Joel Hoekstra was the guest guitarist for the episode of TMS that I was lucky enough to attend. Seeing his name in this article reminded me of how cool that show was and brought back memories of a time not too long ago where like minded people could gather together and have fun.
A couple of years ago I was at a la guns show in sacramento . I was outside having a smoke and I see Phil and we were bsing and he was telling me how he had just done one of these cruises and got sick(sea sick) as hell the whole time he was on board. I told him about the patch you can get from the doc that helps prevent sea sickness because I get sick as hell in the ocean myself and that patch worked for me more than once. Hopefully he remembers that,lol. I would like to do one of these cruises sounds like fun . But I`m afraid of the sea sickness kicking in even with the patch . It was good for a few hours I dont know how it`ll work for multiple days. This would be a fun one for sure.
