Campfire notice

WEDNESDAY MORNING
Post No. 1,008

Hey everyone. It's great ... to be ... a HABOTN HOTTIE.

I'm thinking it's time for a campfire. At some point today we will log our 1,000,000th pageview in recorded history. More than 80% of that traffic has come since June 1, 2008 -- two years after we began -- which shows you how quickly our popularity is multiplying.

To celebrate, let's hold a campfire to celebrate our achievement.

I'll be here starting at 2 p.m. CST. If you can't make it because of work, I understand. We'll hold an evening campfire soon -- either tonight or Thursday.

Thanks, as always, for making the HABOTN so dadgum incandescent.

UPDATE: WE HAVE BOUNDED INTO THE RECORD BOOK

There it is. We have cracked the 1,000,000 plateau. It occurred overnight, I believe.

RECRUITING NEWS: Our friends at AuburnSports.com report that Auburn sent a four-coach flotilla to Austin, Texas, last night for a chat with WR Emory Blake and his peeps. That's an unusually large traveling party. Blake has said he'll announce a decision on Feb. 4. I have no reason to believe he'll pull the trigger before then.

martini35504 said...: Quattro; 9:42 AM
michael said...: On that same note, Tyrik should just get diagnosed with ADD and take the "extended time" ACT. I had a bunch of friends who did that in high school and they made much much better score. And it is pretty easy to get diagnosed with ADD. Just go to the doctor and say you are having trouble paying attention. There ya go.

Hey, one of you nuts who are facebook friends with him should forward this information on. We can make him an Auburn Tiger if we work at it!; 9:42 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: To continue a conversation being held on the previous thread:

The first Grateful Dead download pack included:
Casey Jones
Truckin'
China Cat Sunflower
Franklin's Tower
I Need A Miracle
Sugar Magnolia

... plus "Alabama Getaway" is on the Rock Band 2 disc.

It's just like, it's just like a mini show.; 9:42 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Jay,

Are they the extended live versions or the standard 4 min studio versions?

I can imagine playing a 20 min live version of Franklin's Tower and getting 19 mins into it and then fail.; 9:44 AM
Anonymous said...: I have to admit, I have an unhealthy addiction to Guitar Hero: World Tour.; 9:44 AM
michael said...: There are some songs I recognize.

I love Rock Band/Guitar Hero, but I can never justify spending that much moolah on a new gaming system and then even more moolah on those games. I got kids to feed!; 9:47 AM
WarEagleRK said...: World Tour is a lot of fun. I actually like it better than Rock Band, but no real complaints about either.; 9:47 AM
Harrison said...: wouldn't playing all those Gratefule Dead songs in a row take like 4 hours; 9:48 AM
michael said...: By the way, Monica, Jet, 4 realz, let Tyrik know that he is ADD and can take the ACT with extra time. We don't have much time here, he will probably need to sign up soon.; 9:48 AM
Anonymous said...: I put this on the other board, but I think that Rollison making the grade on the ACT is less than 50-50. He made the 13 less than a year ago, then 15 in the fall. The greatest improvement usually comes on the second try, and the chance for improvement on the third try is small- a large number of test-takers actually go backward.

I think the suggestion before that he might be better served by taking the SAT is a god one - especially since he took Algebra II. It weighs math heavier.

I just think we'll be fortunate if he qualifies.; 9:48 AM
michael said...: I have never liked the Rock Band guitar. It always seemed like it lagged a bit. I am more in tune with the guitar hero guitar.; 9:49 AM
Anonymous said...: Maybe we could start a petition: "Tyrivk PLEASE take the SAT instead!"; 9:50 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: He's the best tackler since Joe Montanya.

What do we know about Blake?; 9:52 AM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Jay G.
I have truly enjoyed this BLOG.... we have genuine conversation that is insightful, funny, hard-hitting, edgy and just plain HOT!!!!

We are the most quoted of all AUBURN Blogs, and I can truly say it's because of the well mannered, and respectful thoughts that the HOTTIES put out....

We are thankful for you doing what you do on a daily bases to give most of us a forum to release and speak without being "the GRAND PooPah" and editing us one and all....

