Gary: Thanks for all the terrific photos. Surely a night to remember.

Wish I could've stayed longer. Gary's camera was busy. Paul, you did an outstanding job putting it together - you can coordinate my wedding any day!

Thanks to Paul for coordinating such an outstanding event! It was great meeting all of you and I really appreciate you all welcoming me into my first Ric event. I look forward to the next one!

Wow! Great pics and it looks like everyone had heaps of fun. It is nice to see that there were so many great looking Rickenbackers in attendance too. Welcome to the forum Vito btw.

Vaporized by a phaser, or else exploding head, like in Scanners! That was really funny moment.
Additional thanks to Rich for the Advil; I'd some how managed to twist into an odd position whilst asleep Friday night and woke up with a mean stiff neck and shoulders, as well as left arm. After a couple of Advil, followed by a Crown and Coke (Zero) or two, everything loosened up and I felt much better.
Thanks for taking all of the pictures Gary, Rich, and for shooting the video, Gary; I always seem to leave my camera at home...it must be because of all of the other stuff I dragged with me:
Vox AC30 HW
Fender `65 Twin Reverb RI
Pedal board
Rick 381/12
My three WBs: AZ Blue, TUR (oops, forgot to play that one), and "Big Red"
2 guitar stands
cooler
ice
drinks
The only Rick I didn't bring was my 381/6; it probably would have fit, since I brought it last time along with all the rest of the gear, plus Graham and his F model, but it would have been a squeeze, and I was in major pain at the time.
Rich took a pic of everything stuffed into my car, which is a Ford Focus.

Yesterday was a lot of fun. Thanks for organizing the jam Paul!.
Thanks to John and Cindalee for coming and bringing Hautewerk. Hautewerk is sounding really good.
Good to see the So Cal guys again. It was nice meeting Vito, Bob and Brian. Vito and Collin, we'll definitely have to do those Pearl Jam and U2 songs next time!!
Sorry I missed Scott. I worked in the morning.
Gary, thanks for the DVD's of the So Cal Minicon Jam II.
Now I have pics to resize.
Did anyone get any decent pics of me with my Monty Brown 4003FL? I forgot charge our camera battery before yesterday and it didn't last through the day.
