Thanks to BP and everyone...

[fsmith]

at Ernie Ball Musicman. That was without a doubt one of the best weekends I've ever spent. You all deserve a huge thanks for taking the time to put on such a production. I can't begin to imagine the time spent pulling all this together, everyone was so friendly and helpful, you guys rock. Special thanks to Jon and Dudley for being so patient with all of us.

To all the artists, Luke, John, Steve, John, Dave, Tony, Vinny, I don't know that you'll all read this but big thanks go out to you and your family's for taking the time out of your busy schedules to fly out to SLO to spend the weekend with a bunch of knuckleheads. I doubt that there will ever be a time and place that so much ability can come together at one time again, I'll never forget it.

BP, thanks don't begin to cover what you did for us. I'll be forever grateful, and although I doubt it will happen if there is ever anything I can do for you, you've got it. The one thing I can and will do is spread the word about one of the greatest companies involved in the music business. Truly a class act, one and all.

To all the forumites who were able to make it out there, thanks for the memories, you are a great group of people and enjoyed the time I was able to spend with you all. Special thanks to Tommy and Janice for pulling everything together. I'm really glad I got to meet as many of you as I did and wanted to say thanks to Keith, NorM, Darrell, Glenn, The DuBaldo brothers, ThinDave, Beej, Chuck Ward, SteveB & Angela, DaveB, Koogie, MikeVT & his wife, francric & his wife, Ernie & Lisa, Arin, Tokkes, Victoria & Joe, I was honored to hang with you all. (If there was anyone I missed, I apologize...)

I've posted all of the pics that turned out on my webshots page, just follow the link in my signature.

Thanks again to all for an incredible weekend.

Fred man the pleasure was all mine. Glad to have been able to meet you and hang with you over the weekend. Sounds like we should have stayed longer after the show, such is life huh.

I agree with Shamus63, nice slingshot I had to take another look at that.

Thanks for evreything fred. I wish I were as tall as you. Or even 5'7".

Fred,

You're a really cool guy, and hanging with you was as comfortable as slipping on an old pair of sneakers. I wish I could have stayed longer in SLO but I had to get back 'cause my wife has no vacation time from her job.

I'll definitely put you on notice if I ever get to Baltimore.

Steve the feeling is definitely mutual... I had a great weekend, it's a shame you didn't stay at the Sands. Anyhow, if you're ever in this neck of the woods, just holler.

Hey Tommy,

You were the first forumite I met when I pulled into the hotel. Very cool because it was a pleasure watching you play. The first song you and BP and John did was great. Very tasty. What was that?

Great to meet you

 

[DaveB]

Fred,

Great to hang with you man.....

My only dissapointment is that we didnt get enough info on your wifes r*ck.

You'd built it up so much I was dying to see......

Seriously though I had a blast with you - anytime you're in London we need to hook up.

Take it easy

Ref. the "slingshot": you weren't there to hear the other comments Fred and Thom made about her/it/the tag being bigger than the attire, etc. etc. Of COURSE he had to take a pic of it and share it with you all... but, did he post any pics of the bellydancers that were there?? Nooo-oooo. Makes one go 'hmmmmm....', doesn't it?