We appreciate you and wish you well for all your days....

Our Fearless Leader JAY G.TATE...

Raise you glasses and toast the HABOTN!!!

Here-Here!!!; 9:52 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: Tyrik's HC is HS has said he believes Rollison will be a full qualifyer with ease.; 9:53 AM
Seanzie said...: AUn, cheers mate!; 9:53 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: I still have no answer as to what the G stands for -- Gary?

Anyway, I enjoy this blog because it polices itself without being fascist.; 9:54 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: 1 MILLION HITS? FREAKIN' AUSOME. ANOTHER MILESTONE JG. CONGRATS.

AND YES, I THOUGHT THIS HISTORIC ACHIEVEMENT DESERVED 'ALL CAPS'. :); 9:55 AM
AUfan said...: Question on recruiting for next year. Obviously, this year the new coaches are continuing to recruit from the areas where they know players(Texas,etc.). But next year, will they continue to recruit these areas hard, or will they return to AU's traditional areas of Alabama, Florida and the Southeast in general? Thanks.; 9:55 AM
Harrison said...: does the millionth hit win something?; 9:56 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: If Tyrik shows significant improvement the next time around, the NCAA will just flag it and say he couldn't have gotten that much smarter, even if, through tutoring/coaching, he actually did.
The NCAA can be such bullies.; 9:56 AM
Seanzie said...: depressed, I've heard from statements that they want to start hitting the in-state talent hard while also moving outward from there. I think some of the kids we're getting from outside are based on prior relationships and contacts.; 9:57 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Well said MobileZ; I second that emotion; 9:57 AM
centretiger said...: Sounds like they're pulling out all the stops, like when they sent everybody in Auburn to visit Carnell. That worked, maybe this will too. Congrats on the 1,000 post and 1,000,000 page views. That's a pretty big deal.; 9:58 AM
Anonymous said...: On Blake they actually met with him on Monday night. They coaches were in Louisiana and Mississippi yesterday. They have told a couple prospects they we are full at Lb. Interesting.; 10:00 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Coach Chizik said this year is an anomaly, that AU won't be looking so far and wide in the future, but will concentrate on AL, AL, AL, GA, FL. Not exclusively on those states, just emphasis there.; 10:00 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: The dreded NCAA CLEARINGHOUSE:

Who was it - the LB from Opelika that had his paperwork approved but the NCAA admitted that they just forgot about it.

"Ooops, sorry kid.

We know your life's future is in limbo but I had a pastrami sammich that day and it gave me gas, so I had to take a nap and forgot all aboot your transcipts."; 10:01 AM
martini35504 said...: If your score on the ACT bumps up too much at one time, then it raises suspicion and would be investigated by either the ACT group or the NCAA. He would have to make the improvement over several attempts. I'll be really concerned if he enrolls this fall.; 10:01 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: They have told a couple prospects they we are full at Lb. Interesting.

To quote Kyle's mom WHATWHAT WHAT??!!??; 10:02 AM
Seanzie said...: The difference in a 15 and a 19 can easily be explained by better preperation and expansion of your knowledge base. If he hits a 22+ be concerned.; 10:03 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: How many times can a kid take it and in what timeframe?; 10:03 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Did they even tell Tana that?; 10:04 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: Just a thought -Who in HADES came up with the idea to do a show about plane crashes?

NatGeo has a show called Air Emergencies - If you're taking a trip soon don't watch it.; 10:04 AM
Nooj4AU(qualify tyrick!) said...: "I need a miracle" would be a good theme song for auburn fans as far as getting randle or Brown to come to the plains.; 10:06 AM
AUfan said...: Thanks for the replies. I look forward to seeing AU compete again for the top talent in-state. I don't care where players come from, but AU cannot compete at the top level getting shut-out every year in the top 10-12 in-state players. This has turned into a disturbing trend. I am intrigued to see Luper and Trooper going against the evil empire.; 10:06 AM
AUfan said...: Inverness -I think you are referring to LeMarcus Rowell, the LB from Opelika.; 10:08 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Does anyone know how many OL have made it in the NFL from Texas Tech lately? Just curious since they don't run an NFL type offense, but have done an awesome job of preventing sacks.
Do y'all think Gus Malzahn's offense will be attractive to OL recruits?; 10:10 AM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: congrats on the 1,000,000 hits.; 10:12 AM
Nooj4AU(qualify tyrick!) said...: Thats a pretty generic grateful dead song list...y no dark star...terrapin station..i guess you actually would have to have some talent to play those songs,...sorry for hatin but i "as a musician" jus dont like the whole guitar hero stuff..y not actually learn how to play..i guess some people jus aint got it...sorry JAY i know u love that stuff...i just dont get.; 10:14 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: I ain't got it.

