Brad:
 
Want to meet down at the milkbar?  Me, Alex, and a few droogs thought we'd stop by after a bit of the old ultra violence with Billy Boy and his yarbles (if he has any yarbles).  Unless, of course, we decide to go HOME.  I thought we could jam, perhaps play Singin' in the Rain? Do I get the extra points?
 
Bill, tgo

Bill,
 
You get extra points.
 
I'm going to see if I can see the aforementioned bird week after next-- I'm headed to the mothership!

Enjoy your visit, is it your first?  Also, what's a Rory Tribute ?  (from your profile)

This will be my second visit.  I'm bringing a digital camera, so I'm excited about getting to take some photos.
 
The Rory tribute is just how I started referring to my in-progress 6-string (bass) balance-K, since I basically copied Rory's bass (you can compare his and mine in the factory to customer section).
 
I guess it's a bit of a post-modern copy, since I did change a couple of things (bookmatch to center top, carved omega crown headstock, ebony laminates, altered tailpiece, SII electronics, and inlay (okay, that's more than a couple of things))
 
For those who are attempting to get senior management approval (a.k.a. The Colonel in my house ) for a trip to Alembic, just remember that Alembic is smack dab in the middle of the wine country, and there is a lot of great scenery and shopping (boutique clothing/furniture/etc.), as well as the wineries (of course), and some great spas and bed and breakfasts.

Now I get it.  Rory brought his basses to my studio when he lent me a DS-5.  Very beautiful instruments.  Well chosen inspiration.

Wine growing seems to go well with building basses:
