Once again, it's time for the FNGT!If you don't know how this works,
click this link. That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should upgoat go down.
NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, ask a regular participant (such as @Sleazy or myself).
If you already know what's going on, you probably don't need to click any of those links. You can still visit to see if any changes have been made, as that's also where we kept the archives and have a second forum.
By the way, we're down to just two of us. If you want to help, let us know.

The internet is back up and running but not well. I can't even stream a video in 480p on YouTube.
I did get a feee bottle of wine and they've comp'ed our room service for yesterday and today.
I was polite but firm. I didn't raise my voice 'cause that's just not something I do. I explained the situation and explained that I don't like not getting that I paid for.
I could just move to a different hotel but it'd be a pain in the ass and I've already pre-paid until Monday. So, I'd have to deal with getting a refund to my credit card and the whole thing would be a pain in the ass.
Did you see the moron in the thread who asked if anyone played an 'actual' instrument like a 'piano'?
I think I shut themd own well enough. You might find my response amusing. I'm still in a foul mood and the lack of good internet isn't helping.
There's some racing I'd like to watch this weekend and it's on YouTube. They will have some of it on TV but then you get commercials interrupting the thing and that's annoying. I just log into my VPN and watch like I'm from another country (it's geo-blocked in the US due to TV broadcast agreements).
Hopefully, things will change. People will leave the hotel to go out to do stuff during the day. So, there will be fewer people using the 'net. Then again, I am assuming quite a few people have left the hotel already and it hasn't improved the situation all that much.
Seriously... A piano? The guitar is a much more complicated instrument to learn and master. You have a ton of complexity with a guitar that isn't there with the piano.
