I had 2 hot dogs at Hot Doug's in Chicago.

--1 "the dog" (regular) with everything + sauerkraut
--1 "Keira Knightley" (supposedly spicy but not at all) with everything

Probably the most disappointing visit to a hyped restaurant I've ever had...people hyped the shit out of it before. They were great, high quality hot dogs, but literally no different than the vienna beef dogs you can get on any corner. Maybe the ingredients were laid out with less sloppiness than your average place... I would not be able to tell the difference in a blind taste test. On the other hand, they had all kinds of exotic sausages and dogs that I need to try next time, which is probably what they're famous for. I went simple today.

also, Midway had a studio across the street. Looked dark, closed, and bleak.

I totally need tot set up my guitar too. Some screw in one of the saddles is missing on the bridge so one string always has bad intonation. And I generally believe that there are some other minor adjustments to be made for my guitar to be perfect.

Yeah it's the purple one. I now have Fender strings on my guitar. The pick is a little too thick (2 mm) but I already think it's kinda better to play with than the Jazz III pick I've been using for so long. The smooth texture of the Big Stubby makes for smooth playing without getting your pick 'stuck' much between the strings.

And I'm not a big fan of D'Addario's. They're too hard to bend imo. Super Slinky's are damn awesome when you first put them on. So smooth and easy to play on. But the bad side is they rust too fast.

I've never used Ernie Balls much but Paul Gilbert uses them so they must be good.

I also found he uses Tortex 0.60 picks - which is what I've used for as long as I remember. That makes me feel special.

I always found D'Addario's broke too easily. I've always preferred the Ernie Ball's, and actually the same ones Powerslave picked up are all I use any more.

That said, I found this cheap at a local pawn shop today:
