    I'm not sure "chickened out" is the right term...the man is in intense therapy after what he witnessed last year. Scarred for life!

    Shoot, let's be real...he fell in love. You saw him showing off the photos, right? And he refuses to delete them.

    Tom

    We ALL saw them Tom.... and I must say I bet you look mighty fine in a pair of skinny jeans and flip-flops.

    Porsche Boxter or a Miata would just put you over the top! :p

    I should be there in about 12 hours. Take my son to school at 8, 2 hour drive, stop off at Total Wine & Spirits...

    Looking forward to a great Friday.

    My sound is completely trumping what I had at axpona. You boys are in for a treat.

    If that room is sounding better, I do not think "treat" is the proper word. You had an incredible sounding room at AXPONA.

    Very nice! It looks like it will be a great time. I wish I could be there to meet everyone and hear all of the systems, but it is just a little too far from upstate NY (btw, are there any Audio Fests in NY?). Have a great weekend at LSAF, Polkies!
