Skype...miraculous. Met Timbo in person, he came to Central Fest via the electron...or is that via the byte?
Poor guy had to look at my face, John Ellison's and our host's, Brian "king of sausages and fish tacos" Walsh, plus a great new friend, another Brian, who is the rep for some neato cabling made from liquid metal! Good guy who saved Brian's life by helping cook and even took head bottle washing detail.
A fine time was had by all...and meeting Timbo face to face was super neato especial!
I just want to know how does one order Japanese CDs? Brian played a CD his rep (Brian) had brought, an Ike Quebec recording on Blue Note. Superb Jazz and superb sound. I wannit!
There is no such thing as too many records.
There is just too little room for them!

Did John give you one of his test tone/"hearing test" CDs?

I wish we'd seen you at Central Fest. Your seat was very empty as was Gayle's and Bruce's. We'd set one out for Dianne if she came but weren't really expecting her. It would have been great to see her too and hoping...
The sound of Brian's gear was shocking...and he played CDs. Proof again that CDs are merely another portraiture; when digital's done right it doesn't matter. Brian's rep, Brian had a disc that was outstanding both in sound and music, an Ike Quebec Blue Note (King). I've already purchased a copy...that's how good it is, fabulous Jazz; I didn't wait to get home to order it.
Chicago's another town for "foodies." I must have seen at least 4 or five restaurants I'd like to go to while en route to the restaurants we DID eat at. The restaurants where we ate were superb, but the most fun was where we had breakfast every morning...even yesterday morning.
Barrington seems like you should smell the ocean air. It has the look and feel of a sea-side town. Weirdly enough, Centerville, OH has the same look. We're going to go explore Dayton a bit as I took the opportunity to catch up on my "closed-eyes" moments. I'm finally feeling rested after a difficult week. Lots of fun but alas, lots of sorrow.
Barb wanted to get ahold of a cousin who lives near Barrington but they didn't connect as Terri was involved in an accident when a biker and his rider ran into her car; they both were killed, no helmets. Obviously not her fault but she was issued a citation for failure to yield but it wasn't judged vehicular homicide. After Danny's death, nothing we (of course) wanted to hear.
THEN we got a call from my sister telling us our best friend's mother had died when she had a second heart attack while in the hospital to get a by-pass! Ruth and Bill are our oldest friends, we both held each others children before anyone else when they were born. Ruth's Mom was a Japanese war bride who ran a bar/restaurant that's almost historic in the village of South Mountain, PA. An unbelievable cook...she and her food will be missed.
We're awaiting news concerning her arrangements as we'd like to get back to C-burg to be with Bill and Ruthie but want to spend time with numbah wan son, Ryan.
Hopefully we'll get to do SOMETHING while we're here other than type messages to friends and sleep. I haven't even showered yet.

Looking at the Soundlab stats, and the big Atmaspheres.
It was strange and fun.
On top of all that it was raining here, we got another 15mm's at least. It rained almost all day.

As for the CDs...
He did a ton of work in the kitchen, and everything turned out great.
Re: "king of sausages and fish tacos"
Don't forget the frozen custard, not to mention the meal at Calypso :-)
Next year we'll have to do Vietnamese or Mediterranean or something.
You owe us a report on the vinyl you picked up.
I've gotta say this was the "funnest" weekend I can remember having in a long time. I mean, how often do you see an MG-VII Imp. QR signed by J. Winey? That had to be a Godfather thing.
I owe Valveboy a sincere apology. We never got around to cooking the wonderful bratwurst he brought and obviously went to a lot of trouble to get and prepare, at least in part because others were doing the cooking and because by the time we got around to the brats everyone was pretty full. I feel bad about that. Dave, I'm genuinely sorry and didn't intend for that to happen.
