The San Francisco Treat!

Wow, what a weekend! UNREAL!!  Adrian and I had the BEST TIME in the world, thanks to GuitarPlayer Magazine and Mike Molenda. We got treated like gold from everyone at that show.

I can't describe how cool it felt to be in the presence of some of these amazing people! All ten tremendously talented players were roundly applauded by celebrity judges Joe Satriani, Steve Lukather, Nuno Bettencourt, Elliot Easton, Greg Howe, and Mike Varneynot. We had a blast, I'm gong to write a journal in a few days just describing everything from "show me something nice"........( taxi driver story ) to meeting Elliot Easton and Joe Satriani , Nuno Bettencourt......and I'll get the names of all the judges down.

We got Hammered! Tequila and Coronas! nice mix. So in half of the pictures you will see, remember, I was Hammered!!! ahahha, check out the picture of us in the Boys Room, we were all singing SMOKING IN THE BOYS ROOM, after some patron gave us shit for smoking in there. In between the few Italian words I swore out loud, like BUFF FANGULO, we were smoking in the Boys room!

Mike Molenda, ( editor cheif of Guitar Player Magazine ) Thank You for putting on a great show. I have the out-most respect for you and your crew. You all did a great job! DOT ON SHAFT GUITARS is very proud to say we were there and representing our two spectaculars, Jamie Robinson and Juan Coronado. They both did AMAZING. Also a special thanks to the Winner Nadd Smith! and our other fellow Canadian that placed 2nd, the GREAT LES ROBOT. Les it was so much fun meeting you and your wife, having a beer and chatting at the Phoenix.

Thanks to my beautiful wife Keeks, for being so supportive of me and coaxing me to get smashed:) it's been a while and it felt great to just let loose! SanFran, I'll be back:)

Mike Carparelli

Me and Jamie Robinson just after his Gig! WOW, it's no wonder everyday people come into the DOS GUITAR Store and sure enough people are asking about Jamie. Who is this kid? he's amazing, his technique is superb, love his songs too!  this guy freaks me out, the Talent he has at such a young age,I'm predicting an amazing future for Jamie and DOS....Stay Tuned for Jamie. ONLY 18 years old!! I great positive vibes from Jamie! Thanks for having DOS be a part of your Trip. Many more to go Jamie. :)
