How To Sharpie a Guitar (In Just Under Four Minutes)  
This video is the camcorder disaster of which I spoke on Twitter last night. Technical problems too long and boring to relay plagued the making of this video, but finally, it is done.

This summer, as I have mentioned before, I am going on tour in July for FOREVER, in my car, (blue)Loki. It is a 3,700 mile trip of splendor (no, really, it is, check out the map)(all of the appearances are listed here).

In an effort to thank my readers for coming sometimes considerable distances to see me, I'm applying my Sharpie markers to two guitars and raffling them away at two of the locations. One of them will definitely be at the launch in Tyson's Corner, Virginia. The other will almost certainly be at one of the Canada appearances.

Anyway, the wonders of technology means that as I sat down yesterday to Sharpie one of the guitars, I set up a video camera. And now I shall make it look like you, too, can do it in four minutes.
 





That's a lyric from FOREVER on it, by the way.

Now, I am getting away from my blog because I have blogged 24 times in the last 3 days, or at least that's what it feels like. Away, away, away!

Questions. Did you sketch that out before you started or is it straight from your head?
And
How many sharpies did you go through? lol
