Seriously though, that must have been some crazy stage lighting! It looks like you have a red/purple mohawk (which is even funnier when put by the classical guitar!).

Yeah. it was an interesting show and my head was "sunburned" afterwards because the lights were so hot. It was for the opening for a new Fender Telecaster called the "EG Standard", which was made by Giogliotti Guitars here in Seattle. The EG was from a good friend of mine, Evan Groom, who was a well-known local studio musician that probably taught the entire city of Tacoma how to play the guitar. He had died that year and the guitar was one he was working on when he died, so it also turned into an Evan Groom tribute. It was a crazy gig! There were some cool musicians there: a couple of the guys from Sublime, the Warbabies, Notorions, some people from Sub-Pop and a myriad of others. There was even some crazy banjo player looking for a record deal. It was a wild night. It was held in a waterfront club. Funny thing is that I was actually under 21 at the time and shouldn't have been allowed in, but Evan was kind of like my Football coach, he was the go-to guy with any problems; think The White Shadow. I am a teetotaler, so I left completely sober. The guitar was great; very buttery. It has since been discontinued when the luthier went out of business.
