patty are all these true for you?

Gary,

Of course those are all true of Patty! lol
I think Patty has more pictures of Joe than Joe's mom has of Joe! Every time I photograph a show I get an email from Patty with a request for 20 or so photos. At first I was uploading them to a location near her and paying for them......but damn.....photos for Patty or food for my kids.......! lol smile smile (Patty - ya know I am kidding!)

You know your addicted when you come back from a show, load the photos on to your laptop in the hotel room and then, with your bestest bonabuddy, watch the slide show to the preprogrammed slideshow music of "We wish you a Merry Christmas" because that is the only music on the laptop! over and over and over...... reliving the show.

Run Patty run.............! lol smile

You just might be a Joe addict if you have a large tattoo of Joe anywhere on your body!

You gotta love Jbfan15, 9/20 he and his wife and kids were the only fans to make an almost impromptu CD signing at FYE in Daly City the day of the SF Palace show. Well OK, I almost forgot I was the other guy. Thought we needed some Street Teamin' w/ posters for that nights show. The tatt is way cool in person as is the owner. Jbfan and family thanks for the effort.

Re: You just might be a "Joe-addict"......

Admitting you have a problem is the first step in recovery, but who wants to recover from Bonamania?  I am a Joe-addict, and I'm fine with that. 

I'm working Thursday 10/18 in Baltimore, MD until 5pm, driving to see Joe at 8pm in Richmond, VA, getting home at about 3am and working on Friday 10/10 from 9am until 5pm, and then driving to see Joe in Rockville, MD that night.  Next morning, I'm driving to see Joe in Staten Island. NY on the 20th, and following Joe and the boys to NJ for Sunday night's show.  Oh, then I'm working again Monday at 9am. 

4 shows, 4 days, 4 states.

November, there's a show in Baltimore, whew!!  I'm also going to see Joe at Penn's Peak the weekend after the Baltimore show.

When you throw in the Birchmere and Harrisburg shows, it amounts to 8 shows in 5 states in 6 months.  I've got a bad case of Bonamania, and I'm fine with that.

-Rob

Bonamania is a disease with no cure.  Give it to all your friends.

Here's one I forgot to include on my list on the 1st page:

On your work PC all of your passwords for different applications are a varation of Joe's name and/or the year he was born. Examples: BONA77, BONAMASSA1, JOEB77, JOEBON53 (the year I was born), JOMASSA77 and one of my favorites JOEMAMA77.

Re: You just might be a "Joe-addict"......

Had a close-encounter with the guitarist Josh Rand from SlipKnot & Stone Sour here in Indianola yesterday....my son has Stone Sour CD's and wanted Josh to autograph.....his sharpie wasn't working, so I pulled my lucky silver sharpie out of my purse and said, "Well, this is usually saved for Joe Bonamassa signings..."    Am I bad??????   pattyluvsjoe smile

Re: You just might be a "Joe-addict"......

I think all the fans that posted here have serious issues...beyond a doctor or a nurse or a straight jacket....of course, 99.9% of you have it way worse than me.

BUT...don't be surprised if my husband makes a post on here in the near future reaching out for a support group...S.A.J.O. Spouses Against Joe Obsession.  I think he feels responsible, since he turned me on to Joe in the first place. Under pressure, I confessed to backing the car out of the garage (to get a satellite signal) and cleaning the interior while I got a 15 minute "Cup of Joe" fix!!  Can't listen today...sirius withdrawl...:lol:

To Obsess is excess, moderation is the key.  The issue is: who decides what is TOO MUCH?

Re: You just might be a "Joe-addict"......

When we die, our children are going to find out just how Bonafflicted we are when they open the fireproof safe to get the important papers out to find several redundant unopened Joe Bonamassa CD's & DVD's with this note attached to them. 

Enjoy your inheritance Pete, Kelly & Mitchell.

Play it LOUD....  Play it OFTEN

P.S.  We had to remove the cash in order to make room for Joe !!
