Hell, it seems like Bill spends more time at the factory than Mica does.  And she's there every day!

Nic:
 
What can I say?  My clients keep getting busted in Sonoma County and I can't bring myself to drive by the Hearn exit without stopping in to visit my in vitro Further.  Plus the folks at Alembic really make one feel at home.
 
Bill, tgo

Flax, yes, the seated guy in the purple shirt looks like Bill Nershi, guitarist with String Cheese Incident.

Some of us can only dream about a visit like that.
 
My next trip to the states will involve Philadelphia, PA, Columbus, OH, Dallas, TX, and Denver, CO.  I would really like to try to squeeze in a trip to CA as well.  
 
Thanks for the Pica!

SCI will be here in Vegas over the Halloween weekend at the Vegoose music festival. There's a pretty good lineup including Phil Lesh and friends, The Meters and many others on four stages and local venues over two days and four nights. Check out the  Vegoose site (http://vegoose.com target=_blank) for details. I've got tix for the two days of the festival - hope I can still make it through two full days and nights of concerts along side the youngsters. =)

The other guy is Scott Law.  Scott is getting almost the opposite of my custom Further (his has the cocobolo on the front).  You can see it in the Factory to Customer section under Scott's Custom Further  From the little I've heard, he is one helluva player.  He recently won the scholarship contest to play the original Wolf with P&F in Colorado during the sound check.
 
Bill, tgo
