Mmmmmm, Pulled Pork!
in its pre-pulled state, as well
Cory (aka Os) relaxes with a Corona while explaining how
he's going to throw out his back to get a week off from work.

a carnivore soirée)
The Jam
Part 1: The Gear
Cory's rig. Hey, isn't that cabinet a little small for
that thing?
George's Corner (except for Surfdude's white Strat leaning
against the AX2). Surprisingly enough, nobody fired up the BF Deluxe all
day!
Rev. Joe, John Ou and GVW chewing the fat and the pizza
while posing provocatively in front of John's Dual Recto setup (with his
Anderson Cobra jutting from the side of his head) and Joe's VHT Pitbull
with 2x12 cab. I think I was making some sort of point, but John and Joe
both look doubtful.
Interestingly enough, much of the cool gear seems to have
been camera shy. No pics of the Guytron, Top Hat, or HiWatt have yet surfaced.
Not to mention BigDave's Peavey Classic setup, Paul's Twin Reissue, and
just about everyone else's rig.
Part 2: The People
L-R: Allen Collins, Bill Lockton (Surfdude), Dave (aka
Bigdave and whose last name, I apologize, I don't remember), and Jim Chessnut
(aka JimiC)
L-R: GVW, Surfdude, and BigDave
Dave, Jim, and Mike Mirkovich (aka MikeMirk) in a Strata-vaganza
Vince Motel, Dave, and Mike Elliott (aka Fretwired) soaking
up the ambience
Surfdude and Drew Woerner arguing about who's thirstier
My buddy Jim Mitchell with his new Tobias 5 string and
PJ Labinski (hey, there's Vince's HiWatt hiding in the background!)
John Martin showing the strain of too much shredding following
too much BBQ.
Brian (I think. I wasn't taking notes and met a whole bunch
of people) and John. Ibanez and Schecter seemed to be the choice in the
Shred Room.
Blaine Laumbach and Brian. Blaine is busy proving that
old guys can still rock.
Cory's friend Mike (if memory serves, see above disclaimer)
and the electronic kit of the sole drummer brave enough to show up.
Reverend Joe preaching the Gospel while John Ou looks on.
Well, that's it folks. There's still some film to be developed,
and I'm dying to see the video that Surfdude shot. If you've got shots,
either scan 'em and email 'em, or send me prints and I'll scan 'em.
