In the last few years, at Ribfest, collectible LPs have gone on wlakabouts. I shrugged my shoulders and figured that if he or she needed them that badly as to steal from a friend who'd welcomed them into his home, then it was part of the cost of having a great party. This year, and we continue looking around in the hopes I'm wrong, a piece of our flatwear, a ladle, disappeared at Ribfest 2012. An ice cream scoop also disappeared. I'd imagine some more LPs have done so, too. But the audacity, and as I say we continue looking, hoping I'm wrong, of liberating 2 rather expensive cartridges, a Dynavector 20xl and an Audio Note IQ2 have "walked off." Because of this, 2012 will be the last Ribfest. If the person or persons who took things from this house return them, no questions will be asked and I will continue having what has become an awesome get-together. If the person who took these things is reading this doesn't give a rat's ass for all of the others who have come and contributed to a great party, then I hope they enjoy the fruits...I can't imagine that sooner or later those fruits will begin to taste rotten. Again, if the cartridges and other things are returned...send them to your friends in another state, send them to your folks so that you remain anonymous. If you simply return them I will forget what you've done. I have to get an operation in early October. My heart and kidneys are badly damaged and none of my doctors are too happy that I have to take the chance I will by getting this operation, but a hernia can't be ignored. I hope that I end up blaming this on the meds I take, embarrassing but far better than to think a friend would do this to me and to all of the other people who come to Ribfest. My heart works at 30%, my kidneys a bit above 20%, you can imagine why my doctors are worried...as am I, as is my family, as are my friends. I've hinted at how ill I am but I believe this is the first time I allowed myself to reveal the realities to you folks. The people I've spent time with at AA and Ribfest have come to mean a lot not only to me, but my wife, too. I hope we'll continue having Ribfests. It's rather maudlin, but I would hope the person(s) who took these things reflect upon those facts. Best scenario would be for me to find these things in a box somewhere and if that happens I will be appalled that I made these accusations. But I've looked for weeks and have not found them, so I feel pretty sure that I waited long enough to reveal this to the other people who came to Ribfest. ****************************** Music.

Until now I believed that the folks who inhabited AA (and in particular the ones who went to Ribfest)were a cut above the average bear. I'm completely disillusioned by this turn of events and hope that Karma will catch up to the malandrin who perpetrated such badness. For our sake, I hope you find the carts so I can stop feeling like the little boy who found out there's no Santa Claus. As for your planned surgery, someone better warn the nurses cause as soon as the surgeon's done, your putz will be good as new!  Bill's Audio Cave
