Photos from Boston Petrucci GC Sessions and report

[Big Poppa]

Hello Kids

Believe it or not I had never been to Boston before....I arrived in the dark and left at daybreak....Got off the plane to a car to a video shoot to a brief meeting with Jp to watching Don Lappin....Great Great player! They actuall let me go to the bathroom and then we did our session for I guess about two hours and then we signed autographs for about 2 hours then we got to have some food..... hadnt eaten all day....good thing Im tough!

Got to meet a few knuckleheads and got to take them along with the GC boys to some pizza....
I was so impressed with this GC and its team...Wow could be best of chain. Eddie the manager runs a tight ship with a real good staff that seems happy to be there. I also was really impressed with the Berklee students....The furute of music is secure there!

I love that some Berkelee students claimed to be knuckleheads so they could get free food....They didnt think I was on th them but I love that whole college beat the system thing. One of them actually signed up and thanked me on another thread Its all so good!

Thanks to Jay, Jon, Glen, Derek Dustin and all for putting this together

BP, Wendy and I had a great time, thanx for the food and the awesome show. I think I had the best seat in the house, but that's for another thread. The GC people were really cool and meeting everyone was excellent!!!

Your right Eddy does run a tight ship, and everyone that worked there seemed to love it. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

JP looked like he had an excellent time and did an awesome job as always. I had the best view of his hands and your too BP. Wendy says she plays bass the same way as you do.

Thanx again. Just out of curiousity, any chance of getting Albert to do one of these??

I was so impressed with this GC and its team...Wow could be best of chain.

I had sworn off GC for 10 years before ordering 2 JP BFR's from that store this year. I was so impressed by the way Larry in guitars treated me that I wrote a letter to his District Manager. Great store, great staff, things seemed to really have changed once they moved to that location. He let me spend hours in the high end room comparing the old JP models versus the BFR's even though they had no lefties and I was playing them upside down.

I guess I made the wrong choice in going to dinner with friends instead of the Sessions. Oh well, at least my wife keeps reminding me what a dumb choice I made.

Looks like you all had a great time!

I swear I will make it to one of these someday.

I'm gonna go completely off topic here but where will I find one of those Ubercool shirts JP is wearing ?

He hung in like a champ till I think he realized that he'd fall asleep on the table. He signed up on the site here to become an official knucklehead and has been searching for those pix since about 8am Sunday morning. (hi jonathan!)

So let me get this right, the Knuckleheads in attendance got to go have pizza with BP and JP?

If so, way too cool.

And Lou, nice new guitar! Did you get any comments on your t-shirt?

[Lou]

No comments on the shirt. I was going to wear my 'That top sucks' shirt, but I wasn't sure if I'd be hanging around outside for a while - I'm a wuss in the cold weather. Turned out it was hotter than hell in GC, and I was inside the whole time.

And yes we went out with them!

 

[Kaloyan]

it seems everyone was in high spirits. good for all of you guys

 

[King Loudness]

Woah, let me know if you guys ever do one in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada! I'd LOVE to attend one of those. Meeting JP AND BP in the same place? It's a dream come true for a prog fan and EBMM fan such as myself!
