The first of our four Monkey encounters was at the El Rey Theatre in LA, a fabulously renovated art deco theater from the 1930's that makes you think old time Hollywood. The five of us (Twifixx, ZAnyMouse, Twi-daughters Nicole and Megan, and me) got spots in the center right up against the stage, the perfect location for maximum Monkey enjoyment. As always, it was a highly energetic show with the very enthusiastic crowd dancing and singing along the whole time. Every time I see the Monkeys perform, I'm convinced that it was the best show I've ever seen them do and this one was no exception. Jackson learned some mighty fine new moves during his travels these past few months and the band clicked together better than ever.
In honor of my good friend kiTT (who I'm convinced is the originator of Jared's nickname "Mohawtie") and thanks to a terrific suggestion from 17foreverLisa, we made neon green signs to try to get Jared to choose "Mohawtie" as the improv song. His sister was in the audience and he went with her title of "weightlifting snowman," but at least we made Jerad and Jackson laugh.
At the autograph table afterwards, Jerad told us that he would have picked our song title if his sister hadn't been there. I'm sure Jackson could have come up with some very interesting lyrics for that one! When Nicole gave them the Mohawtie sign to autograph, Jared drew a cute picture of a fish on it and then jokingly stuffed the page into his shirt. I'm not sure why he did that, but it was pretty funny and then Jackson acted like he was afraid to touch it. When Uncle Larry signed the page, he asked Ben J. what "Mohawtie" meant and Ben told him that it was because "Jerad has a mohawk and people think he's... we'll... you know.... hot" and then he looked really embarrassed from saying that. I thought it was such a generous and personal touch for the guys to stay after the show for an autograph line when it was so late and they were clearly exhausted.
We've seen 100 Monkeys perform quite a few times now and it's hard to explain to people exactly what it is that keeps us coming back over and over again. I guess the best way I can put it is that it's a chance to escape from real life for a bit with my two best friends (and future commune co-dwellers) and our wonderful daughters to dance and smile with a group of multi-talented guys who are very easy on the eyes and seem just as happy to be there performing for us as we are being there listening to them. What's not to love?
And speaking of easy on the eyes... here's a favorite shot from one of the best magazine shoots EVER! I realize he's not a member of 100 Monkeys, but it just isn't right to leave him out of a TwiBite post.

P.S. Thank you to ZAnyMouse for naming my Monkey posts!

Story highlights
- Last season of "Smash" had a lot of interesting moments
- Creator Theresa Rebeck was replaced as showrunner of the series last spring
- New showrunner says he's not making severe changes
The first season of NBC's "Smash" was full of much-discussed moments, including a truly loony Bollywood fantasy dance number and a musical number set in a bowling alley.
Well, "Smash fans", don't expect these flourishes when season two of the Broadway drama premieres on February 5 at 9 p.m. "There's no bowling alley sing-alongs," executive producer Joshua Safran tells EW in his first interview since replacing creator Theresa Rebeck as showrunner of the series last spring. "There are fantasy sequences, but so far not on the level of the Bollywood cover."
Also gone this year are Debra Messing's fortune-teller wardrobe of chunky scarves and sweater coats, the target of much online chatter. "Coming into a show second season where there was so much discussion about positives and negatives about the first season gives you that rare chance to step back and go, 'What can I change?' So we were able to [revisit] things like the scarves. We address it head on."
But Safran wants fans to know that the changes he's making are not that severe and this will feel like the same show. Says the producer, "As a viewer, I really loved the show. It's literally just reaching in and moving the tiny pieces that weren't connecting, the gears that weren't fully aligned. But it's small shifts. If you loved Smash last year, you are not seeing a radically different show. And that was important to me because I loved Smash last year."
For more of EW's exclusive interview with Safran on season two of Smash, including Jennifer Hudson's role and the series' new musicals, pick up the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly on stands now.

Close your eyes and think of the most fashionable country and western star you know. Is he wearing a shaggy beard, long braids, a bandana, or maybe a cowboy hat, and short shorts?
Fashion designer John Varvatos has chosen that man, Willie Nelson, as the face of his new campaign. The 80-year-old star and his sons Lukas and Micah talk about things like music, long hair and grandbabies while playing guitar together in a three-minute video for johnvarvatos.com.
I'm not sure what any of this has to do with selling clothes, but it's certainly fascinating. In a portion of the clip Lukas and Micah talk about growing up with their father on tour and their many "uncles," such as Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings.
I'm not sure about the clothes they wear, but those two guys had the coolest childhood ever. Take a look:

Kiss and Motley Crue to Join Forces for 2012 Summer Tour
Kiss and Motley Crue will team up for a formidable tour this summer, and based on what Crue singer Vince Neil is saying about the joint production, their respective road crews are going to have their hands full.
"It's going to be really cool because KISS is bringing their full stage show, and Motley will be bringing our full stage show," the world's newest strip club owner tells the Las Vegas Sun. "So you are going to see two huge headliners at the same time. It's going to be one of the biggest tours of the summer, if not the biggest."
It's hard to argue that, and we're dying to see these two masters of over-the-top stagecraft try to top each other. We're setting the over/under on flying musicians at three — at the very least, figure you can count on Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Tommy Lee to defy gravity at some point during the evening.
According to the article, an official announcement about the Motley Crue / Kiss tour should be coming sometime next week. Hmmm… perhaps that's why Kiss is scheduled to perform on the 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' show on Tuesday, March 20th?

