    I wasn't there of course but don't you guys think, that from a distance, Doro (Mark) looks like George Clooney and the supporting cast around him Ocean's Eleven (or twelve, thirteen...I can't see everyone hiding in the back).

    Just what were you guys up to?

    It's actually called a reverse ****. He was constipated at the time so it came out the other end. You can tell by Lou's face that he didn't understand what was going on but a later photo [that will not be revealed] showed exactly what happened. The force of it was so strong that they are both left with no hair and the entire neighborhood was evacuated.

    I would be remiss if I didn't thank GMiller for his southern hospitality. We met him on the side of I-95 near Rocky Mount, so that Scott could deliver some speakers he bought. It was kinda like doing a quick and dirty drug deal...LOL

    Anyway, after the speaker deal went down, he and his daughter handed us a large bag loaded with NC BBQ, slaw, hush puppies and rolls. I'm a NC BBQ connoisseur and let me tell you, it was damn good. Thanks again, we really appreciated it.

    Edit: I almost forgot to thank you for donating the tuner for the raffle at Polkfest. Kudos!



    I should also mention that we did another quick and dirty deal with Tony Millard at a gas station in the effing middle of nowhere. Ben commented something to the effect that the surrounding area would be a great place to bury bodies as there was nothing out there, absolutely pitch black. It was great meeting Tony and his wife. Although I don't think she was real happy about the whole deal, she put on a good face. :)

    To F1nut , and the others I met. That was a dark place.It felt like a drug deal to me too as some gear transactions have to take place on the run sort-of.

    Nancy is kinda shy sometimes and she hates to put anybody through extra anything. She knew you guys had a long way to go and didn't want to delay you-all any more than I already had by not meeting you at a 95 exchange. She has fun being a sideline participant until she gets to know you. She did say the speakers are PRETTY and don't I have a pr. like them already...:rolleyes:

    I used to..:rolleyes:

    We ALMOST came down there. Seriously.ALMOST. She commented that you guys seemed like a good group of guys and I could go if I wanted. Remember the " you have to leave the credit cards at home though" comment.:(

    If she came down too, she would've had something in common to talk to the other ladies about for sure. Our obsession with music reproduction.

    I feel we both would've had a great time after reading all the previous posts over the last week.:D I have to admit I made a mistake by not having us go down for at least Sat. events. My shoulder and spirits should be up for the next closest one. See you there!;)
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
