Well, honestly I think you should invest your time in building quality relationships with people in your life long-term, and not worry about being with some would-be rock star for one night. But if you just want to meet someone famous or semi-famous in the music industry, one way is to contact the local music newspapers and web sites and offer to interview the performers coming to your area, in return for press credentials. Unless it is a mega-act who has no trouble going platinum with every CD and selling out every show, you'll probably get close to the artist in some form or fashion and you won't have to get undressed or make out with another chick in front of a stadium crowd to do it. ~Blackbelt

Hmm. OK $3,000 or so would go toward an "heirloom quality" guitar, such as a Gretsch White Falcon or the Reverend Horton Heat model. I'd spend another $1,000 on a Variax 600, and another $999 on a small P.A. system/mics. I'd spend the remaining dollar on another lottery ticket. Yeah, I know...there's still another 5G's unaccounted for. Well, Mrs. Blackbelt would get that - and my GAS list would be empty. ~Blackbelt
