    Lucky ticket number 10

    Not long got home after spending second day at LIMS. Just had to post before going to bed - many, many hours of sleep to catch up on!

    Couldn't believe my luck last night at the brilliant UK Knuckleheads Bash when my raffle ticket - the lucky number 10 - was drawn out and I became the very proud owner of a Honey Burst ASS, signed by BP. Pics are already on other threads and more will follow here tomorrow. Thank you to Pete and BP for making this possible.

    Many forumites have expressed their thanks to Pete and all the guys at S & T for the party and I want to add mine. The whole event was a success - it was clear that a lot of work had gone into the organisation of it. Pete, you must be congratulated on a "Sterling" show. It was great to meet up with you again.

    Fellow forumites, Mrs OLPlayer and I enjoyed meeting up with so many of you last night. Too many to mention in a long list, but a few must be picked out - Mr and Mrs Colinboy, Strummer (Mrs OLPlayer is still nagging me about buying her a bass - thanks ), Smellybum and JimmyB, and of course, the Devil himself.

    Pete, the entertainment you lined up for us was awesome - loved it all - you spoil us!

    Will post more tomorrow when pics and vids are downloaded.

    Off to bed now - Mrs OLPlayer in the spare room, ASS sleeping with me

    I couldn't think of a better man to have won that guitar as deservedly as you did. Lady luck was definately your lady that night.

    Hey - at the ALOC photo shoot I thought "who is that big guy who has me by the throat?" -now I know. I'm sorry that we were unable to have a chat - damn it!
    we'll have a beer next year if there's another.
    Cheers in the meantime

    Don't worry Spud, I might be big, but I don't bite... (Just don't get me angry!) I'm glad I brought the AL for the picture! The man himself signed it for me afterwards and said he loved the MM90's! That's my kind of guitarplayer!

    We'll meet again next year! Cheers!

    I got one with Smelly's camera, but it was quite dark. I think the guy taking the pics was a friend of Pete's...
