Well, were back, sorta recooperated, I took today off from work to recharge my batteries after what amounted to a 9 hour drive back.

We had a great time at Bobs, meeting all the guys and there gals was awesome! By now you all know who was there and what guitars were floating around, but I have to say, there were some terrific guitars to behold! Tony's Fan fretted Brazilian rosewood guitar was over the top!

My birthday happen to be the day before our gathering and I received a few cool gifts that I have to mention and say thanks for! AnthonyZ handed me a package that was CD in shape Inside was Passion Sessions by Don Ross! One of my Favs! We listened to it all the way home, Thanks a bunch Anthony! Also Lacey handed Theresa and I an awesome crystal vase that Lacey had inscribed my K logo into, Thanks Lacey and Hesh!
The Tee Shirts were hysterical, and Heshs gift to Serge was a spontaneous piece of kindness that will forever define the first OLF Gathering, at least in my mind!

Anyways below are the pics that we managed to get inbetween having WAY to much fun!



Tony playing the Burst!


Total Guitar geeks!


Our host Bob the zootman and me




Theresa and I having Dinner at the Copacabana in Niagara the next night. This place was awesome!





Here are a couple of views out our hotel room window.

nice stuff Lance .. a good time had by all. Till we meet again.

hey you south of the border folks ever get a complex about the size of the American Falls ???? Just asking ...

Also interesting is the American falls are NORTH of the canadian ones ... yeah, lets head SOUTH to the Canadian falls, its probably warmer DOWN there ...

Thanks for the great pics Lance, meeting you and Theresa was a great moment for me, i loved your guitar, lots of volume and very neat, very beautiful in all aspects, that rosette was stunning also. I enjoyed the time we had even if short, maybe next time we'll have a chance to talk more!

Thanks Big Kahuna!

Serge

Thanks, Lance. Sounds like everyone had a perfect time.

I watched over things on the forum while you were gone.

Hope you and Theresa enjoyed your mini vacation. It was great seeing you again and I am very happy to have met Theresa. Great shots. I'll put them on my web too.
