It was like Guitar Center, BUT .......Better Gear, better players (older too). and no obnoxious music blaring over the top of it all.

No Dumbass Salespunks either!

Oh yeah, it was really loud!

I was suprised to see Glen Kuykendall there, what a player!

The Egnater Rebel was the hit for me. so small, so versatile, so tasty!

The only suggestion I would make for next year would be to hand out ear plugs at the door, to those like me that forgot them.

Did I mention how loud it was?

Hey Germ,
I went after work, around 3PM and asked about you. They said you "left early".
Sorry I missed you. Been meaning to call you.

About the show: its a great idea, but really (really) needs some improvement. Better sound isolation is one. Losing the bags of chips and dirty water jugs is another. Get me involved next year and I'll spring for some water bottles for christ's sake. Too bad there wasn't a better forum for Glen Kuykendall; it was hard to hear him in that noisy lobby. Again, all this could be easily improved. I applaud the folks who thought of this, and will support any efforts to keep it going and turn it into the class act it deserves to be.
