Question on fellow TB'er

Hi guys, anybody knows of the whereabouts of "Dark Horse", real name Andy, from Austin, TX?

A while back he built a very cool axe called "El Jefe". Here's his build thread:

Trampling on some "Sacred Cows"... (Scroll Bass, Tele Bass)

I commissioned a similar build from him, and haven't heard from since last August. Please keep it "gentlemanly". He seems like a decent guy, certainly very talented builder. I'd just like to contact him, that's all. Thanks!

Jose

Anybody? I had pretty good communication with Andy up until August. He was supposed to leave on tour back then and was gonna be out for a while. I'm kinda concerned about his well-being and all. Any help, info, or comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!


Jose

I may be wrong, but didn't he go out on tour? Seems I remember him posting a fare thee well. But that was a long time ago. Yeah, I was a huge fan of the crazy builds he posted here.

I hope the cows didn't catch up with him. They hold grudges.

Hope you didn't send him any money, because it looks like he disappeared.

You guys are killing me with them jokes! I got ahold of him through Facebook, of all places! Seems he's been rather busy on tour. He says he'll be back in TX later this month and will honor our previous agreement. He really seems like a standup guy.
"Standup", get it?

If he is is still breathing I'm sure you will find him at SXSW this week.
