What a day, I was on my feet for 7 hours, but it was worth it. I took a ton of pictures for you, but it'll be tomorrow before I can put them up. Right now, I just want to say I went on a mission to meet as many of the builders of my basses that I could. So I got to chat with:
Roger Sadowsky
Mike Tobias
Mike Pedulla
Jerzy Drozd
George Furlanetto (my bass came in today)
and my main man Gard Lewis standing in for Keith Roscoe.
I even chatted with Vinnie Fodera, even though I don't own one of his basses (yet).
I got to talk to David "Eden" Nordschow, and he showed me some cool new prototypes that I'll post later. Dan Lakin was on the golf course so I missed him, but I met him last time.
Anyway, I just want to say that the character of all of the guys I met today matches the quality of their instruments. It was a deep and genuine pleasure to meet each one, and they all took the time to yak. What could be better?

[Edit: I'm sure Matt Garrison can play it just fine...never mind.]

Then you had Stu Hamm at the Peavey display. 
Here's Tony Levin with a Talkbass Total Hyper-Elite Member. 
And how could we forget Mr. Ed Roman, enjoying a hamburger?
