Paul checking for defects. The only one he found was me!

The 'full catastrophe' finally arrives at the Doubletree:

You just can't avoid him, can you?

Oh come all ye faithful.........

It's great to put faces to so many of the familiar names!
You're a very lucky chap, Howard, to be able to meet all those fine folks (& play their guitars)!

Great shots. Aitch!!!

You're giving me the travelling bug, mate...I'm looking at those and reliving things that I never experienced the first time around...weird, huh?

BTW, Juliana is over the moon with her new phone, which arrived on Wednesday.

Actually Aitch (I hate to dispel the myth Aitch!) bailed out to bed before most of us! Graham and Allison were the last to leave the patio. Jason, Jeff, you, and I were just before them.

Dang, I need a beer and a cig.... :^Q

Forshame, John! From now on, you will only smoke when there is a Rick-playing Aussie present!

Oh, thank you, Aitch, for posting those pics....they go perfectly with the song I just finished recording! So many good memories...from Santa Ana to our jammin' in the family room with Billy D! Image

And so many great pics of so many great forumites!

Aitch, you had a truly amazing once-in-a-lifetime trip, captured wonderfully in pictures!

Cheers to all! Image

Thanks for posting the pictures of your amazing journey.

By the way, I have a couple of tickets for Sunday's Mets/Cards game. You wanna go? I'm sure Cards fans would love to see their "good luck charm" again.
