Yes - missed you Wolf! I got there around 5:30, thought I would catch the last half-hour or so - ended up hanging out until almost 9!

At one point this happened:




Looking forward to more pics!

Looks like you had a nice day... Good to see an Orion and Alembicized Starfire in the mix!

THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!!  Looks like everybody had a great time.  Can't wait to see more pics.
I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

Here's a few more:

Four Alembics from Alembic!


Our gracious hosts, Will & Mica:


Edwin and his awesome Starfire:


Me playing Nate's Series II strung with flats while the pit crew (Dave, Edwin & Nate) troubleshoots Dave's amp - Dave was gracious enough to bring his full rig, otherwise there might not have been bass amplification!

Had a nice time yesterday. Was good to see everyone again to celebrate all things Alembic and Mica's birthday, too. As always some very sweet instruments to check out. Wish I had had time to hang out longer and enjoy more of the festivities.

Thanks for posting the pics Harry!

A wonderful time was had by all, and many were missed but with us in spirit.

I'm sorry that I missed this on Saturday. Looks like it was a blast for all that attended.
I can't help but think that that corner of the stage has some bad bass juju or something...that's where my rig was setup last time when it failed.

Nate & Edwin get down to business, accompanied by Nate's awesome, fantastic sounding, thunderous and gorgeous basses...
