There was some hope that their wouldnt be enough participation to hold the tourny, but just my luck, this year had a record turnout. I really wanted to come. I hope you all understand. :(

Scott, I understand. My bottom was flat from sitting in gyms watching 2 daughter's volleyball careers from around 1991 to 2005. Missed a lot of other things, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Got to the NCAAs 4 times.

I would have liked to meet up, but enjoy the weekend without guilt! :wink:

I hope I'm wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that the Warwick Rockstands are not good for RIC finishes. I have one and I've since stopped putting my Ricks on it.

Hmmmm..... I remember it said on the box..."Safe for all guitar finishes" Whatever that means. I thought Paul Boyer had two curved Warwick corner stands that are similar.

Steve, I could be wrong. I just thought I remember reading some complaints about the Rockstand leaving smudges on the finish and not just on Ricks.

Tammy, I have the Quick Loc five-stall stands, one of which you'll see tomorrow. Don't know about the Warwick ones.
