I live with my brother, a drummer that has a separate account. The mailman can barely fit two in our mailbox.

I love their catalog. Replaces the old Sears Wish Book catalog for this old guy.

You can unsubscribe (which would be environmentally beneficial) and there are a bunch of other retailers. Vote with your feet!

Just talk to them while you are in there. I bought a few tuners and from and apparently that is excuse enough for them to call me several times a week to "see how they are working out for me".

Desmond, the obvious solution is to make your brother move out. You can entice him by saying:

“No, man, I’m serious, the best way to impress attractive women is to sleep in your car in Wal-Mart parking lots!! They won’t be able to resist your charms, particularly once they realize that you’re on a first name basis with all the Wal-Mart greeters at that particular store!!”

No, don’t thank me. I live to serve...

Wade, we know your married now but you must have been one smooth operator when you were single.

Catalogs are advertising. Guess who pays for that? I got news for ya. It ain’t SW.

“We sold a million bucks worth of your stuff last year. How many pages can we put you down for this year?”

Yeah, me, too. I was just reading the Sweetwater catalog this morning at breakfast.

Fortunately I don't have any brothers in the house who also get the catalog...

Sweetwater obviously doesn't have a clue how to market or sell guitars to savvy aficionados such as ourselves. After all, last year they only sold 125,000 guitars and brought in 750 Million in revenue. Just stop and think what they could do if they listened to us.
