Yeah, one of them with a goatee looked a lot like a younger Linford.  I
suppose it was his brother, or something.  The similarities were striking.

Sam?  I think you meant Amy(Raven)...?  Or maybe there was a Sam there that
I didn't know/meet... if so, sorry... :)

Anyway, yeah, it was nice to meet you.  Too bad we didn't even know we were
sitting near each other 'til it was almost too late to talk.

It was a truly great time once we found out that Jay&Lynz made it.  :)  We
didn't think you'd show up after no sighting pre-Dennie or pre-OtR.  Good
thing you did, or Linford would have made that announcement for nothing...
:)  It was nice to see you two again, and many congratulations your way.
Have fun remodeling!! :)

That was his plan... muuhaahaahaa... ahem.  Sorry...

We got a good laugh out of it, too.  It must hurt to fly all the way to
England on electric guitars... ouch!!

My highlights of the evening:
-Meeting up with Amy and having flaming cheese ('opa!), yay!
-Meeting new (and quite cool) people outside/inside the Ark.
-Opener Jason Dennie, cool guy.  Hopefully he'll come around here 
   soon... and by *here*, I mean Dayton/Cincy.
-Got to meet/talk with Ashley Peacock.  He's a cool guy.  He's 
   supposed to be playing at Kaldi's sometime in Jan/Feb... should 
   be fun.  I wish I wouldn't have missed his set at Blue Jordan.
-Meeting burrill.  I should have recognized your Monk shirt sooner, 
   dude.  Sorry... :)
-Meeting and somewhat catching up with Jay&Lynzi...
-Were any other listies there?

Oh, yeah, Over the Rhine was good, too... :)
Again.

Raiding windmills,
Dan
