Well, if you do, Tecate beers and HN hot dogs will be available. I understand that Dave Friedman and I will be trying to get the same room area, near George, Bogner, etc. That was a fairly good time down there at the end of the hall last year...near the ice machine...and the restaurant (bar!).... :lol:

Oh yeah! I was supposed to make it there two years ago. I was actually in L.A. for something else and had a serious family emergency come up, so I couldn't make it. We'll see how my schedule works out this year. :twisted:

Made it up there today! Was great hanging out w/George and the gang. The amps sounded freaking great. Played the 45/100 dimed with my '63 Strat and George's Fuzz Face ha ha. :D Got the new Straight cab. Absolutely fantastic work! Heading up tomorrow with a couple of "surprises"

Oh my friggin God! The plexi rep 45/100 stack is it. I got to talk with George and listen to the amps. George it was a pleasure talking to you and wish I had more time to do so. Got a few pointers on my 45/100 build. I have totally for got about the m company of amps as they don't even compare any more. Metro flat out kicks m butt. Hit the ground running for the new year and God Bless you and your business George. And thanks for being so friendly and Gracious to me.

My pleasure! This show seemed to take on a much more laid back atmosphere than others, I'm sure due to the smaller attendance. I'll be honest, it was very slow much of the time. I think we had only four people come into the room during the first 3 hours on Sunday. But it did pick up later.
It felt like everyone took this as an opportunity to talk a little longer, try different amp/cab combinations, catch up with old friends etc. Nothing felt rushed at all, which was nice.

Glad you enjoyed visiting us!
