Paul, it was nice meeting you also.

I'd like to thank EVERYONE who came to the SoCal Confluence. Everyone who came, helped make it a great event.
Thanks to John and Cindalee Hall for their enormous generosity and attending the confluence. It was great to see Hautewerk perform again (Sorry you missed them again John B.) Thanks to Dalia W. for finding my camera at Malone's. I would have lost so many great pictures if she didn't find it.
Thanks to the SoCal guys, especially Gary for putting this together. Thanks to Alison for getting us fed Friday and Saturday nights.
It was great seeing people again as well as meeting some for the first time. Thanks to Richard Bengston for running out and buying some extra guitar stands and for taking more pictures for the memory books.
Aitch, thanks for the laughs, fun and saving Danny Pezzin's performance Saturday night!

Thanks to the group of guys that bought dinner for Gary, Diane and I, Sunday night. Darren and Robyn, you guys are the best, thanks for dinner Monday night. When I was concerned about how the confluence would go or how it was going, Tammy and Steve assured me that everything was cool, thanks guys!
Thanks to Kenny for another great performance and thanks for the TR plate.
Thanks to Jeffrey Scott for the cover photo for the memory books. My only disappointment with the confluence is that Jeffrey didn't make it.
Nice to see that Dave Pascoe is not just a collector, but an excellent musician also. Special thanks to Dave and Lisa. Diane had a great time with Lisa and Robyn on Friday.
Thanks to my wife Diane, for her help and support and nice job on the memory books. There will be more memory books next year. Get your pics ready!
Considering feedback from attendees, Gary and I have already discussed some minor changes to planning next year's SoCal confluence. We want to make the 2008 confluence the very best SCRC hosted by the SoCal forumites yet.
I have more thank yous, but I do have to get to work!
All you guys are awesome. Like Jdog said last year, "A great group of instant best friends"

Gary, Diane, Joey, and the folks from RIC helped put on a great show. Let's do it again, say, next weekend?

And a big thank you to Alison for all her assistance in coordinating the dinners and her other contributions and to all the folks from RIC who made so many good things happen !

Jeffrey the memory books were fabulous. The pic was an absolute perfect fit for the cover. Great Job! Paul W. had a great smile on his face when he won... It was a terrific idea and Dianne did a beautiful job putting three of them together in rapid fashion. They looked amazing! Kudos to all.. a treasure indeed.

I'm looking at mine now, and it's a great piece of work--just perfect. I'll be looking to add to it next year, too.

Thanks loads to Dianne and Joey for a terrific idea and flawless execution!
