Probably the last thing the world needs is more TS and Rangemaster clones, but this guy was so nice – he spotted my badge and was just beside himself, saying how much he loved the book and the column I do with Mike for Premier Guitar. He shared a booth with this guy…

Brown Note – this guy was real nice too. He went out of his way to come up and talk to me after it had been super busy at his booth. I guess it’s pretty easy to win me over, just be nice…

More amp guts, I love it!

Here I am standing next to a giant Keeley Compressor. Mike’s gonna love this one – Hi Mike!

The Diamond pedal guys were very nice too. Michael Knappe even bought a book right there on the spot – he said he’s been meaning to pick one up for a while.

Here I am with Brian Marshall of Subdecay Studios. He had the best quote yet: “Tom Hughes? I thought you were like 7 feet tall. Your book is so huge.” (I’m actually 5’8”, hope no one else is disappointed).

I had a nice long conversation with Brian, and he gave me an idea, which if anything ever come of it, I will be greatly indebted to him for.
