I've got a bunch of pix of forumites with Squire, as well as playing at the confluence. It'll just take a little longer to sort and catalog, please forgive.
I had conversation with Chris Squire's wife but I'm not sure I should post bits of it in public.
I was in such awe seeing him, I've never seen him play before, and he's THE reason I bought a bass in the first place! Coincidently, a Rick!

If anyone's still having trouble accessing the Yahoo! site AFTER they've been admitted, write me offsite and I'll try to help you on a one-by-one basis.
I had an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience at the 75th. But I've been absolutely buried in work (guitar and otherwise) since getting back. I echo every positive comment made so far, and then some.
John and Cindalee Hall are on my list of "selflessly generous people whom I hope to always count as friends".
Ben and Ariel were both great, fun and informative to be with, and I look to the future and foresee their roles in the company expanding so dad and mom-in-law can rest a bit more!
Kenny (you know who you are, dood) did a hell of a job channelling John Lennon and George Harrison in one song, and was his usual high-spirited and energetic self despite an incredible workload. Hats off, KH!!! Schlepmeister and the guy who wrapped up lots of loose ends, in the trenches 100%.
Dale, you far exceeded my expectations. When I thought I was gonna meet a fellow luthier, I actually additionally met a very entertaining performer who at times seemed to be a long-lost brother, too.
EVERYONE else who I met and had a good laugh with, which must've been about 60% of all the attendees; Melissa and Mark, Bjorn, Darren, John W., John S., John A. John B.,, Jeffrey S., Jeff T., Ted S., Paul B., Graham, oh, Jeez, I'll have to stop 'cuz I gotta get to the office; today's a taping day.
MUCH more later.
I'll have a bunch of pics and some more lengthy reminiscences later on at the Yahoo! site.
BTW, if you have long written reminiscences, they, too can go onto the Yahoo site as well, in the FILES section. This can enable you to share with all, and save Peter some bandwidth. There are no 5K limitations, either. Post links here if you wish!

“I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did.”
