TO & Hunter hook up in NYC (pics)

[hunter]

Hey folks,

Just wanted to report that I am back @ home after a week of NYC, what a crazy place ... nice too, but also crazy in places and definitely expen$ive!!

Ben was real nice, we met in a pub and had some Guiness with bassist Erik, who is a very nice chap as well, it was a short, but real nice evening (I was peeing my pants to use the subway after 11, but also jet lag made me tired early).

Next day I dropped into Ben's work with my Missus and we got a free "Shine on you crazy diamond" on a 500K$ hifi system, guess the insanity of just these dimensions are what perfectly fits into NYC, there are just no limits for nothing.

Ben, it's great to have you, you are among the nicest people on the planet. I am also still trying to figure out how you combine work, 3 band projects, karate, a family with 2 kids and an obsession for PS3/gaming within the limits of 24h/day, man you must have energy!!!!!

Does that $500K hi-fi system have crazily huge speakers, or are you both really pale-skinned Smurfs?  :P

[Davey]

it's kung fu with 19 workouts a week and he's got 3 kids ;)

some say, he's eliminated the need for sleep. others say he's part robot, part midget... all we know is, he's an insane guitar player from brooklyn.
and to live in new york, you gotta be  :)

and yes, even though ben is quite a short chap, those speakers are friggin HUGE. they're the speakers darth vader has at his place

I went to see Top Gear Live yesterday at the NEC, it was awesome :D I have some pics (pretty cr@p as my cameras zoom is awful) and a couple of funny-ish videos if anyones interested. If anyone who reads this is planning on going and doesnt want anything spoiled, all I will say is lots of skidding, wheelspins, donuts, explosions and stupid driving. Oh, and The Stig :)

[gwEm]

good work with the drinkup.

did you buy any new toys?

[Johnny Mac]

Sounds like a fun weekend. Did you go to any guitar shops with Ben?

[broken cord]

Ben looks like he's dropped a few pounds/kilos. Did you guy's grt to jam a few songs?