Law student immersed in business development
Business is in third-year law student Christopher Attar's blood, and he's found an ideal training ground at Wayne State University Law School to enrich the entrepreneurial spirit that has coursed through his veins since he was a grade-school student.
He started working in his family's business, Golden Gifts Jewelry in Livonia, as a fifth-grader.
"I began with the jobs that nobody wanted to do — sweeping the floor, vacuuming, cleaning the windows and making phone calls," Attar said. "However, after a while, I began learning the fun stuff. I saw the intricacies of running a business. I saw the difficulties, but also saw the benefits and opportunities."
When he was just 13, he started his own small business.
"I would sell things for people on eBay for a small commission, which provided me the opportunity to start saving at a young age for other business ideas," said Attar, who lives in Farmington Hills.
Wayne Law's new Program for Entrepreneurship and Business Law (PEBL) is providing him with more opportunities to learn and hone his business talent — and to help others in the process.
This summer, Attar, who earned a bachelor's degree in business administration at the University of Michigan, participated in PEBL's new Entrepreneurial Immersion Program working with a small startup developing an LED light bulb, and last year, he participated in PEBL's Business and Community Law Clinic. Both experiences offered him hands-on legal experience with a variety of real-world businesses.
With the startup, Attar worked with WSU engineering student Tom Kim and others to help create a platform to market Kim's light bulb.
"My focus was on taking the startup from a group of people with an idea and a prototype to thinking about an actual business," Attar said. "I was able to talk to the group to lay out the general options for developing and selling the product, and the potential rewards and risks with each option. I found it very beneficial to work alongside people with different educations and experiences. I was able to create a more developed executive summary for the startup. The executive summary was created to explain the business and the product in a very concise form so that Tom and the group could use it as a 'teaser' to initiate contact with investors."
Attar said he found the new immersion program well-organized by Wayne Law Professor Eric Williams, director of PEBL, and he strongly recommends participation in it to other law students interested in business and entrepreneurship.
"You get to work right along with new, developing companies on strategic business work," Attar said. "We are actually helping with business, marketing and other areas of need."
Working with PEBL's Business and Community Law Clinic also gave him valuable experience, he said, and a chance to contribute to Detroit's economic growth.
"I had a chance to incorporate an LLC in Michigan, draft an operating agreement and provide a thorough evaluation of my client's intellectual property and FDA issues," Attar said. "I also, along with another student, was able to guide another client through the process of applying for 501(c)(3) status. Overall, the clinic allowed me to interact on my own with real clients who were starting real businesses, while also learning the technical and legal requirements for the documents I was drafting or the issues I was evaluating."
The clinic offers free legal services by students under the supervision of experienced attorneys to qualifying startups.
Williams said: "Part of our mission is to ensure that aspiring business professionals have the opportunity to participate in the economic revival of Detroit and surrounding suburbs. The culture of innovation, growth and entrepreneurship currently growing in Detroit, despite the city's current financial issues, provides a special environment for Wayne Law students. A vibrant Detroit is important to the entire state of Michigan, and forward-thinking, dynamic law school in the heart of Detroit is critical to its continued resurgence."

