Pasta water, why your cat likes the amp on, music recs.

I keep landing in rooms where the cymbals are fine and the guitar amp is a mystery cube from 2004. If you have a short list of rooms that still maintain a real combo or at least a Katana/JC that is not cooked, drop it. Bonus points for places that let you load in without stairs.
I have three chorus parts that need a player with cleaner right-hand discipline than mine. Happy to trade comping, topline cleanup, or pedalboard debugging. Would be useful if this place became the spot for small, specific session favors instead of giant networking posts.
Need a laugh after a long teaching week. What's a pedal you bought because the internet wouldn't shut up about it and then sold within a month? I'll start. The Chase Bliss Mood. I love what they do, I love the brand, I respect everything about how it was designed. I bought one, kept it for six weeks, sold it. The interface is beautifully thought through and completely incompatible with how I think about pedals on stage. I want to step on something and have it do a thing. The Mood wants me to think about it. I don't want to think about a pedal during a song. I want to think about a song during a song. Nobody's wrong about the Mood. It does what they say it does. I'm just not the player for it. Who else has one? The worst part of selling a Chase Bliss pedal is you lose maybe 20% of retail, the resale community is honest. The best part is somebody who actually loves it gets it for a fair price.
