Petrucci & Myung Meet-n-Greet teasers

**leftyguitarblue** · 08-06-2009, 09:25 AM

It was a blast. The Dubaldo's continue to be the best little shop I've ever been to. What a nice family. And it was a pleasure meeting JP, JM, Protochicken (Jonah) and Mrs Protochicken, Lou (well, Lou). Even John Denner made an appearance who was a very nice guy.

Here are some of my pics from the day... video coming soon.

JP confused about what he is holding.

Hey lefty, I think you forgot one picture

**leftyguitarblue** · 08-06-2009, 09:42 AM

you're welcome Nils.

Oh, I almost forgot. Pete hooked a few of us up with some DT tickets for the show that night. Freakin awesome. JP's tone is OUT OF CONTROL good.

Just kidding...

Great time meeting everyone. Pete was more than generous with food and tix and plenty of other stuff. JP and JM were very cool and JP even drooled over several of his own guitars, LOL.

I'm glad I bit the bullet and bought the DD2. MWHAHAHHA!

LOL, my wife said I look like a stoner who just saw a plate of brownies.

Did you happen to catch on video JP's confusion over the inlays on the Dargie? "Hey that's my guitar, where are my shields"?

Awesome pics chaps - thanks for posting.

It was great meeting all you guys. Pete and Nick and the whole DuBaldo family thanks for everything, the free DT ticket offer was so nice. Also talking picking technique with John Denner was very cool.

Lefty and Lou you guys rule, and Ernie was one of the greatest characters I've ever met, my wife was still cracking up over some of the things he said on our drive home.

And of course JP grabbing my guitar and saying, "wow, that's awesome" was icing on the cake.

I look forward to seeing all you guys again. And hopefully getting more lasagna too.

Nice Scott! The look on JP's face holding your guitar is priceless.

Be great to have a M&G like this in L.A.

Pete...you really need to open a store out here.

Thanks. He looked at it and said "I love that rosewood, it's great." he took it and I said "it's weird right?" and that's the face he made. it was a great moment for me.

When the mayor gave JP and JM a framed citation from the town, JM asked if "this could get him out of a ticket?" It was funny from a guy who never talks.

I missed that. Damn do you have that on video as well?

And the picture of Petrucci with your guitar is an absolute classic.
