Who says the giant robot needs sleep? He'll be partying with the rest of us crazy blokes till late into the morning. I'm sure there will be some late parties in Al & Gene's room with sufficient volume to drive out any attempts at late night listening. Heck I'm scheduled to "sleep" in their suite as well, but good luck on that.

so this may seem stupid but i think i missed the story behind voltron being called the giant robot and now i kinda want to know. anyone care to elaborate?

i remember reading something about someone having a slight resemblance to a shaved cat but nothing about voltrons robotic nature.

thank you grawk

i was hoping for there to be a story involving an odd halloween costume and copious amounts of hard liquor but i guess a japanese anime will have to do. not as glamorous as id hoped, but i guess it is alright. good part is if he doesnt go to sleep we can just unplug him

NightWoundsTime resembles a shaved cat. Voltron is a large drunken robot. They're the only ones you need to watch out for. The rest of us are all perfectly normal.

There's a local head-fier who brought a tube tester to the last Ft. Lauderdale meet. I don't know if he's coming, but Mike may know since they're neighbors.

Looks like my 2900 won't be ready, so I'll be coming down with just the duet as a source.

Don't forget cables Dan, I didn't ship any down with your amp since it didn't have any when it arrived at my house.
