3rd Annual International Talkbass GTG - the photo thread

cosmicevan · #1 08-16-2010, 07:50 PM

I've got so many pictures I figured why not start a new thread? Could be more fun than wading through a ton of pages from the original thread just to see the pictures.

As always, John (Crusader)...it was another amazing year. To the regular crew...AMAZING to see y'all again!!! To the rookies...AMAZING to meet you!!! Looking forward to doing this again every year and getting together more frequently in between these.

And now onto the pix.