I'm not shy about admitting this.; 10:14 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: AU will get back into the game IN -STATE but as we all know, AU will have to get back bigtime, into FL and GA.

I'd be happy with 4-6 of the top 12 players in AL and a few from neighboring states.; 10:15 AM
Harrison said...: Inverness, I think you can take the ACT as many times as you can; 10:15 AM
Aubie said...: Hey Scottie B, I heard a song on Sirius yesterday and thought of you.
Have you ever heard the song - Scotty doesn't know
Classic!; 10:16 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: I wish I could identify who was responsible for the 1,000,000th hit, but it's just not possible.

That would have been a Hall of Fame moment for someone.; 10:16 AM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Nooj, I'm one of those guys who just don't have it. I've tried to pick up the guitar a couple times. But I am just tone deaf and don't have it.; 10:17 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: Malzhan's offense is nothing like Tx Tech's in that in actually runs the ball.

TT's OL scheme has major splits and throws quickly, that's why there's no sacks.

CGM's offense shouldn't have a hardtime attracting OL propects.; 10:17 AM
WarEagleRK said...: "Do y'all think Gus Malzahn's offense will be attractive to OL recruits?"

No idea if they get big OL recruits or get a look at the NFL, but he ones at Texas Tech do a good enough job to make their offense work very well.; 10:18 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Are any of the Dead songs the live version where you'll be playing the same note for 15 straight minutes?; 10:20 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Jay GT - I may have been the millionth. I'm feeling tingly all over.; 10:20 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Aubie - if I had a poo that big, I'd be so proud I'd wear it on my head, too.; 10:25 AM
Anonymous said...: Chizik, Rocker, and Malzahn visited Blake nite of 1/26 - not sure who/if fourth coach was, but I hope they flew in the B52...

Darren Bates **S, Olive Branch, MS will visit this wknd. with teammate big OL ****Aubrey Phillips, 6-6, 310.

AU offered 2010 RB Storm Johnson, Buford, GA, 6-1, 210.; 10:26 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: Awsome name for a RB - Storm Johnson.

Do you know if the S and the BIG OL are close friends?

To me, that will be the biggest GET of them all.; 10:30 AM
Robusto said...: Texas Tech had some pretty good talent in '08 on offensive line, nothing to scoff at.

On that note..I remember thinking entering the '08 season that would be one of AU's strengths!; 10:31 AM
Jim Rome said...: Nooj - I got it; 10:35 AM
Jim Rome said...: and gots it; 10:35 AM
tigercowboy said...: I know you guys as smart as you are, have already discussed somewhere but....Does Petey going to UAT help our chances at Tana?; 10:47 AM
Miller said...: What do I want for lunch? Do I go home and eat cereal (HoneyComb or Cocoa Pebbles) - or - do I go get something (and if so, what?)?; 10:50 AM
Robusto said...: On the Pebbles front, I recommend the Fruity Variety.

I can buy a box of them and often Wifey eats the whole damn box leaving the box in the pantry as a taunt.

Vengence will be mine!; 10:53 AM
michael said...: I play guitar, and I also enjoy guitar hero. They are two very different skills. I remember being frustrated about songs I had trouble passing on guitar hero that I could play in real life. It's a fun video game, you should try it nooj.

And Rock Band takes it to a whole nuther level because of the singing. That's just fun to get in and play with the friends/family.

