Just wanted to say thanks to Grumpy, Ernie and all those involved with putting on such a great show, it was a ton of work for sure. Also, thanks to everyone who visited my room, those that brought their special CD's - it was a pleasure to play them for you. I didn't get a chance to visit many rooms as I was manning my room both days by myself, the number of repeat visitors made me feel great, I loved all the positive feedback and visits from other vendors, everyone was very polite, thanks again, Dave. :D

Some pics I uploaded tonight, maybe next year I'll get a better camera in time for the next show? :scratch2:

Thank you dgwojo... I was starting to get tired of seeing old orney looking guys.

:D

Yes, I too was waiting for SOMEBODY to get a shot of the "ticket girls" posted... got tired of describing them, now I can just say: see......

And the Atrium shot is Sunday afternoon at the final raffle. I see myself under that strange (palm??) tree.

I'm STILL looking for that Mannheim Steamroller Christmas album you played for me. (no pen/pencil - I trusted my dazed and confused memory, so , please, the details again??)

I was quite impressed with your setup.

P.s. what about the cookies? :D

er, pictures.

Thanks!

The Christmas music was the red Christmas Extraordinaire shown on their web page; mannheimsteamroller.com (http://shop.mannheimsteamroller.com/category/1806133681/1/Music.htm) We actually played the DVD Audio version which doesn't seem to be available on their site anymore. Barnes and Noble still carries it if you have a player for that format; B & N (http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?r=1&EAN=12805922579&ourl=Christmas-Extraordinaire%2FMannheim-Steamroller)

Although many people mock that selection of music, it has to be one of the fullest range recordings ever. :D

The cookies were a hit, a good friend of mine donated them to the fest, I had more in the SMAC room, glad you enjoyed them, Dave. :thmbsp:

Room sounded great Dave... Sorry I couldn't spend more time....

It was great to see you again Dave, and I thought that THIS Fest was even better than last year's (and last year's was pretty great too!).

I had a blast.

Dave thanks for all you did this year as well. Your room and system as usual were fantastic. Believe it or not, I looked forward all year to paying a visit. I had a great musical discussion as well. Next year I'll be glad to give you a spell so you can get out if you like.

Thanks Dave for your hospitality and inspiration. The system sounds great. Maybe I will let you use my hot rodded Conrad Johnson PV6 next year.. O BTW, I will be glad to sub in for you as well.....

And thanks for letting my play with my amp and your speakers! Had a ball.:thmbsp:

Allways good to see you Dave, and your system was pretty sweet this year..

And the pic's of the girls is definatly appreciated, I can get my fix all SUMMER!

Hey Dave my friends and I though that you rsystem sounded great, Thanks for the time,i was amazed at the sound those altecs put out. great job on the X-over and preamp combo. Loved the mini amp also. Rock on and good luck.