Lucille Ball, the leggy showgirl, model and B-grade movie queen whose pumpkin hair and genius for comedy made her an icon of television, died early Wednesday, a week after undergoing emergency heart surgery.
The co-creator and star of "I Love Lucy," a product of TV's Golden Age that continues via syndication to be viewed by millions around the world, was 77 and died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center of a ruptured abdominal aorta.
Known simply as "Lucy" to four decades of smitten television fans, she had undergone surgery at Cedars-Sinai on April 18 to replace part of her aorta and aortic valve and had recovered from the 6 1/2-hour operation to a point where she was eating and even walking around her hospital room.
Hospital spokesman Ronald Wise said the rupture occurred in a portion of the aorta, the main heart artery, far from where the operation was performed.
She suffered a complete heart failure at 5 a.m., and 47 minutes of resuscitation efforts proved fruitless, Wise said. "There was nothing to indicate this would happen," Wise said. "The heart itself apparently was not involved in Miss Ball's sudden death."
Since last week's surgery, fans had flooded the hospital with thousands of get-well cards, sent via telegram and even facsimile machine. Hospital officials said it was the largest outpouring they had ever seen.
Miss Ball was a tough-talking woman who had used her stardom and show business savvy to become, with her then-husband, the late Desi Arnaz, head of one of Hollywood's major studios, Desilu.
Despite her business acumen, she remained the unquestioned queen of television comedy. From her star-struck childhood through her struggles as a wisecracking movie actress in the 1930s and '40s to the television career that made her a legend, Miss Ball's life was in the best show business tradition of rags to riches.
Almost humbly, she liked to say she owed her enormous success, not so much to talent, but to a magical combination of guts and good supporting players. Her greatest achievements, she always would add, were not any milestones in her career but ranked somewhere under the birth of her two children, Lucie in 1951 and Desi Jr., two years later.
"I am not funny," Ball told an interviewer for Rolling Stone magazine in 1983. "My writers were funny. My directors were funny. The situations were funny. . . . What I am is brave. I have never been scared. Not when I did movies, certainly not when I was a model and not when I did "I Love Lucy."
It was "I Love Lucy," which premiered on CBS on Oct. 15, 1951, that earned Miss Ball her niche in television history. The 30-minute comedy starred Miss Ball and the Cuban-born Arnaz as the wacky Lucy Ricardo and her conga-playing husband Ricky. The show was a weekly dash into absurdity that boasted the biggest television audience of its time--of almost any time.
Stopped the Nation
In creating the show, Miss Ball and Arnaz—who died in 1986—set a pattern of television that was to be repeated in decades to come. They filmed the programs in front of a live audience and in doing so, invented the popular and financially rewarding rerun.
The show was so popular during the 1950s that it literally stopped the nation every Monday night from 9 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. In fact, nighttime shoppers became so scarce in Chicago that the mammoth Marshall Field department store posted a sign that read: "We Love Lucy, too, so from now on we will be open Thursday night instead of Monday." When presidential candidate Adlai E. Stevenson interrupted the show once for a political message, he was flooded with angry mail.
Even a charge that Miss Ball was a Communist, made by the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1952, failed to dent her popularity. The charges, based on her registering to vote as a Communist in 1936, were dropped when Miss Ball explained she had done so only to please her ailing grandfather. Millions of sympathetic fans and a pragmatic CBS understood.
A phenomenal 40 million viewers watched the antics each week as Lucy would always try to outwit Ricky. With their best friends and landlords, Fred and Ethel Mertz, played by veterans William Frawley and Vivian Vance as the perfect foils, the Ricardos found themselves mired in situations that frequently were rowdy and always ridiculous.
A generation of Americans grew to recap their favorite Lucy episodes, plot twist by crazy twist.
There was the time Lucy schemed her way onto Ricky's television show to do a commercial for a vegetable drink with a high alcoholic content and got hilariously tipsy during the many retakes.
Then there was the time she threw in two packages of yeast while baking homemade bread and ended up pinned against the wall of her Manhattan kitchen by a monster loaf.
And there was the time Lucy and Ethel, trying to impress their New York friends with the ultimate souvenir from a trip to Hollywood, pried loose the cement block containing John Wayne's footprints from in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater. Of course, the block broke.
Week after week, Lucy would find herself trapped in a vat of laundry starch, locked in a meat freezer, or lost on a subway with a loving cup stuck on her head. Her turmoils permanently positioned her in the hearts of most Americans, including the critics.
"An extraordinary discipline and intuitive understanding of farce give 'I Love Lucy' an engaging lilt," wrote New York Times critic Jack Gould. In its Lucy cover story, Time magazine said: "This is the sort of cheerful rowdiness that has been rare. . . . Lucille submits enthusiastically to being hit with pies; falls over furniture. . . . Tricked out as a ballerina or a Hindu maharani or a toothless hillbilly, she takes her assorted lumps and pratfalls with unflagging zest and good humor."
In a 1981 interview in The Times, even Miss Ball admitted, "I love Lucy."
"There were two key qualities to her," the comedienne said. "She was always in financial trouble—f she wanted a fur collar, a ratty little fur collar, she had to figure out a way to make some extra money to get it. . . . God, that's universal. And she always had a domineering figure over her. . . . Lucy was forever knocking somebody's top hat off."
Miss Ball's personal favorite episodes were filmed when she was pregnant with Desi Jr. An amazing 44 million viewers, 90% of the television audience, gleefully watched on Jan. 19, 1953, when she gave birth on film to the show's little Ricky. To the unabashed delight of a nation, it was the same night she had given birth in real life.
"I was so damned happy—just floating on a cloud—and I think the way I felt came across on the film," she said. "I loved doing all those pregnant shows."
Astoundingly, or so it seems in retrospect, early reviews of Miss Ball's talents gave little hint of what was to come. In fact, when she was a plucky 15-year-old looking for that first break on Broadway, Miss Ball was told by a drama teacher to give up. Luckily, the turquoise-eyed teen-ager ignored the advice.
Born to an electrician father and pianist mother on Aug. 6, 1911, in a suburb of Jamestown, N.Y., Miss Ball had set her sights on stardom almost from the first. By 5, the brown-haired little girl was taking music lessons. Each spring that followed she would head toward New York City, walking until someone found her and returned her to her home.
Leaving school at 15, Miss Ball finally made it to New York and the John Murray Anderson dramatic school. There was a brief stint in a Ziegfeld Follies road show and some short-lived appearances in a handful of Broadway chorus lines.
Changing her name to Diane Belmont ("I always loved the name Diane and I was driving past the Belmont race track, and the names seemed to fit together") she turned to modeling. At various times a dress model and a hat model, Miss Ball, with long legs peeking out the bottom of a oversized cigarette pack, ultimately became a "Chesterfield girl." America grew to know her on billboards, magazine ads and on posters in its drugstore windows.
Then in 1933, she headed to Hollywood. Her curly hair bleached a Jean Harlow platinum, Miss Ball was hired to work for six weeks in the chorus of Samuel Goldwyn's "Roman Scandals." Bit part after bit part stretched her stay to six months and she became a Hollywood fixture, taking second billing in the years that followed to everyone from The Three Stooges and Buster Keaton to Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. Along the way, she dyed her hair a fiery red and was given the unofficial title of "Queen of the Bs."
Reviewers noted her "pert presence" and talent for "rubber-faced slapstick clowning." She was described in one newspaper as a "slangy, breezy wisecracking gal with a bebop rhythm to her walk." Said another, "Pretty Lucille Ball . . . was born for the parts Ginger Rogers sweats over."
Playing the ingenue lead in the 1940 musical "Too Many Girls," Miss Ball met rumba singer Arnaz, cast as a Cuban football player. She later told an interviewer, "It was, at least for me, true love from the start."
Exchanging vows seven months later, the pair began what was for the most part a troubled marriage. All but three of their first 11 years of marriage were spent apart. With Arnaz traveling the country with his band and Miss Ball committed to Hollywood sound stages, the pair spent almost $30,000 on telegrams and long-distance telephone calls.
"We would end up talking on the phone—no, fighting on the phone," Miss Ball told interviewers. "You can't have a marriage over the phone. You can't have children over the phone. It became obvious that something had to be done."
What was done to salvage the marriage was "I Love Lucy."
Since CBS was stubbornly opposed to the idea of the heavily accented Arnaz playing the husband, the determined Arnazes created their own Desilu company and took a stage version of their show on the road to gauge public opinion. It was a smash, and television executives reluctantly gave "I Love Lucy" a time slot.
"I wanted our characters to have problems," Miss Ball said of her concept for the show. "I wanted to be an average housewife. A very nosy but very average housewife. And I wanted my husband to love me.
"CBS thought we were out of our minds to want to do it on film."
The episodes were filmed before a live audience by Academy Award-winning cinematographer Karl Freund, famous for his work on such films as "The Good Earth" and Garbo's "Camille." When the Arnazes negotiated to keep the films "to show our kids someday," few in the industry predicted what would happen.
"I remember (someone) saying, 'These films may be worth something someday,' " Miss Ball told The Times. "You should hang onto them. If Desi had that in mind, I never knew it. Maybe he knew he was creating the rerun but he never told me about it. All I knew was I was 40 years old and was having my first baby and I didn't want to do these shows and let them disappear into the air. I felt we could save the films for home movies. . . ."
Instead, in the years since the original 153 "I Love Lucy" episodes were telecast, they have been shown and reshown in virtually every country around the globe, earning an estimated $50 million to $100 million. Miss Ball's face was one of the most recognized on Earth.
But all of it was not enough to save her troubled marriage. To the horror of their television fans, Miss Ball and Arnaz were divorced in 1960.
"He (Arnaz) was like Jekyll and Hyde," she said years later. "He drank and he gambled and he went around with other women. It was always the same: booze and broads."
Breaking with the past, Miss Ball left Hollywood for New York and a starring role in the musical "Wildcat." The 1960 production floundered after only a few performances but during her stay in the East, she met stand-up comedian Gary Morton. They married in 1961.
Meanwhile, Arnaz and Miss Ball had sold their "I Love Lucy" films to CBS for $6 million and she bought her ex-husband's interest in Desilu, becoming in effect, the first woman to head a major studio. It was by then home to 18 shows, including such hits as "The Untouchables" and "The Ann Sothern Show." Friend Bob Hope called her business sense "startling."
"I never wanted to be an executive, but when my marriage to Desi broke up after 19 years, I couldn't just walk away from my obligations and say 'forget it,' " Miss Ball explained. "We were an institution. Life takes guts. If you don't take chances, you'll never bathe again because you might get dirty again."
Husband Morton said Miss Ball was blessed with an "innate business sense."
"When she was running Desilu," he said, "she made decisions affecting the future of the company that often amazed board members, not because they were coming from a woman but because time usually proved her judgment to be correct."
Among the shows Miss Ball tutored to success was her own "The Lucy Show," a series without Arnaz but with the same madcap clowning that kept her fans delighted. Among the guest stars attracted by the madness were Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, the most glittering couple of the day.
In 1967, with Desilu churning out a gold mine of televisions hits, "Star Trek" and "Mission: Impossible" among them, an exhausted Miss Ball decided that she had had enough. Gulf & Western Industries bought the property for a reported $17 million.
In place of Desilu, Miss Ball, along with Morton, launched the much smaller Lucille Ball Productions Inc. and in 1968, began filming "Here's Lucy," a series featuring Desi Jr. and Lucie.
"My life started when my children were born," Miss Ball said at the time. "I couldn't wait to work with them. . . . Even when they moved out of the house, they were still home at the studio. I liked that."
The series aired through 1974. With her children's careers off the launching pad, the comedienne, then 63, decided it was time to retire her legendary character. "The Lucy character is too old to run around like an idiot," she said in explanation.
That same year, she filmed her final motion picture, "Mame," a version of the Broadway musical. Although by now the world's best-known television star, as a movie star Miss Ball again received mixed reviews. Times critic Charles Champlin wrote, "The shame about 'Mame' is that it managed to deny us a Lucy to love."
With those final starring credits to her name, she settled into co-producing shows, making occasional television appearances and accepting one after another of a continual barrage of awards and tributes.
In addition to her 13 Emmy nominations (she won four), Miss Ball was feted in 1976 with a nostalgic television tribute saluting the 25th anniversary of "I Love Lucy." Danny Kaye was among those who gave testimonials during the two hours of reminiscing. "Calling Lucille Ball just a comedienne is like calling Margot Fonteyn just a dancer," Kaye said.
In 1984, when she was named one of seven initial inductees in the Television Hall of Fame, she credited the many "talented and creative people" around her for making her a legend. "I have been absolutely blessed," Miss Ball said.
Role as Bag Lady
The following year she took on one of the most challenging roles of her career: a bag lady in the television movie "Stone Pillow." She was hospitalized for dehydration when it was over, but it was a critical and ratings success.
Her last flirtation with television came with her ill-fated and short-lived 1986 series, "Life With Lucy," in which she again teamed with longtime sidekick Gale Gordon. It was quickly pulled by the network because of abysmal ratings.
Her final public appearance proved to be during the 61st annual Academy Awards ceremony on March 29 when she joined her old friend Hope as a presenter.
She had signed a contract with Putnam to publish her autobiography but died before she could begin work on it.
Tearfully sentimental when it came to her husband and family, she reveled in life as a grandmother and glowed whenever she talked of her children. Their struggles and early failed marriages seemed not to matter. While she always spoke fondly of Arnaz, Miss Ball claimed that she had found the perfect mate in Morton.
"He (Morton) takes care of me like I was his mother," she told an interviewer in 1981. "Gary gives me protection." On a scale of 1 to 10, Miss Ball said, "I rate my marriage to Gary a 12."
But to her countless television fans—from the postwar babies who adored her during the '50s to their children and children's children who roared at her antics through decades of reruns—it was always Lucy and Ricky. More than a quarter-century of marriage to Morton could not erase that. There was always the hilarious image of the redhead and "that Cuban bongo player," as Miss Ball affectionately called him.
Even years after the Lucy shows ended, the comedienne openly admitted to missing the characterization.
"After Lucy ended, I thought, 'I'll live a few more years and then I'll die," she said in 1983. "I didn't plan on living this long. . . . Now I miss her. . . ."