And TarHEelTiger, I am sorry, but that funny feeling you had was probably just part of you becoming a man. I am fairly certain that I was the millionth hit.; 10:53 AM
Unknown said...: Congrats on another HABOTN milestone Jay. I love all the different views of the Auburn program I see here.; 10:56 AM
Anonymous said...: So for lunch today...

I'm thinking BBQ..

Miss Myra's perhaps?; 10:58 AM
michael said...: drive to Memphris and get some reall BBQ, FSJ. That is my recommendation.; 11:01 AM
Quitstina said...: Mcheial, I was thinking the same thing. Not that I play guitar but I know several who do who love guitar hero.

What's the difference between Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band?; 11:01 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: MillerTime,
Based on your dentition, I'd avoid the pre-sweeetened cereals for a while.; 11:01 AM
Harrison said...: i also can somewhat play a real guitar, poorly, but i can play it. I still really enjoy Rock Band, especially the drums; 11:02 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Michael,
I'm sure I haven't hit that milestone yet. Perhaps it was all the fudge I ate.; 11:03 AM

michael said...: Kristenah, the difference between Guitar Hero and Rock Band is they are made by different companies, I think. Guitar Hero came first, then someone said, "Hey, what if we did the whole band," so they made Rock Band, so then Guitar Hero said, "WTF! That was like our idea, only better! We better do that to!" So they did. The instruments have a little different feel to them, but it's the same concept. Different songs also, of course.; 11:17 AM

Taikwon Paige DB

Aubrey Phillips OT

Darren Bates, S

David Oku- RB (Wildcard)

Tell me your thoughts?; 11:21 AM
Monica said...: Hey Mobilezzzz - I've been busy as hello. Had to come into office - used ice skates to get here - trying to finish up some stuff before Greg comes to pick me up in a few minutes. Then we'll head back home, hunker down and hope we don't lose power like 60,000 other folks in our area already have. Oh and it's snowing again.; 11:23 AM

Aubie - Yes, I saw that. He's a coach at W.S. Neal in East Brewton. He was on the official visit with Jamar Travis.; 11:25 AM
atlantatiger said...: Mobilz would love to get Oku. This guy is good. Then have Phillips as well. Shaping up to be a nice class.; 11:26 AM
Monica said...: So far so good, Scottie. I'm going to try to take some more pics on the drive from my office back home in a few minutes.; 11:26 AM

Eddie McCoy said...: Can you imagine the anguish if Monica looses power. I think she would miss HABOTN more than heat :).

Be safe Mon!; 11:27 AM
Miller said...: I agree moblz,
I'll add Greg King to that list.; 11:28 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: yup, be careful Monnie. we need more doggie/snow pics. :)

aubie, i dunno. the whole Fiona/Lana Lang this is kinda hottt. :); 11:29 AM

be careful... if you loose power you can just run a generator to holla at us on the HABOTN, or we will send smoke signals up for you...

scottie, atl, eddie, MT, lets go get'em this weekend.... it's the bottom of the ninth, we got our rally caps turned inside out and backwards (cuz CTT wants us to, nuff said) and our power hitters, are due up....down by two runs, and all we need is to get somebody on and get the big-bopper (CGC) up to the plate....

DRAMA!!!!!; 11:35 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Was there really a holier than thou post on here about because someone plays a musical instrument they look down on rock band and guitar hero?

I played baseball and football, does that mean I should look down on people who play those games on a Playstation?; 11:44 AM

mytommyd said...: Michael, I'm with you on getting a new gae system (actually getting A game system) then paying for the game. BUT not having played guitar, it's fun to "play" with the band. However now that they have the drums, its almost all I can do not to go get a system off ebay and head to Walmart and get World Tour. Rock Band's drums are lots of fun and fairly real, but I've heard many good things about GH drum "kit".blah blah blah.

Congrats Jay G.Tate on the million hits; 11:53 AM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: definitely a fan of floyd. my, pre-me, saw them in chicago around the time that meddle came out. they crashed an airplane into the stage.; 11:53 AM

Anonymous said...: Gilmour's work is undeniable.

The Wall was clearly Roger's opus and the rest of the guys were just there for the ride. The very best albums flow from Meddle - Wish You Were Here. I like the later stuff, but without Roger (even as out there as he can be) it just wasn't the same.

