
