Intentionally taking a pic of the "Herbology" billboard for any reason? The meeting up with Larry maybe? :roflmao:
You just can't avoid those ads these days. I find it quite obnoxious that local retail has been obliterated and every vacant storefront (and there are a lot of them) are being replaced with 'dispensaries'.*

* I don't care what people do/put in their bodies. But I hate the monoculture of retail that is developing. I also hate walking through clouds of smoke (intoxicating and otherwise)** everywhere.

** For those that are subjected to drug testing at work, casual exposure like that can result in a positive test due to the long half-life of metabolites, and test reliability and sensitivity. Although it may not result in immediate career implications (but for some it does), it can be incredibly inconvenient.

I just blame it on all the poppy seed muffins I get at Costco :wideyed:
 
I've brought up bringing them back to Mass many a time, my wife hates the winter, I'm not sure if her mother could handle the long flight(s) though, she broke her hip a couple of years ago and can't walk anymore. I think I'm stuck here for the time being anyway. Kentucky, ever meet either of the Everly Brothers? I ask that of everyone from Kentucky, been a big fan of theirs since I was a kid.
I'll introduce you to them if you move here. No problem.

OK, that's highly unlikely as you know, but if it helps, I'll try. But the possibility of playing through some of your rigs makes me exaggerate.:laugh:

Well, you have a better chance of playing any of them than I do, I'm about 5000 miles from most of them. :laugh:.
 
Can I suggest that we publish a list of what equipment we would be willing to bring to the July GTG so people can make requests to see them? That way, we reduce, maybe, how much we are packing? As an example, I am bringing my Sunn Concert Bass amp so @Chucky Stiletti can do his magic, but I also have a Sunn 215m cabinet that I could bring if anyone really wanted to hear that combo. Of course, if no one is interested, I will save my back trying to hoist that into my pickup.

I'm happy to host the list if that is something folks want.
