Thanks, Jerry.

I gave Jerry your home address, Melibee, so it looks like that didn't work.

I guess the only option now is to send it to me in Oz but I don't want to put you to any great trouble - or expense. I'll contact you off the forum, Jerry. Thanks again.

We had so much fun this weekend, meeting Howard and sharing dinners at Lindsay's house on Friday and our house tonight! I'll post some pictures tomorrow.... I'm glad they could catch our show on Saturday, as well. It was a great weekend - more when I can get pictures from our digital camera posted....

G'Day Aitch,

Greg, Ron and I are looking forward to your return.

Saturday October 14 sounds like a perfect time for a get together. How about we convene at my place? I think it will be easier for me to play host again this time, as you will have only just returned from your trip.

Ron & Greg, let me know if this date suits you guys.

Thanks again, Dean, we had a great time...mmm, steak tacos! It was indeed a fantastic weekend, and finally seeing your band was one of the highlights.

I'm off to take Howard to the train station, look out Chicago!

We just had dinner with Howard here in Chicago. This is his last day in the US before heading off to London. Howard had the only camera so we will have to wait for him to post the picture of the event. Our group was Jeff Thomas and his lovely fiance Becky, my wife Marianne, me, and of course Aitch. Our time was brief but pleasant nonetheless. It is so cool how a simple thing like a brand of guitar can bring people together.

Aitch is due tomorrow, so I've repaired the red carpet, told Matilda to be on her very best behaviour & tidied the spare bedroom.

I'm really looking forward to Aitches visit...pics will be posted!

Tony, please have Howard's PJs washed as soon as he arrives. Also, I recommend a fridge full of cool ones. Are you playing a show when he is there ? I want to go to a Mad gig !

Howard has certainly made the most of his vacation time so far. I envy him that. What a journey! He has visited with so many of us along the way and was able to take part in the 75th celebration. Definitely the trip of a lifetime.

I am playing two shows while Howard's here Steve, so I hope he likes loud music! Both are in small pubs, so if he doesn't like the music, then I'm sure he'll like the tipple.

He is only with me for three nights, but I will make sure that his PJ's are spic & span.....
