Thunderbird Club

it's done anyway...they should either move locations or something cause NV wants to build a wall around the event and search every vehicle entering the site....I went in the mid 90's and it was truly a phenomenal experience...Instagram Influencers broke it..

I didn't know about the wall :rollno: My friend Louise (costumer) is/was (initiator Larry Harvey passed away a couple years ago) close friends with all 3 of the founders and attended the first few years when it was on Baker Beach in SF in the late 80's. Friends who have gone (similar time period when you were there) echo your experience as being a unique phenomenon but like everything it's strayed far from its original ideal.
 
Or the deadest in general. We had a vicious storm hit quickly Sunday. A 20+ y/o kayaker out in the middle of a nearby lake didn't make it to shore. They appear to still be searching for her. There were straight line winds in excess of 80MPH, plus lots of lightning.

Yeah, I take the Thunderstorm warnings very seriously when I am thinking about going out on the lake. On the golf course too, but at least there you can hold up a 2 iron.
 
The other one was the air raid siren that would go off at the volunteer firehouse about two miles away when there was a tornado somewhere in the area. I grew up in an old farmhouse with third floor dormers. The house was on a hill, which meant that going up to the third floor to look for the tornado was what the siren meant we had to do. More proof that God looks after idiots - my brother and I never saw a tornado, let alone got hit by one.

So, when this showed up... I was... concerned.

No packing either, just a box in a box. A box with a damp wound in it.

But, luckily the bass seemed okay! Needs a setup tweak but overall I'm pretty happy with it. Even have a stand that works with it!

That sucker likes being played with a pick doesn't it? And it goes VERY nicely with the new Sansamp YYZ pedal, I might add.