Was reading Esquire Magazine the other day and saw a brief interview with actor Willem Dafoe. Was struck by this quote:
All fanbases worry about their teams, whether they are successful or not so much. It is much easier to worry about your sports team's issues than it is to worry about actual life stuff.
Each off-season provides a different list of worry. What is interesting to me is that a lot of times the things you worry about as fans in the off-season are not the things that end up being problems.
Last season, Texans fans worried about switching to the 3-4 with little off-season due to the lockout. And it turned out that the biggest issues with the team were injuries to the big three: Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson and Arian Foster. They ended up playing less than four full quarters together. The offense that had been carrying the team in previous years was what ended up being carried at the end. Who predicted that for 2011?
Some times worries seem obvious and unavoidable as soon as you see the roster composition. The 2010 roster was catastrophic on its face. An all youth secondary? With an unproven defensive coaching staff and scheme? That wasn't a plan that was likely going to turn out well.
Injuries are predictable and not predictable. Predictable that you know they will happen in a violent sport. Not predictable in that you don't know what part of your team will be hurt the worst. Teams do their best to get quality depth, and just about every team with a competent starting quarterback is worried about significant injury at that position.
This year's Texans worry.
If last year's worry theme was transition to the 3-4, then this year's main worry theme is concern about the offense. A newly configured offensive line. Figuring out who the (2?) 3-5 wide receivers will be and whether they can pick up the offense quickly. Training up new fullback options. And endless discussion of the progress of Matt Schaub's foot. How these changes may affect offensive performance, if at all. And for fantasy football people in particular, will any of these changes affect Arian Foster's performance.
And it may be that much teeth gnashing will happen about these things and it ends up no big deal. Last year, the main focus was just the fullback position. And that ended up being fine. This year there's more transitions in the offense, but they have more time to deal with those changes due to no lockout.
Here's my guestimates about the key issues on offense:
Offensive Line. Think the offensive line will be fine. The Texans line coaching is among the best in the league. From position coaches to offensive coordinator to head coach, I think there's a great appreciation of line play. Think the fullback play will be fine too. May not be immediately as good as last year, but relative to the rest of the league, they will do well.
Matt Schaub's foot. I'm not a doctor nor am I Matt Schaub's doctor, but I'm guessing if they thought his foot would be an issue they'd work more on Plan B things this off-season. (Fantasy football players who picked up Dominick Davis /Williams in 2006 with the promise of the Denver offense type running back would not agree with this assessment).
Inexperienced Wide Receivers. The wide receiver position may be an adventure. This group of Texans coaches haven't focused a ton on developing wide receivers from scratch. From their drafted players, they had Jacoby Jones (3rd round) and David Anderson (7th round). Small sample size to look at.
Wide receiver, unlike running back, tends to take a little more time to develop. Learning the playbook. Being in the exact right place at the right time. If the wide receiver isn't in exactly the right place, it's a play that may not work, a ball that can get intercepted, a downfield block not made.
Here are two recent articles looking at wide receiver expectations for the Texans this season:
Boom or Bust: Should the Texans count on DeVier Posey? SI.com
NFL Draft 2012: What To Expect from DeVier Posey and T.Y. Hilton's Rookie Years, Nate Dunlevy, Bleacher Report.
Though I am sure that the Texans want their 3rd round pick DeVier Posey to excel and be an important part of the future for this team, I think it is best to look at the group of non-Johnson/Walter receivers as a group. And who ends up performing well in camp and getting opportunities. (Something to carefully watch and listen. There will be much parsing of what the coaching staff says about the different wide receivers' progress).
This group of wide receivers is going to be expected by the staff to grow up quickly because this is no longer a developing offense. Whoever figures things out the quickest, does what the coaches want, and survives camp in one piece are the guys who will get the opportunities.
The Texans are going to want wide receiver Keshawn Martin to excel quickly for his return abilities. You can call him just a 4th round pick, but Owen Daniels was just a 4th round pick who took advantage of his opportunities his rookie year.
Last year it was a down year in general for Texans wide receivers. Andre Johnson was the most high profile injury, but both Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones faced injury issues too. The Matt Schaub injury probably didn't help wide receiver numbers as the offense is then scaled back some and becomes more run focused. And the Texans defense played so well and got so many early leads that it allowed the running game to finish games.
Some young receivers are going to have opportunities with this team. Though Posey is the highest drafted one, I'm not sure the focus should all be on him.
Ultimately, I'm not sure it makes a ton of sense to talk floors and ceilings with these players based on their drafted position or extrapolate too much from their college performance. The Texans are less interested in who these players were and more interested in who they can be.
Look at the career stat lines of Bronco great Rod Smith. He's the perfect example of when a hard working player with skills happens to get matched with a great offensive situation. He was an undrafted player, who had already been released once. I'm not saying that any of the Texans inexperienced wide receivers are the next Rod Smith, but certainly this is an offense that a wide receiver can do great things in if given an opportunity.
Even so, the NFL is tough on rookie wide receivers, and hopefully not too tough on the Texans this year. This would be a good year for both Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter to not get hurt.
Worrying about things outside of football.
I am not going to tell you not to worry. I don't know what is going on in your life.
What I will say is that there is a lot of wisdom from the athlete cliché of not worrying about those things that you cannot control. The serenity prayer truly is a gift to both alcoholics and Texans fans during tough times.
Whenever I catch myself worrying about things, I say to myself, "Self, is worrying about this going to make it any better." If the answer is no, which it usually is, I try not to worry. And then a lot of times looking back the things I was ruminating about turned out not to be big deals.
If you are having a rough go of things, I hope they get better soon. Sports usually are a nice distraction except for those times I'm talking about worrying about real life stuff.
I leave you with this musical interlude. It is simple, beautiful, topical. From Dire Straits when they are being less dire, I suppose:
Anything you wish to add to this blog post? It rambles a bit. In the off-season, expect a lot of that.

