Besides, if a bunch of us can make it, it'll be Nate and a gang of grey haired old farts. Kind of GHOF. No white and black make up, just grey hair, Rickenbackers, and ales. Lots of Rics and ales. Yup. I'm there... have to carry the flag you know...

You should make it a point to see the Falls, Aitch! Spectacular for a first-timer!

Nate, welcome back to the States soon!

Falling Water is in a nice area, the place is a wonderful natural area and the tour through the place is a must, quite interesting.

Hey... I don't have grey hair...

but I've been known to wear hats to hide the fact that I'm losing it already...
What do you mean the Bass is too loud???

Speaking of hats... Let's all wear the 'offical' Rick hat when we go to the falls! Hahahah.

Grey, white, balding, bald.... doesn't matter much... in the end it's irreversible. I live with it comfortably. I'll make sure I pack 2 or three 'official' hats, Nate! Image

OK - the Falls it is! If there's going to be a mid to late September NYRF or mini-NYRF, where would be most convenient for the majority?

WOW! The hospitality everyone is showing you Howard is brilliant!
Be assured that it will be reciprocated for any visitors to the "land of oz".
As to myself joining you and Darren on your trip,.....I WISH!
Ringo will be turning 1 around then, so my wife will be organizing a huge "do"! I won't be allowed out of this suburb, let alone the country!

I can understand that, Greg, and the first is second only to the 21st!

I wholeheartedly echo Greg's comments regarding visitors to Oz. We'd love to be able to show you some of our 'southern hospitality'.

What a great idea, Sheena! I'm sure there would be many who'd love to meet you.

Aitch: I haven't seen so much enthusiasm, excitement and "ink" for an overseas visitor since February 1964!

August is not the "perfect" time to come to Phoenix, but northern Arizona, with the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley, are certainly worth seeing if you have the chance.
