Yes, Steve has that effect on people. Warning: it gets worse. Everyone will ask where you got the kilt. I started out with a small handful of his business cards--I think I still have two.

Welcome from deepest darkest Cedar Cottage [southeast of the giant EAST VAN sign/sculpture], Vancouver.

Thanx for the hearty welcome.

I see you guys are just like the ones on the guitar forums. "It doesnt exist till me see it" Unfortunately, Steve only had 2 that I liked (Its been a long tine since I was a 32 & I hope I ever fit the other one). Rest assured I will be bragging (in picture form) when it/they arrive.

Off to a week of burning meat & abusing other peoples children (Vancouver Island Scout Camp).

Hi, Craig, and welcome to XMTS from the bottom end of Africa.
Your visit to the Wizard will no doubt be long remembered. Hope you can hang on until you get your kilts, the two of you – the feeling you have while you wait is something we refer to as jonesing.
Regards,
Mike

A hundred thousand welcomes. I also have had the misfortune to visit that evil Mr. Ashton on occasion. DO NOT believe anything he tells you about me! Cheers aye.
