Ok SLO is beautiful. MM has got the Coastal Beauty. We(Ernie Ball) down in the Desert
have it made too.


Take a look..........

Blue Skies 360 days a year.

P.S. Also we have better mexican cuisine than SLO could ever dream of.
 
Wow, Derek! Those are great pics! I was just driving down Washington yesterday and looking at the mountains that border Indian Wells. Absolutely stunning, this area we live in...
 
Oh yeah, AMEN about the Mexican food...

[low, booming announcer voice] "It's....TACO WARS!!!"

El Mexicali in Indio beats Chilie Pepper's in San Luis Obispo ANY DAY...

OK, way too much food talk on the forum -- going to lunch, RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE
 
My best friend Fred Drake (RIP) opened and operated Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree. I loved going out there and hanging out with him - he recorded Queens of the Stone Age, Victoria Williams, Daniel Lanois worked with him for a bit....it was always fun.

And what a beautiful place. Fred left us a couple of years ago, but the Rancho is still open and doing well and managed by some of the coolest guys ever.

That's Fred. One of the best drummers ever.
 
Hey if you guys ever have need to hire a Canadian software guy... I'm more than willing to relocate ;) It'd be the perfect hire ... I'd work, you'd pay me, I'd give you the money right back buy buying equipment/strings/swag ... anyhow, let me know. I'm currently looking for different employment.

Oh, and either location would work for me.

LOL!
From what I've seen over the last week or so, you're doing a way better job than the travel agents around here. ;)
You've got me wanting to visit. That is for sure!
 
Just out of curiosity....let's say I do make it for the Open House (85% sure right now), would Big Poppa be up for a game of golf at the location in picture #4? I have clubs and they will travel! ;)
