Re: You just might be a "Joe-addict"......
When you open the case to your JBLP and make "AAHH" sound as if a higher power just entered the room...
When you have a recurring dream as above?
Then of course you wake up and reality bites

When you read about Joe pushing Jeff off top spot and start running around like a lunatic having to share the news with everyone you can find....and then make a transatlantic call to spread the good news further.....
When you skip lunch to listen for a leak on Joe's show while watching the board.
And notice that 12 of you are doing the same Rick
...If the entire center cd storage console in your 2000 honda accord is filled with nothing but Joe Bonamassa cd's(in release date order, of course)
...If you are now spending your entire lunch break on his website instead of eating(eating is overrated)
...If you just got off the phone with your friend, who you bought a ticket to the Euegene show for, and is now traveling all the way from San Diego to see him(oh, I guess that makes him an addict as well.)
...If you just want to touch Joe the way he touches us!(I admit that's a little creepy, but you know what I mean.)

Here's some more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGKPHFrHVVY
... when you give up the chance to spend a week in the US studying with the world's foremost yoga teacher because Joe is playing the UK the same time in May.
... when the 6 CD changer in your car is filled with Joe CDs and you realise the collection is probably worth more than the car
...when you go to Best Buy and arrange all the Joe CD's & DVD's up front....and then you set all the Napster machines to Joe......loud & proud (as she slips away slyly with a smile.....)

Wish you'd do that at ours patty. Couldn't find the Bonamassa CD's at Best Buy

To me it's fun to do what Patty does (been doing it since the first ANDY release) also, but I get antsy if there are TOO MANY or TOO FEW on hand. I forgot to mention incredulous if NONE...
You see checking back often you know how long something's sitting there and I get perturbed if nothing's moving (other than or I guess including from where I put it or they have completely rearranged the entire CD or DVD sections). If there's only one or a couple I'll buy it / them, to distribute on the Street Team beat. THEN come back later perusing the area I pilfered recently with a feigned confusion on my brow. This brings the requisite "May I help you find something" from the nothing else to do employee, whence I put them to work looking for more Joe Bonamassa everywhere including the back stock, recent arrivals, and if it comes to it, "can we get some (more) ordered, please". All this with a mini biography / lecture on the life, times, and merits of Joe Bonamassa. Usually I do not disclose any close kinship with Joe & Co., but sell myself as just another "I've heard this guy is really incredible, I'd like to check him out, and you should too". This works great on the employee who prides themselves on their musical recordings knowledge-they HAVE to get on it (can't be left out you know). What really can get fun is having another Street Team member friend come in and specifically look for that person (or not) and go through a different yet similar version of the routine. Brandon, you have a few Street Teamers (hopefully you are one also) in your area, so give it a shot. What's really fun is traveling and seeing others have been doing the "to the front shuffle". It's a sort of tradition with a bunch of us. I look forward, not ruefully however, to the day it's a given place of prominence.

[ 1. After the show, you come THIIIIISSS close to asking Joe's guitar tech if "He" flat out just pulled a Robert Johnson 2. You now almost exclusivly use Joe's guitar picks, (mainly for my intense lead) and getting off on his secret when he's not fingerpicking.... (Thanks Murfdog) 3. Loosing complete sense of responsabilty after a killer gig and not being totally satisfied with just the meet n greet, you sneak aboard Joe's tour bus in storage below and tough it out to the next city.... and repeat this process until 1 or more of the following happens.....I go broke, I get threatened with divorce and/or get served with a restraining order keeping me no less than 1000 yards from ANYTHING Joe Bonamassa! ( Hope that did'nt sound too Mark David Chapman, ...but concider what the question was to begin with)
When you drop everything "important" in life to travel 1000 miles for that special Joe Bonamassa "Experience" (going from San Diego to Eugene in March for it!) CAN'T WAIT!
- when you are in the hospital, waiting for the anaesthesia and the last thing you remember is a Joe-Song (Mountain Time)
and when you wake up later there is another Joe-Song (Asking Around For You) in your mind . . .
- when you tell all doctors, nursing staff and other patients about the GREATEST MUSICIAN in this world!!!!!
- when your broken wrist doesn't hurt soooo much because you listen to JB-music for hours and hours
When you drop everything "important" in life to travel 1000 miles for that special Joe Bonamassa "Experience" (going from San Diego to Eugene in March for it!) CAN'T WAIT!
I'd agree with that

Mydas Touch....your time has come
Mydas Touch, leaving shortly to pick up the bus where you leave off. Looks like a 1300 mile Joeroad trip for us. Three gigs coming up!
......if you and your wife still have Lenny's phone number in your address book 19 years after seeing JB live and meeting "the family" for the first time.
Definitely Addicted to Slow Train, Loving all the train stuff goin' on, it's my new SMR
My fave JB Song for sometime
like to see the opening rather than speeded up, slowing down to like a 3 chord chug with one bright light on stage as if a "Slow Train" was pulling into the station/stage,
But's they probs already doing that
great taster of what new album might be like even more heavier
Whoo Whoo !
