Official Luthiers Forum!

Let's start with a view from the camerman, whom shall remain anonymous:



To the far right is our own Anthony Z, 2nd from the left is Matt, back to us is Kent Armstrong. (The camera is in perfect focus, it's the driver...) Most everyone looked this way by 2:30 A.M.

Next we have Rich Mermer showing Evan the proper method for a neck reset




Natalie, Harry, unknown, and to the lower far right, the culprit of the evening!






Some more friendly faces- a little help?!




Tim from Martin,(I told him I would get this shot!), and Chris from Pearlworks.



And to "wrap" things up, Dick Boak starring in "Human Binding, the Martin Method".



You see, there weren't really any guitars at this years symposium! Note there are none in the photos!

Evan, Anthony,Matt, etc..
(If everyone finds out the truth, they'll all want to go!!!!)

Great shots Paul, I think Mermer is pulling the "Melvin"!
The photo with no names is Elliot from Dan Erlewine's shop and Stewmac, and seated is Tom from Oklahoma. Next to him barely is Chris from LMI.
Great meeting you bro and keep in touch. Got a nice e-mail from Jaime @ Pearlworks yesterday.
Best, Evan

The infamous Melvin Vs. Wedgie debate, I think melvins won. Seriously, Paul it was great to meet you and the rest of the guys. I think we all had a blast.

Wait, Wait... It was horrible no one go to the next ASIA symposium

Evan, you got an email from Jaime, I'm jealous.

Quick Story.. I went to the gym while I was there and the attendant asked me what the ASIA symposium was. So, I told him. He was told by someone at the school that it was a symposium about Asia, the continent.

Take care

Paul, from the first shot I see that your camera saw what you saw

It was great meeting you.

Paul's right -- ASIA sucked. (Matt, Paul, Evan...we'll see you at ASIA 2009 )

I'm the guy to the left of Kent Armstrong in the first picture. No one told me not to tell about the great time we had.

Guys, it's starting to look like ASIA should start including brewing tips in Guitarmaker! Where's the guitars?!

Yep, there were more beers than guitars. I was kind of hoping to see something other than OOO and OM's. Maybe something like a harp guitar or something Fred Carlson would build. Don't get me wrong every thing I saw was very nice.
