Hey Graydon - May Seminar

[Strat]

Had some switches arrrive from your neck of the woods today which were mailed on the 29th May (don't know the why's or wherefore's there) but it reminded me that you had an amp building seminar on the 26th. How did it go? and any pics or clips? (You know we like that kind of stuff )

[Graydon]

Wow, that sure took a while. Glad they arrived though.

Thanks for asking about the seminar. It went really well. I plan to do another soon but I haven't nailed down a date.

I guess I'll move this thread to the new Events room.

How many people ended up attending? Sounds like a cool little event......

I had five paying students. My two middle sons also attended but they had their Daddy pay their way. We also had a father-son duo who used the event for some father-son bonding time.

We had a great time. We had a huge pan of lasagna from what I consider to be the best local Italian restaurant. My wife & I often go there to share a plate of their lasagna. It was just as good at the seminar. I also took my espresso machine along and we had cappucinos and donuts at breaktime.

There is a gallery of photos here...

I haven't finished editing this page, so if you want to see any of the full size photos, you need to edit the links by removing the "m" at the end of the name and change the .jpg to .JPG like this...

That was Kurt from Florida who flew up for the event. Kurt was a real southern gentleman.
