UPDATE: This is a private event

We’ve long since grown numb to hearing about new iPhone apps, but this one we saw via Mashable we thought was pretty awesome.

Have a look at the iRig for iPhone (also iPad or iPod), which lets you plug your instrument into a mobile device and listen through headphones or connect to an external system. Take it a step further with AmpliTube software and voilà, you’ve got yourself virtual pedals, amps and cabinets!

Did you know that you can buy and print front row tickets for Don and Grand Funk Railroad’s July 23rd performance at the Waukesha County Fair on your own personal computer?

Well, now you know.