When he was in second grade, he remembered even saying it out loud to his mother. If only into his pillow. "I'm lonely."
"What, Hon?"
He couldn't say it again. He kept his face in his pillow.
And she didn't ask him to say it again. She kissed him behind his ear. The spot she liked to remind him had always been her favorite ever since he was a baby, when she'd always been kissing him behind his ears. There was even a photo somewhere; she's holding him up to the camera. He is grinning a toothless grin, not yet lonely, and she is immersed in his skin.
When he'd visit back home now and sit at the table for a bowl of cereal, she still would kiss him there. She'd come up behind him, resting her hands firmly on his shoulders. She'd take some delight in that, his embarrassment, as he'd pull away.
Back when he first used that word, into his pillow, it had been about a particular moment out on that playground. When a kid had accused him of thinking he was cool when he wasn't.
From then on, he had tried to be funny instead, to make other kids laugh. As he still would try to be funny, though mostly around girls. So that they might want to go out on another date with him. The girl he'd gone out with last night, had laughed at his antics, but said she already had plans for next weekend. She'd been charmed. But clearly not enchanted.
So this is what it was like. Years ago, when he once threatened to run away as kids do when they don't get their way, his mother had offered to call him a cab – knowing he couldn't bare to leave home. And when he'd decided to stay, she'd spoken more firmly: "When you're eighteen, you can do as you please. Until then, you are to abide by the rules under our roof."
He wondered why a kid would ever want to run away when living under a roof of so much unconditional love. Because of just this – they couldn't foresee life out from underneath that roof. Another Sunday morning. When he might as well still be swinging from that single monkey bar.

Away from the football pitch, Carlsberg has recently launched what is probably the best shopping trolley in the world, working with car customisers Yiannimize to create a motorized trolley complete with an electric engine, a beer cooling system and satellite navigation.
Male shopping insights such as struggling to find the right food aisle, being forced to purchase warm crates of beer and struggling with wonky shopping trolley wheels have been addressed to create the ultimate shopping experience for the Carlsberg customer.
A standard ASDA trolley was revamped to feature alloy wheels, custom-built cooling system in the basket for beers, dashboard featuring an in-built digital screen, leather racing seat for style and comfort and a satellite navigation system.
On Tuesday 26th January, Carlsberg trialled the bespoke trolley at ASDA, Clapham Junction amid a selection of unsuspecting shoppers. Hidden camera footage captured amazed members of the public as the trolley was driven through the store, which you can see below.

Day 1 - Data Center Conference 2009
Visits (11199)
This week I am blogging from beautiful Caesars Palace hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada to report on what I see and hear at the 28th annual Data Center Conference. Today was simply registration, which opened at 4pm, and I was able to get my conference backpack, badge, and details of the week.
Already, I can tell there will be more people here, and it looks like the economy is on the rebound versus last year. Here are my posts from 12 months ago when I attended this conference in 2008:
This year, we will have the IBM Portable Modular Data Center (PMDC) with XIV and iDataPlex inside, as well as several subject matter experts joining me at the solution center. Look for us in the "Hunter Green" shirts.

