Location: Sunshine State, Australia | We advertised it well in advance, got a few bites, but only 2 showed up.
But still, it was an international affair - a Brit and an Aussie, there were American Ovations and Adamaii played, I wore a Canadian fleece and played some Japanese harmonicas.
Cholesterol, caffeine and alcohol was consumed. 'twas good.
Looook at my fiiiiinger. You are getting sleeeeepy.
Now he's under my spell, I can nick off with these lovely Adamaii.
Where do you think you're going with THAT, ya thievin' colonial b@rst@rd?
I wish I remember what I'd said to get this reaction.

2 bearded middle aged men obsessed by plastic guitars that met on the internet. Sounds weird, eh? |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | I've reposted this thread here as the replies keep getting deleted in the 'official' section - as per the rules of that forum.
Rulz iz rulz. No pics, no posts.
So y'all can post your comments on this unofficial one and in a few days, it will sink out of sight. A dim memory for muzza and a vivid nightmare for schoeder. |

Location: Germany | Wow, these rank among the best guitars New Hartford ever made. Seems you had a lot of fun. As there is no factory tour in spring I have a free time slot in May. Schroeder, feel free to invite us European OFCers to a 2008 Kent Gathering :D

Who owns the UTE's?? All the guitars played on the day (7, I think, including 2 O's and 2 A's) belonged to Schroeder. All the harmonicas belonged to me.

| And there are picks available for all the guitars in case any ham-fisted, tone-deaf players from Virginia happen by. |
