I spent last night packing so that I can relax tonight (right!). All that's left is hoping that I don't forget anything and that all the boxes arrived safely!

I am now officially giddy w/ excitement.

If Ed hadn't jumped the gun, I would have posted a picture of the banner tonight. I am picking it up later this afternoon.

CJ '08 Banner is freakin' awesome, Ed! Great work. Now let's just hope Mike doesn't destroy it between now and Saturday.

Badges are all printed, and look good, car is full of gear, and just waiting for the noon whistle to blow to start the trip accross the state. Like Nate, I am "giddy w/ excitement".

I'm now looking forward to CanJam in more ways than one! I can't believe it's snowing yet again here in Colorado, really need to get some of that Florida sun 'n fun!

And that is some sweet artwork there Ed, that'll look awesome on display!

Edit: a view of our snowy action right now:

Wow. Snow. Haven't seen that in awhile. Ironically, I am looking forward to Florida, because for some reason the pollen count is really really high this week in Los Angeles. Suffering major allergies, and the pollen count is lower in Ft Lauderdale this weekend. Go figure. LOL.

Really nice, Ed!

Yesterday and today, the tree pollen is "very high" in New York (damn deciduous forest). I am truly suffering. Looking forward to the tropics.

Screw CanJam, I'm going to work hard on my tan.

Any FLAer want to give me their phone #? I'd like to be able to call someone in case things get crazy once I arrive. Thanks.

I think it's time for bed now.

My advice to you:

- Use your own ears as everybody's hearing and preferences are different.
- Try to audition as much equipment as possible to find your sound.
- Buy used to save money.

I carried on three full-sized headphones, MANY cables of many varieties, two portable amps, an imod, E500s, a lappy, and other stuff, and didn't even get an extra glance. Don't even worry about it.

As for sources, you can tap into my lappy and there will be many CDPs to jack into. We will hook you up, no doubt.