Congrats on the 1 mil mark, Jay G!; 12:11 PM
WarEagleRK said...: The Wall and The Final Cut have almost no guitar solos on it and seem to be mostly just Roger complaining about everything.

I thought even without Roger that The Division Bell was an excellent album.; 12:14 PM

Anyone got any smack?; 12:16 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Sensi,

I think it's funny that on The Final Cut, the 1st time you hear David Gilmour's voice is on the last track and he's saying "F--- all that" which I assume is a hidden message to the previous tracks.; 12:16 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Sensi - I just watched Pink Floyd: Which one's Pink" on VH1 Classic.

A channel I highly recommned.

It talked straight to those facts and about how Waters now wishes he would have acted more like a grown up.; 12:17 PM
Anonymous said...: Final Cut is one I don't have, but I agree with your assessment, RK.

Hit me up on email and we will plan a Floyd listen-in sometime.

TDB is a good effort; High Hopes is as good a thing Gilmour ever wrote (even if his wife helped him).; 12:17 PM
AUfan said...: I'm not into Rock Band and such, but anyone who likes classic rock might enjoy Wings FM if in Auburn. It is 100.3 on FM dial and I believe they broadcast in HD also.(I don't have HD Radio). Congratulations to Jay on the milestone. I know he puts in lots of free work for this blog and it is much appreciated.; 12:18 PM
michael said...: I was a huge Pink Floyd fan in high school, don't listen to them hardly ever now, but I still like em. Post Meddle to The Wall was quite a run.

I don't know that the Wall is overrated, but it is the only Floyd Album I skip songs on. It was a bit bloated. Animals is probably my favorite.; 12:18 PM
Anonymous said...: Inverness Chris,

I watched and DVR'd that as well as the live Dark Side performance. Very good of Roger to admit that many years later. LOL!

I like the VH1 Classic channel as well.; 12:19 PM
michael said...: Waters was a commie, so f that. Gilmour would be nothing without Waters, though, just like Waters would be nothing without Gilmour.; 12:20 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Not a big AC/DC post Bon Scott.

I have grown to love ths Stones more country/gritty works.

My wife gave me this huge coffee table book from Rolling Stone - top 500 albums of all time. 43 is Dark Side of the Moon.

Kinda low IMO.

AWSOME book with a forward from Steven Van Zandt; 12:21 PM
Harrison said...: 100.3 is pretty good for classic rock and it is in HD.
Anybody else mad about digital TV being moved back, cause I am; 12:21 PM

michael said...: Harrison, AC/DC is harmless, you should be flogged for your unkind words. What did they ever do to you?; 12:22 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: I just got it with AT&T along with a channel called PALADIA which is noothing but Live music in HD.

Soundsatge, Crossroads, Storytellers and such.

I'm hoping to catch the MTV Live form the 10 spot Radiohead performance I have on VHS somewhere.; 12:22 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I love VH1 Classic, however they need to have more concerts on there, the loop of Rush and Motley Crue they have had lately is getting old.

It's funny to see Waters stance change, since in the mid 80's he sued them over the name because he figure the world thought he was Pink Floyd anyway.; 12:23 PM

michael said...: I side with Waters on the lawsuit. He was more Pink Floyd than the three of the other guys combined.; 12:24 PM
Anonymous said...: Michael,

I think Roger is still a bit on the socialist side these days, but he has mellowed with age.

That Live 8 thing was awesome and the last you'll ever get from those 4, so if you have that, enjoy it.

I think they both realize how they needed each other through the years.; 12:25 PM

Okay, that was my Terets post for the day. Been a busy guy and just had to get on here and let it all out.

Peace Hotties!; 12:26 PM

WarEagleRK said...: I think it was equal parts Waters & Gilmour.

