Mike and his family work so hard to bring this event to fruition.
Without them I would spend another day typing conversations with distant strangers here on Basschat. Instead I got to meet some of those people in real three dimensional life. I got to geek out about pedals with people who care about them like I do. I got to share stories, to sit and eat wonderful food with folk who felt like old friends within minutes of striking up a conversation. I got to try instruments I'd never seen or heard of, to show off a couple of mine and to compare the dimensions of two tiny amps with men who care as much as I do about such things.
This didn't happen by magic. It happened through hard work, an awful lot of time and dedication from @scrumpymike and his family.
You made my day, and I am truly grateful.
