Fuck Guitar Center and strip malls

so i have this freind Ed Blum (no relation to mike blum) and he fixes amps and other electronics for a living. he is a very unusual person though. talk to anyone that has had the pleasure of having gear repaired by ed. they will tell you an ear full about his demeaner. anyway . Ed makes these amps compleatly from scratch that he has been trying to sell. every conversation i have had with him in the past 2 years always has a sale pitch for his amps..

" life is getting boring and I'm too broke to go out once a week to a bar but I need to just get out now and then. Not many repairs are coming in, NO ONE is buying any of my boutique amps even though they are priced at COST plus 10% for the first lucky 7 which includes lifetime warranty except for tubes, speakers and abuse. After that, they go to retail and only one year warranty. Problem is I need at least half down and Guitar Center will let you take out the amp the same day and not have to start paying until a year later. Oh well...

Have fun"

i have played these amps and if you are on the market for an amazing sounding amp PLEASE !!! buy Ed's amp... i feel so bad for him.. and they are some of the best sounding amps i have ever played. so there is my sale pitch in there too. if i ever get 800 to 1100 dollars that is burning a whole in my stock market account then i go straight to new orleans east and take one of those amps off his hands..
ok. well . what else to talk about.. ummm.. life sucks.. and then your friends die.. fuck.
