Commendations, certificates and the coveted Ancient Cross of Exceptional Service is on its way.

P.S. - would you happen to have a cell phone or other photographic image of the school girl playing the AL. Following up on initial intelligence, the people I've spoken to would just like some visual confirmation before "finalizing" our discussions

I think I would have got arrested if I took photos on School day.

I did have the forum family in mind when I saw the girls who were on the monster drinks stand. I would have loved to have got some shots of them - but duty came first and I couldn't leave my post

I gotta say - the EB stand was by far the best stand at a pretty sparse show...........highlight for me was taking my dad and my two boys to the EB stand and my youngest son Dylan saying 'Daddy, these are the same as your guitars'......gave him his first guitar lesson tonight!

Glad you had a blast on the stand....if I'd have known which one you were I would have deffo hurled some abuse at you! LOL ;O)

Looks like you had a great time promoting the EB name (plus, no doubt a recruitment drive for for ALOC

)

Does that mean you get an employee discount or a Spud Murphy Signature model?

After a whole load of trouble with photobucket - here's a few more shots

Dave123 rocking out on an big Al Bass

Brian Kelner of the Busman bros. The guy he's pointing at is the Jim Dunlop rep who walked around the show all day not knowing that he had an Ernie Ball sticker on his back - now who put it there ??

This silo has been used in a few of the shows - it's a great guitar and nobody knows why it hasn't been snapped up - it plays like a dream

Some guy with an Al

Devil doing devilish things

Brian pulling in the crowds

Swapping licks at bedtime

Two ace guys!!

The fun carried on at mealtine!!
