Much like Mother Teresa and Sally Struthers, the Fishman is very big on giving back to the community. In this case it's the 12-volt installers community. Fishman conducts his own "Fish Camp" at the Installer Institute, which is sort of the MIT for the mobile electronics industry. This makes Fishman some sort of Professor of Mobiletronolgy.
The 48/hr Training Day was a condensed version of the Fish Camp. At the Tuner Bash, Fishman selected an '01 Honda Civic for the surgical procedure and he joined forces with LJ Garcia from Ichibahn to improve on the performance mods.
Fish and LJ worked on the Civic for 48 hours straight throughout the Bash and while the car was not completed, that was not the purpose of the Training Day. Fish spent most of his time fielding questions from the crowd and sharing some of his trade secrets with his little guppies. We found ourselves gawking at the level of craftsmanship that goes into some of these enclosures. We haven't been this excited about education since we first saw Ms. Walker-our junior high biology teacher.

Goo Goo Who?Pioneer Electronics Brings the Rock and Roar to the Bash
I have no idea who the Goo Goo Dolls are or what songs they might sing. I'm told they're one of the hottest bands around. I guess I'm just not as cool as a 23-year-old guy should be. I used to be down, that is until PRIMEDIA started draining my body into the lifeless carcass that it has become.
Come on, like none of you ever thought that Poison was the ish, or that Warrant would lead rock into the new millennium. Nobody could have ever guessed that Slaughter would go out with the Hair Band revolution. I guess it doesn't really matter if I know who the Goo Goo Dolls are, because there are tens of thousands of people who do.
Pioneer Electronics forked out tons of cheddah so that everyone in Daytona Beach could enjoy a free concert during the first night of the Spring Break Tuner Bash. It was all part of the Pioneer Rock and Roar Concert Series. And I think the show even went down at the Plaza Resort & Spa. But then again, what the hell do I know? Spring break! Woohoo!
Halfway through "Iris," Dan and Jimmy started spooning each other tightly, singing along word for word. They claimed that it was just to keep each other warm, but we saw the sparkle they shared in each other's eyes. The only time they let go of each other was to raise a lighter to share the rock 'n' roll spirit. Then they started sniffling and crying. We're starting to wonder about those two.-RC
Crystal ClearGlow sticks For Everyone
XM Satellite Radio Presents an Exclusive DJ Set By Ken Jordan And Scott Kirkland, The Crystal Method. Whew, that was a long sentence wasn't it? Well, that's how XM Satellite Radio wanted it, and they sponsored the concert.
They also requested that no brown M&Ms be left in their candy dish and that all their canned foods be grouped together by content, lined up alphabetically, and stored with the labels facing outward.
"Is that them?" Nads kept whispering to me when the opening DJs started mixing on stage. "Leave me alone, I don't listen to this video-game-sounding stuff," I yelled back. So he decided to call Jonny and ask him what the dilly was. Once Jonny heard the trance music in the background, he started jumping around frantically like he was on the NordicTrack. The fun finally stopped when Jonny stepped on a glow stick, fell on his coffee table, and broke his mom's sunglasses. We still don't know why Jonny is wearing her glasses. Dan got really into The Crystal Method music and started dancing around as well. He bumped into Jimmy, who was wearing his roller shoes, knocked over some sales guy who was getting dissed by models, and then tumbled into the DJ booth. Records were scratched and the music stopped. Jimmy was mad because the wheels on his roller shoes didn't retract and he ruined his only pair of clean pants when Dan knocked him over.-RC