More Like A Cul-De-Sac
Comment (1) Visits (10943)
I almost sprayed coffee all over my screen when I read this post from fellow blogger from EMC Mark Twomey on his StorageZilla blog titled [Dead End]. In it he implies that you should only consider storage technologies based on x86 technologies such as those from Intel, not other CPU technologies like POWER or MIPS.
When IBM first came out with the SAN Volume Controller in 2003, we were able to show that adding Intel-based SVC nodes can improve the performance and functionality of POWER-based DMX boxes from EMC. EMC salesmen often retorted with "Yes, but do you really want to risk your mission-critical data going through an Intel-based processor solution?" This FUD implied that Intel had a bad reputation for quality and reliability. The original Symmetrix were based on Motorolla 68000's but they modernized to use IBM's POWER chips in their later models. EMC's previous attempt to use Intel technology was their EMC Invista, a commercial failure. It is no surprise then that EMC DMX customers are scared to death to move their mission critical data over to Intel-based V-max.
I have found the primary reason people fear Intel-based solutions is their experience with poorly-written Windows programs. There were enough of these poorly-written Windows programs that everyone has either personal experience, or knows someone who has, and that was enough.
It reminds me of the time I was in Vac, Hungary, giving a lab tour to a set of prospective clients where we manufacture the DS8000 series and SAN Volume Controller. Rows and rows of beautiful Hungarian women sliding disk drives in place, and big hefty Hungarian beefcake moving the finished units to their appropriate places. The head of the facility explained all about the hardware technology, how we check and double check all of the equipment individually, and together as a system. One client stated "Yes, but how often are problems from the hardware? We find nearly all of our problems on disk systems from whichever storage vendor we buy from are in the microcode." It's true.
Both Intel-based processors and POWER-based processors have all the technological functions needed to run storage systems. The difference is all in the microcode. So, if you are looking for safe and stable microcode, the IBM System Storage DS8700 continues its POWER-based tradition for compatibility with previous models. For those that demand x86-based units, the IBM SAN Volume Controller has been around since 2003, the XIV Storage System has been in production since 2005, and our IBM N series are also Intel-based, running Version 7 of the ONTAP operating system.

800x art
the Justin Bieber teenpop anthem Smile apparently is the source material for Echoes Across the Astral Wastelands by Photon Wave Orchestra, a beautiful haunting 35 minute soundscape.
apparently, pwo applied a 800% slowdown to render their work. Burkazoid, a user on Audioboo, seems to have put the nail in the coffin publishing what he claims is 800% speed up of Echoes... of course, i am downloading my own copy to slow and verify and before the take-down notices appear :)
the questions here are explosive and a fascinating test of IP law and authorship. it is pretty obvious that the two pieces have completely different base audiences. i think one could even make the argument that the new piece is going to drive the consumption of both materials. i, for one, would have never listened to the poptart's song if it weren't for the discovery.
so if we were manipulated by leaked information to drive an internet meme, the music industry wins because they got me to listen to the consumerist lament(not to mention the free advertisement they are getting right now)! if the source of Echoes was never discovered, it would be a niche piece; listened to and appreciated by those of us who listen to the ambient genre.
my opinion: i believe Echoes Across the Astral Wastelands is a separate entity, influenced heavily by the pop music, and the existence of which 'economically' and popularly benefits both pieces by the popular noise it is creating. brilliant!

