What's worse is he was the only one going commando underneath the grass skirt |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | Just the sensation of travelling a goodly distance to meet people with whom you 'think' you are familiar but still have never met......it's quite weird.
The first time.
Linda and I drove to Portland Oregon from Campbell River B.C. (Canada, for those abroad) a long enough trek that we did it in two days so as to show up before dusk.
Backed into a driveway of a weird street (which I now understand is Quite normal in Portland) and lead my wife into a strangers back yard. Where we almost immediately felt at home.
Though I never met another OFCer who could actually 'drink' until AJ showed up at Miles & Lisa's place. (But that's another story) |

You'll be glad to hear that your "screen test" at Miles was repeated at Damon's over the Summer (last).
Not with the same level of articulated preparation and technological pride, but repeated all the same. |

Location: Flahdaw | Soooo.............back to the weird gathering stories.
I had joined the Takamine Forum before I joined the Ovation Forum, where I had developed a rapport with Gator (remember him, guys?) So Gator was gonna host a gathering at his house and invited me. One of the guys on the gathering thread at the time was this guy named Beal, who was gonna show up with about 20 high end guitars. I remember sending Gator a private message asking him, "Jeez, who is the dude with all the pricey guitars coming to your place? He's gonna need a U-Haul and an armed escort just to transport all of 'em." I was summarily educated.....
I ended up missing that gathering, but showed up at Gator's next one, met the infamous Beal character, as well as a few other unsavory gents, and played some utterly fantastic guitars.

I shouted a few expletive phrases, ripped the damed thing off the track, and flung it from the deck. Things had been building up between me and that door.

Yup. Somehow, at the time, it seemed like the right thing to do...... |

(This is one of those questions I'm not sure I should ask, but…)
What ever happened to Gator?

Location: 6 String Ranch | The best was getting to know and become one of The Usual Suspects. Great friends forever and have helped me tons when it was needed. All the Amelia gatherings were good but I kinda liked when the Suspects played at the country store. That was a good night.
As far as out there moments it had to be the Huddle House Escape or the AJ face plant. |
