Actually saw "Mary" twice. Once me and the hubby, the second time we took the kids. This movie was SO funny. The whole theater was in hysterics. Lethal Weapon 4 was not as good as the previous ones but when the guy in the begining was torching everything then he cranks up the walkman and FITH blasted, that was totally cool. I couldn't help but start singing.

My Peavey guys have been telling me the Purple is not yet available to dealers. Only Ed has one. Ed had been playing the purple one for MONTHS. Since early in the tour. I would actually buy a purple one.

I was wandering through, looking at some of the cool VH stuff they have, ie autographed and framed VH2, heaps of old vinyl promos etc. Then, something really caught my eye. I saw a vinyl copy of 5150, fully autographed by the band as well as Val. So, my question is, how rare would this be? Is there much material out there that has been signed by the whole band as well as Val? I would have bought it and scanned it for you guys, but I don't have a spare $700 on me. Also, I saw a Japanese DLR 7" Vinyl single of Just A Gigolo that had a VH symbol in the bottom left hand corner of the front cover. Has anyone seen this before?
