This was the first time that I was able to make it up to the Gathering! Great fun and great times meeting lots of these long time club members in person.
I managed to literally wear out my DSLR a couple of months ago and haven't bought a new one yet, so I was limited to iPhone shots, so I'll let those with better cameras post.
This confab was in a new location (a 4-point shot away from the Oracle Coliseum in Oakland, go Warriors!). In the directions sheet, Mica mentioned that she would post some signage. The first shot on the thread is the real signage (well camouflauged behind a forklift, but that's another story). When you pulled up to the specified address, there was this sign, which is probably apt, if you're willing to turn the irony up to 11:
Lots of interest about the Flying V bass. The pictures do it no justice - the top is the most beautiful piece of purpleheart I've ever seen, with grain running parallel to the wings. It's short scale and really intense sounding. There was a lot of thought about the size and placement of everything. Quite amazing!
