    The Fest is rockin, the tubes are glowin, Doro's butter is gettin hard. Patrick is all we could hope for, young, tender, and eager.....a fine fellow actually, not sure if his head though is handling the liquor in the Mason Jar.

    The gear is stellar, lots of good music and of course kickin it with all the Polkies. My third SC Fest at BDT's and it just keeps getting better, what a host.

    FA will do her stuff today, we have a high wire being put up for a full on performance.

    Just finished about 9 pounds of pancakes. The perfect food foundation for 24 hours of drinking.

    Strider, The RT55's and stands are great!
    It was great meeting you ,F1nut and Millerlightscott on your way down to the Polkfest. I now have faces and voices to go with you guys whenever I read your posts.
    The wind must have been at your back too, for you seemed to be way ahead of where I thought you'd be.

    Strider, The question you had for me "is the money in the truck?" will always be an embarressment to my transaction skills.:o..
    Thank you again for being so gracious at that moment.

    I learned that non-drinkers are just as welcomed as anybody at a Polkfest and I'll try real hard to attend the next one.Promise.;)

    I kinda wish I was right there now telling you all this in person.

    ENJOY

    Great meeting you as well, Tony. As those were my first set of Polks, and first kind of hi fi gear of any kind, I'm glad they have found their way to someone who'll appreciate them.

    The 'Fest is just getting started for the day, should be only about 3 hours away from you at the most, come on down. Troy and Wendi are excellent hosts, you'll have a blast!

    Havin a rocking time at the fest. Good food good friends and good music. Troy and Wendi are awesome hosts and know how to throw a party. We raised a nice amount of money for the Githens center and I won a pair of Rti 1a's. Going back to the festivites I am getting sober sitting here in front of the computer.

    Drunk with envy here. Really wanted to make it and hook up with some old friends and make some new face to face friends.

    Salt in the gaping wound Shack, thanks. Beleive me, some of us know how bad we've f'd up and are just trying to make things right.

    Quit posting and drink more. Your post is way to coherent for this far into PF. Give Abernathy a reach around for me, he has no idea how much I miss puking in front of him off Troy's deck.

    Cheers,

    There is an Emotiva amp in the front yard.....we pissed on the ashes. It sounded like **** on a pair of Pioneer floorstanders.....

    Jesse just spit on a receiver...it would have been awesome but it was my receiver. ****.

    another polkfest comes to a close. Dave and I had a blast as usual. There was food, tunes, alcohol, leg humping, more alcohol........repeat as needed.

    thanks again to Troy and Wendi for hosting us yet again.

    I got a long drive tomorrow (12 hours or so) but it was worth it.

    luckily I will not have so long of a drive next year, for Polkfest will take place at my Pad. Polkfest 2010....Dirty Jersey Style!

    I think we actually did have a human sacrifice last night.

    Hat is off to you Troy for hosting. I can well imagine the time and work you and your family put into this. Well done Sir.

    PS - Did you ship the sacrifice home or will it remain a permanent resident somewhere on your property.

    Ok...is anybody missing? Patrick are you still with us?

    Troy...I think I saw your liver last night in the front yard. It was disgusting, so I doubt you want it back.
