Was great meeting you guys.....except Billfort

(him I met and drank with before! )

Let's do this again soon....next time I'll bring a big STACK of albums that skip! :yes:

 

[Billfort]

Fun time and thanks for the hospitality Scott, always great to meet up with Ak'ers and I continue to be amazed by the quality individuals that frequent this place (accept Kam...who I've met before...so I know he's ok ).

A get together like this motivates me to get the listening room done, maybe next time we'll do it at my place for a taste of that goofy low power SET/high-eff speaker stuff and I promise to shut up about how evil the digital devil is (well, maybe not ).

 

[Bill Allan]

Thanks to Scott for taking the initiative and getting this together. I had a great time.. Wonderful hearing some new music and meeting all you guys. I'm quite looking forward to Next Time! Maybe we need to have a workparty at Billforts to help him get his new sound room together (the only thumbs I crush are my own). Sixty8mopar brought his new Thunderbird (please post a picture) which is very cool and very large!
Thanks again guys
Bill
