I wanted to try out the GH50 and the VH100. But every time i went there, there wasn't ANY reps about. So i had to look instead :lol:

got to play through a Framus dragon, didn't really impress me that much

you gotta be a bar-steward sometimes... i took the PGM301, pulled the first rep i saw and told him to bring me a cable =P

loved it, so i wanted to try it with a real mans pickup, so i went to jonathan (big thanks for letting me borrow it Mr. Law) took the gunslinger and went to try it again hehe

Hi Davey, you missed out on more real ale with JohnnyMac on Sunday night, and today I took Ben for Timmy Taylors and Sam Smith daughts and one more steak and ale pie before sending him back to New York.

I had great fun at the show and of course picked up a lot of pickups, but I am going to get the coolest thing later this week. I am going over to Matamp to get a RED MiniMat. Hope you all went to see them with Hayden working there.

I forgot to say I met Mr Pig, HJM and Pin from Sikth too, all top blokes!

Went for a few beers and some pub grub in Islington with Phil and Ben after the show to a pub called The Camdens Head. Met another forumite Jay Palmer too. Had a good time and talked guitars and music all night.

Ben had pints of Fullers London Pride, Adnams Broadside and ham, egg and chips!! He loved it!

Did any one look closely at Librium guitars? there was a few guitars from that company at the bareknuckle stand. They looked gorgeous. I've had a look on the site and there are some amazing guitars there.

FINALLY BACK IN NY!

When I get a minute, I'll write properly on the whole event, which I will just say right now was INCREDIBLE! Here are some of my pics from the actual show:

Johnny Mac · « **Reply #128 on:** May 09, 2006, 02:42:44 PM »

Hi Ben, I bet your tired! Do you have the dreaded jet lag?

Nice pics!

TwilightOdyssey · « **Reply #129 on:** May 09, 2006, 03:36:41 PM »

I feel the same as I did in London ... pretty well foggy-brained!

I'm back at the desk today, drinkin joe, and lamenting my departure from London!!

ps -- Johnny, I was able to sweet talk (coerce?) Phil into loaning me his double creme Holy Diver to pop into the M1 before he comes back to NY! I'll have a report on it soon.

Davey · « **Reply #130 on:** May 09, 2006, 03:52:07 PM »

haha, cool.

and phil, just think about what i said about the JB, you might get a whole set of bkp's if you sell it to the right idiot lol

Can you imagine Davey and Ben in the same band?

Davey is so much taller than Ben that you'd have to stand Ben on a box for photo shoots

Funny how Davys looks so much older than him ;)
