Hey Dixie..

So what is the deal with opening for Pink in Germany? How did you land that gig?

[VAMP3D]

I was just crowned "#1 unsigned acoustic guitarist in the nation". I entered this competition because I need a nice guitar and, at each round they gave away a really nice one to the runner up, while the first place person simply advanced to the next level. Well dammit, I kept winning and advancing, but no guitar. I just won the final round in NYC last week against all the winners from the other cities. Now they are flying me to Germany to play in front of 35000 ppl. It's a 3 day festival. Pink isn't even headlining, it's a bunch of big European bands and a few others.

awesome

Dude, that is fucking awesome!

Make sure someone gets some video of you playin when you're there.

[VAMP3D]

Oh yeah-and when I get out there, they will be presenting me with a custom built guitar that will be way nicer than the ones they were giving away at the other competitions. So, I get my guitar, and as a bonus, I get to play my music in front of a couple people. There are a bunch of other things too, like endorsements and contracts, but I won't get the details til I get out there.

[VAMP3D]

Yeah, I have a bunch of fans from when I played out there in '05. A few of them are taking me to get a tat, and hopefully they will be recording me again.

badass

[Psychoholic]

Any idea on the make of guitar? What are you currently playing?

[VAMP3D]

I think it will be an ovation. I usually play 2 takamine g series. One 3 models ago, and the newer one is not the latest model, but the one before it. I also have an ovation that my girl busted her ass to get me last year for my bday. Then it dove out of a van. I refuse to take it out of the studio until I have it refinished. Seriously broke my heart.

If you ever need someone to do a really shitty music video for you, I'm down.

Also I do alot of "acting" (its in quotes because of how much I suck) in low budget horror flicks, if you get me a demo I'd be glad to shop it to the companies. I mean most dont pay much, if anything....but it'll get out there. I just did one last week and I have one coming up in NC (Psycho Holocaust) and one in D.C. (Super Tromette Action Movie Go!) both in August. Plus I'll be hanging out with the President of Troma Entertainment and the creator of the Toxic Avenger, Lloyd Kaufman in August....so I'll be glad to pimp you out fool, just holla!

(though what with the contest and tour you may not need any of that)

[VAMP3D]

I could use all of it actually. I am about to record a few more tunes and I need a music video for one in particular.
