Pre Thanksgiving Mini Con

Post by 8mileshigher »

It's that time of year, to Give Thanks for our Rickenbackers and some of the good friendships we've made through the Forum..... so a few of us met up at Backline Studios on Saturday afternoon for a little Mini Con jam and started our Thanksgiving week the right way. :D

Thanks, Rich for the organizing! Y'all have a great Thanksgiving!

Where's Paulie??? :?: :? :lol: Probably had a test to study for or some such.

Kidding aside, looks like a great time was had by all. Wish I could have been there. Even busy busy Collin made it! 8)
