Music

Links go to Amazon but they should be available at Best Buy too.

• Ian Hunter, Shrunken Head (CD)
• Tom Verlaine, Songs And Other Things (CD)
• Soundtrack Million Dollar Hotel (CD)
• Sonic Youth, Rather Ripped (CD)
• Pete Townshend, Music from Lifehouse (DVD)

Both my guitar amps are broke. I was hoping to find a nice amp for $100 but there is nothing good until you hit $200. My personal salesman at Sweetwater Music is Brian Cravens He suggests and I concur that a Vox AD15VT is the way to go. Their Sale Price is $200 (free freight) although this is very good I have reason to believe the price could go as low as $159 if you'd like to try to negotiate. Their competition Musician's Friend was offering a 15% customer appreciation on any one item for a cost of $169+free Freight.

Clothing

• Blue Jeans (32x32) blue, tan (FleetFarm)
• white athletic socks
• white briefs
• white Stafford long-sleeve dress shirt (15/33) for my suit. Shane Orr said JC Penny's has them with a stretching button hole so it doesn't feel like you're being strangled.

I'd like to get a DSLR someday. If I got one for Christmas I could shoot better Christmas photos and take it along to Disney World.

FYI, "Our 70,000+ sq. ft. Superstore is located on the West Side of Manhattan at 420 9th Avenue between 33rd and 34th streets. We are easily accessible from all areas of New York and the surrounding vicinity. Penn Station and Port Authority are nearby, while the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels are straight runs down 9th avenue or straight across 34th St. Several subways stops are also within close proximity to our front door. If all else fails, every cab driver worth his tip knows how to get here."

Movies

• I thought about a Netflix Subscription but they're too expensive.
• Cash Wise Video gift certificates
