That sounds pretty cool John. Sorry to have missed you anyway.

Pictures of planes would be great!

Don't forget - When in Rome...
Rome? I'm in Rome? ...I knew that 0 degree longitude thing was a lie. Well at least that explains all the Italian I'm hearing on the streets. There are places where English is about the last language you hear. London is quite the cosmopolitan city.

Peter...too bad you couldn't make it down, I was looking forward to meeting the official RIO photographer :mrgreen: Perhaps sometime later this year...

But of course!!! I knew that Graham secretly wanted this guitar...I mean REALLY wanted it, but surprisingly couldn't muster whatever it takes to "just do it." (must be the residual effects of modeling the Hoffs' under-things). At any rate, in an attempt to provide a justifiable alibi, he went gallivanting off to the loo just before this particular instrument came up on the block. I figured....he's being an incredibly gracious host, he's a great friend....what choice did I really have? "Do unto others" is what my mother always taught me...
Well? We are waiting for the news, guys!!! 8)

Some big guy outside the Boeing Chalet kept saying, "Invitation Only!!!" Apparently your advance preparations got lost somewhere over Iceland.... :(