Without Gilmour's guitar tone and playing and his voice, Waters wouldn't have had the same chance to get his message to the masses.; 12:27 PM

Well written, RK. Don't count out how much Richard and Nick contributed to those arrangements. Richard was the purest musician in that group. Roger took control when Syd bailed because no one else would/could and that worked for four great records. The song High Hopes is pretty much all about that band's life, albeit told through Dave's eyes.; 12:29 PM
Nooj4AU(qualify tyrick!) said...: High hopes was written about the life of pink floyd.; 12:30 PM

Aubie said...: Paladia is also on Charter HD here in the 'ham.
I love all the UK music festivals in HD.
Iggy Pop was on the other day showing a lot of plumber's crack in a skintight pair of pants. My kids couldn't believe that shriveled up old fart was dancing around like that... meaning Iggy... not me.; 12:31 PM
michael said...: This takes me back to high school when I used to argue the merits of Waters and Gilmour. Pink Floyd would not have been iconic without Gilmour, but with another guitarist they still could have put out some hits. I don't think Gilmour would have done much of anything without Waters. Just my opinion.

And Harrison, just because you were a victim of a dirty deed done dirt cheap doesn't mean you have the right to be a jerk. At least they didn't use TNT or HIGGGHHH VVOOOLTAGE!!!!; 12:32 PM

Chris in Inverness said...: Aubie - have you been approached by AT&T's U-verse cable system?

We lowered our payment by 60-70 bucks and ADDED HD we didn't have.

We got the basic 200 channel setup and added some cool cool s**t.

Paladia's got some awsome stuff. I saw Iggy with the Stooges ripping it up. He was basically in the corwd the entire time. Cool.; 12:35 PM

Aubie said...: Chris,
First of all, heard you on jox yesterday - great call about the bammer bball/recruiting issue.
Secondly, I hate Charter with all my soul. If the Taliban had a cable company I would use them. I need to check on the AT&T deal. The issue I have is with internet and email. We have had the same charter email address for 8 years and I don't want to have to change.; 12:39 PM
Aubie said...: Yes Nooj, it's my poop hat. It keeps me warm and moist.

Dear Leader is actually on the page! Just scroll down a little way.; 12:43 PM
michael said...: Widespread is good Nooj. Saw them live once. Not worth me getting their albums, but pretty good.

I was really into Phish back in the day, though.; 12:43 PM
Harrison said...: I too hate Charter. They are the only cable option in Auburn. I bet they are owned by AC/DC; 12:45 PM
Miller said...: Anon,
I'm thinking they are visiting recruits in Tallyhassy
(Corey Gaines - 4* DT, visiting this weekend; Jawanza Starling - 4* safety/LB; James Green - 4* WR, UTenn commit)

Nooj,
Yes, I am a Panic fan.; 12:45 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I've seen Panic twice. Both good shows. I'm not a big fan, but I like them.

I would like to see them now that Jimmy Herring is in the band. He's an excellent guitar player.; 12:47 PM
mytommyd said...: Michael .... Phish? Panic? You party guy you. Enjoyed Panic more at their show, but it may have been the venue and general, ummm, "atmoshpere" was going a little bit stronger than at the Phish show.; 12:47 PM
Miller said...: I saw Panic twice. Once in ATL on New Years Eve (Great show... At least the parts I remember), and once in Macon (don't remember much of this one, I think it was a good show).; 12:49 PM

Chris in Inverness said...: AT&T -- if becomes available in your area check it out.

I have a faster internet service now than I ever did with Cahrter and I can do things with my TV like check my call log, later, check email and DVR 4 channels at once.

Also, I can watch any of the shows I have DVR'd from any TV in the house. I can only record and delete from one but they said soon I'll be able to DVR from all TVs.

Check it out somewhere -- Its called AT&T U-verse. The guy who we bought it from said just about everyone in Meadowbrook signed up and one guy got it for his home in ATlanta but had no idea it was available there.

And as far as my calls, I've called D&B for years now & really respect those guy compared to F'Baum.; 12:54 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: You can check availability here.

Chris in Inverness said...: Nooj - I'm in the 35242 Meadowbrook section of Shelby Co.

Its beginning to expand. I highly recommend and am finding MANY MANY peeps who dislike Charter.; 1:03 PM

No AT&T in my section of the 'burbs either. They will notify me when it is available.; 1:07 PM

Btw, Jimmy Herring is a legend.; 1:12 PM