Debugger Inception – The Scriptable Debugger Within The Debugger
I recently began working on a toolset to aid with analyzing binary protocols and I decided to use it as an exercise to get more familiar with the Immunity Debugger. I have been using Windbg for a while now, however, I was constantly reading articles discussing how great Immunity Debugger is for exploit development and I had been meaning to take the time to become more familiar with it.
The first step in my plan involved breaking on the recv() related functions in Winsock and re-calling the function with the PEEK option selected to check for a cookie. This would allow for further analysis of a particular piece of unknown data in relation to the location within the assembly.
When I began developing my Immunity Debugger plugin, I quickly realized a large portion of the functionality that I was expecting from the Immunity Debugger API was not there. This included such things as starting/stopping individual threads, and making debuggee procedure calls.
I decided that I really wanted to work with Immunity Debugger, as a lot of the existing plugins are really useful for what I was trying to achieve, but the gaps in the API were a pretty huge hindrance to my project; therefore, I decided to implement the missing features myself.
In order to implement the missing features I needed to find a way to call the Win32 API functions that are responsible for the missing functionality. Since Immunity Debugger plugins are written in Python, the best way I could think of to call the Win32 API functions was to use the ctypes library. The ctypes library provides an interface for calling into native assembly code from Python. The library contains functionality that is needed to marshal data to and from Python classes into c structures and handlers that are loading DLL's and calling functions contained within.
An example of using ctypes to call into the Win32 Native API function MessageBox is as follows:
ctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxA(0, 'The message', 'The title', 0)
To communicate with the debuggee using the Win32 interface we require access to the HANDLE process. This handle was opened by Immunity Debugger when the initial command to attach to the target process was given. The handle is returned from a call to the OpenProcess() function and contains a value between 0 and 0xffffffff which represents an entry in a table in the kernel that contains structures associated with the process. By gaining the value of this handle, we can pass it to the various debugging-related functions in order to perform actions against the process. The method that I used to locate the value of this HANDLE was pretty simple. I basically copied a technique that I've used in the past for find-sock shellcode. We begin by looping through from 0 towards 0xffff in order to enumerate possible HANDLE values for the immunity debugger process. However since these values could be any type of HANDLE (we need HPROCESS in this case), such as file descriptors or thread handles, we need some way to determine if we've found the appropriate HPROCESS handle for the debuggee.
As it turns out, the official method for this is to use the function NtQueryObject(). However, looking at the MSDN page for this function it involves the use of the OBJECT_INFORMATION_CLASS structure, as well as four other parameters. While this isn't technically difficult, it is a hassle that is not necessarily needed in this case. I found that I could simply call the GetProcessId() function in kernel32.dll in order to check if we have an HPROCESS handle. This function is typically used to retrieve the process id of the process described by the handle. If the function returns 0 (indicating failure) then the handle is not an HPROCESS type; therefore, we can disregard the handle. Calling the GetProcessId() function through ctypes was trivial, and this allowed me to implement the function below:
def get_handle(self,imm): #imm.log("Looping through handles") for i in range(0,0xffff): res = windll.kernel32.GetProcessId(i) if(res != 0): #imm.log("handle %i returned: %i" % (i,res)) handle = i return handle # end get_handle
Now that I had a way to retrieve the process handle I set to work implementing the missing functionality. However, after implementing 3-4 of the functions that I would need in order to implement my research I realized that I was just implementing a large chunk of Pedram's PyDbg library from scratch. Since I was already familiar with the PyDBG library and had a large amount of existing code written with it, I decided that it might make more sense to simply get PyDbg itself loading inside my plugin.
The process of loading PyDbg inside my plugin was actually pretty simple. The pydbg class has an attribute named h_process that stores the handle of the debuggee. In order for PyDbg to be capable of interacting with the debuggee, the h_process attribute must contain the handle. Therefore, I could simply instantiate the pydbg class and then set this attribute to the handle retrieved by the get_handle function from earlier.
imm.log("[+] Creating pydbg object") dbg = pydbg.pydbg() imm.log("[+] Resolving handle") handle = u.get_handle(imm) dbg.h_process = handle
The final step required for PyDbg to function was to populate the pid attribute of the pydbg class. Obviously this attribute is meant to contain the process ID of the debuggee. To populate the pid attribute I used the GetProcessId() function from earlier, called using ctypes.
dbg.pid = windll.kernel32.GetProcessId(handle)
With these steps completed, PyDbg performs as if it attached to the process itself. All the functionality I tested seems to work perfectly. It is fairly easy to modify any existing PyDbg code to work this way inside immdbg. One point of issue though is that the Immunity Debugger currently uses Python version 2.7. However, the latest build of PyDbg on Pedram's Google code site uses Python 2.5. The only restriction is that a compiled version of pydasm (.pyd) is provided. The 2.7 linked version of the pydasm binary can be dowloaded, or compiled by hand and placed in the PyDbg directory. With this in place, everything works fine.
As far as my personal project, I have migrated to a combination of pinpy (python bindings-to-pin tool that I wrote last year) used with with idapython and scapy. These three technologies provide a much better platform for me to develop my ideas. However, I'm sure that I will be using PyDbg inside immdbg in the near future.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday that he had to comply with the Turkish high court ruling this week to unblock Twitter, but he doesn't respect it.
Turkey blocked access to the social media website two weeks ago after some users posted links suggesting government corruption. It later also blocked access to YouTube after a leaked recording of a top government security meeting was posted on the video-sharing website. Erdogan had vowed to "rip out the roots" of Twitter for allowing the postings.
The government lifted the Twitter ban on Thursday, a day after the high court ruled that it violated the right to free expression.
Erdogan said of the court's decision: "I don't have to respect it. I don't respect it."
He said the court was protecting a tool of foreign influence, saying that Twitter is "the product of an American company."
"All of our national moral values are being set aside," Erdogan added.
Also on Friday, a lower court ruled that a total blockage of access to YouTube was a "serious intervention against freedom of expression" and ruled that the blanket ban be lifted. It ruled however, that access to 15 videos deemed to be in violation of Turkish laws could remain blocked.
It was not clear when the latest court ruling would be implemented. Turkey failed to implement an earlier lower court ruling for the lifting of the Twitter ban and it took it several hours to abide by Thursday's high court ruling.

Race around the Zoo – Gorilla mission
Experience a truly unique out of Africa corporate program at Werribee Open Range Zoo.
Gorilla Mission provides organisations with a truly unique team-building program. The program offers incredible opportunities for workplaces to compare human and animal behaviours as well as group dynamics in an interactive zoo environment only 35kms from Melbourne.
Participants will be greeted at Werribee Open Range Zoo by their personal guide who will facilitate the program. The facilitator will divide participants into groups to race each other around the zoo visiting one of the world's largest gorilla exhibits, coming face to face with a pride of lions, discovering a family of hippos in their wetland home and meeting the fastest land animal, the cheetah. The mission will not be won on speed, but rather team work and attention to detail.
The Gorilla Mission is about piecing together the reason why gorillas are threatened with extinction in the wild. Teams will also learn how organisations and individuals can help save gorillas by recycling old mobile phones.
Following the race, if time permits, teams can take our standard safari tour, free of charge, to see some of Africa's majestic animals, including giraffes, rhinos, antelope and zebras. Or book an upgrade to our Off Road Safari to get even closer to the animals on our stunning savannah in a specially designed open vehicle.

Two chemical giants combine their ag divisions to form a billion-dollar company.
The once-trendy "life sciences company" moniker that Monsanto, Novartis and other chemical giants used as they attempted to build biotech and pharmaceutical powerhouses appears to be dying.
The downturn in agriculture combined with potentially risky biotech issues has caused Wall Street to downgrade stock prices. Or as Business Week put it, "gene" has become a four-letter word on Wall Street. In some cases, analysts have gone as far as to demand that companies like American Home Products and Monsanto split their ag and human drug divisions to capitalize on the growth in human drug sales.
Since stock price is the driver and sole judge of success in America, leave it to the Swiss, Brits and Swedes to make the first move. In early December, Novartis and AstraZeneca decided to split off their respective ag divisions and join them as "the first global, dedicated agribusiness company," called Syngenta, with combined global sales of $7.9 billion in crop protection chemicals and seed.
When approved in the second half of 2000, Novartis shareholders will hold 61% of the new company, with AstraZeneca re-ceiving the remaining 39%. The only agricultural components not included in this spinoff are Novartis's animal health business and AstraZeneca's 50% share of the global seed group Advanta (Garst, AgriPro, Interstate Seed and PSA Genetics), which it co-own with the Dutch company Cosun.
Syngenta, to be headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, is claimed to be number one globally in sales of crop protection chemicals and number three in seed, based on 1998 global sales.
Novartis and American Home Products (parent of Cyanamid) announced in 1999 their intent to divest their ag properties. Novartis's board was first to conclude that the benefits of concentrating on the health-care business outweigh the modest synergies between it and its agribusiness activities. It determined that merging its crop protection and seed business with AstraZeneca's agrochemicals "as the partner of choice is an exceptional solution for the long-term development of these activities."
Syngenta management expects the merger to provide a cost savings of $525 million per year. The company will downsize by 3,000 employees worldwide.

