#181. Driving home from the guitar store

October 23, 2008

RONI: Well, we just maxed out our Visa's to buy two VERY expensive guitars. And I didn't even need a new one...
DAN: Yeah...

RONI: And we're in the same damn band. We'll look like huge TOOLBELTS on stage with our matching guitars.
DAN: Heh, yup...

DAN: It's a lot of debt. But, MAN, that guitar sounds good, huh, Roni?
RONI: Foo... YEAH.

DAN: I think it's possible the PRS 513 Rosewood may be responsible for a good chunk of this "credit crisis" thing we're in.