Welch Daily News
Iaeger Named For Early Resident
July 28, 1983
Iaeger Named For Early Resident
The town of Iaeger in McDowell County, West Virginia, is named after Colonel William G. W. Iaeger whose son, Dr. William Iaeger had a plan of the present town made in the year 1885.
The town was incorporated in 1917 and is located in the western end of McDowell County about midway between Bluefield and Williamson on U. S. Route 52.
According to a news article in the Welch Daily News, written by the Rev. W. S. Barbery, Friday, November 18, 1949, the corporate limits of the town extended east and west along the Tug River.
Barbery also wrote in the 1949 issue, "Iaeger is surrounded by small communities known as Coon's Branch, Mile Branch, Christian's Branch, Red Bird, Sandy Huff, and Johnnycake."
The areas around Iaeger include Panther, Avondale, Litwar and Krolitz.
Barbery listed the population of Iaeger at about 986 in 1940, and 1,500 in 1949. The 1980 census gives the total population as 833. It is presently, (1980 census), the sixth largest town in McDowell County.
The elevation for the town of Iaeger is 982 feet.
Elections are held annually and the present mayor is P. H. Roberts.
Iaeger has had four different names across the years. It was first know[n] as "the Forks of the River" and before it official[l]y became Iaeger it was known as Williamsburg.
In the early days of what is now known as Iaeger Major Andrew Lewis and a contingent of soldiers camped in the area on their way to capture or destroy Shawnee Indians who had been making trips into the section of Tazewell County known as Abbs Valley burning houses and capturing people.
A marker on U. S. 52 near Iaeger reading "Lewis Camp" tells about Major Lewis being camped there on February 26, 1756.
The site of the camp was located where the old railroad station once stood.
One of the first families to locate in the area of Iaeger were the descendants of Allen Steele.
The second name of the town, "The Forks of the River," was so-called because the Dry Fork empties into the Tug River near what is now Iaeger High School.
Railroad ties were drifted down Dry Fork to the "Deep Hole" (near the High School) when the railroad was building the main track along Tug River.
The Forks of the River was also known in the early days as a favorite place for deer hunters. They would drive the deer down Dry Fork and as they attempted to swim across the river the hunters would shoot them.
Arthur L. Godfrey, first cousin of Dr. Iaeger's wife, is the authority for the third name given to Iaeger.
Godfrey was noted by Barbery in 1949 as saying, "When Col. Iaeger came from Pennsylvania about 1876 he was accompanied by a man named Williams. When it came to naming the town Iaeger, called it Williamsburg."
Barbery also pointed out that a railroad magazine article noted that Williamsburg was named after Col. Iaeger, whose first name was William.
In the early days of Iaeger the mail was brought from Perryville, which is now English. Wesley Brooks, a well-known merchant and resident of Iaeger (1949), recalls that his father, Beverley Brooks carried the mail from Perryville and at that time there were only three or four houses between the two towns.
Timber rafts were common in the early days along the Dry Fork and Tug Rivers. The crude means of transportation were about 60 feet long, 7 feet wide and required four men to operate them.
It took two weeks for one of the timber rafts to make the trip between Iaeger and Catlettsburg, Ky. They usually made the trip when the tide was high.
Salt was brought into Iaeger by rafts in those days from Saltville near Charleston.
To the right of Iaeger is a mountain farm. It is reported that Col. Iaeger lived there for a time. It was known as the Iaeger Mountain Farm. Crops of corn, potatoes and apples were among the items grown there.
On the mountain there was a log house reported to have been built by a man named Deskins. Later the log house was moved into Iaeger and occupied by the family of Fleming Roberts.
It is said that Colonel Iaeger brought the first road wagon into McDowell County as well as the first cooking stove.
The Iaegers moved from their namesake town in 1903, to establish residence in Glouchester County, Va., where they spent the latter part of their lives.
More on the early days of Iaeger will be published in Friday's issue of the Welch Daily News.

Tuten gag und nöhliches freues Jahr,
Aynsley Lister macht zwei neue Workshops. Das besondere daran ist, daß das Ganze diesmal mit Drum- und Bass Workshops zeitgleich stattfindet. Steve, Aynsley's Bassist, ist ein super witziger, äusserst zugänglicher Typ, immer für einen Witz gut.
Kontakt über: email@example.com
Englisch ist natürlich Voraussetzung. Auf Aynsley's Webseite (http://aynsleylister.co.uk/) kann man sich für den Newsletter eintragen, dann bekommt man solche mails wie diese:
Morning all,
This is just a quick update on the upcoming Guitar Weekends..
Dates as follows:
12-14 January 2018
19-21 January 2018
The 2018 weekends are being held at The Palace Hotel in Buxton. It's located right next to Buxton train station and less than 1 hour from Manchester Airport.
New to 2018 - we have drum workshops as well as bass, so bring the whole band with you!
We've still got a few places left so if you're interested, please let me know. It's a great Christmas present for anyone with any last minute shopping left to do! Haha! More information for anyone new to this list below, as well as links to Aynsley's jamtrackcentral tuition packages.
Have a great Christmas all of you and we'll see you in the new year!
Cheers all,
Steph & Aynsley
How it works...
The weekend starts with dinner on the Friday evening at 7pm, then kicks off with an evening jam - 2 guitarists at a time getting up to jam with Aynsley's band, finishing around midnight.
During the day on Saturday Aynsley will talk to the group about various aspects of playing and the group will get a chance to put any ideas discussed into practice with the band. There will be another jam on Saturday evening after dinner.
Sunday will be much the same as Saturday but finishing at about tea time (approx. 5pm).
All meals are included in the price (breakfast, lunch and dinner), as well as tea/coffee/water throughout the day, spa access if you want to use it, your accommodation and all your tuition. The only thing you'll need to pay for whilst you're there is your bar bill.
Location, cost and travel
The cost per person is £325 and the weekends will be held at The Palace Hotel in Buxton. The location is fantastic!
Those flying from Europe are best flying into Manchester Airport. There is a possibility of airport transfers, but please get in touch to discuss because this will depend on the timings and dates of your flights.
There is also a train station located next door to the hotel, so those travelling via public transport can access the hotel easily.
How experienced do you need to be?
This is a popular question! To get the most out of the weekend you need to have a basic grasp of lead playing and chords, roughly at an intermediate level. Knowledge of theory is not essential. There's no pressure to get up and jam and you can take the weekend at your own pace. Every year we have people of varying abilities; some have never played in front of anyone before and others play regularly in bands. The atmosphere is non-judgemental and very relaxed so you won't feel out of place whatever your level.
