I hope the 3A is a good birthday present and you can enjoy it tonight in good health. Have a great one Tom! Cheers!

Glad the Wanderer was well received. I have a bottle of the Magic Ghost so now i'm curious.

Rest in blues, Hubert. You were amazing.

Gosh, I never thought you would be in the trade, but you're clearly a member.

Another pop for Pops. A Manhattan cocktail in honor of the man from Manhattan College. Cheers!

Yes, Ken Ball is ALO, but he was doing some stuff with RWA in the past. Vinny Rossi of RWA is really good people and great fun at meets and audio shows. Other than my iMod, which I have used for years quite happily, I have never been too impressed with his stuff. I don't begrudge him, however, because it sounds decent and is accessible to non-audiophile types and he has done pretty well.

A martini with St. George's dry rye and Dolin dry and jalapeno olives to toast Vincent R. FitzPatrick, Jr. on his retirement after a very impressive legal career. I guess that makes Dinny a three sticker. Cheers! [ I wish these gins were better than there are :/ ]

Thanks for the link, Ric. This was sad news and I was jealous that JP just saw him recently. RIP PM

Is the camera made by Sennheiser? Did you try removing the foams? [/headphone geek humor]

That sounds great Dinny. Must be cool to see your dad get some praise and recognition for being a baller all these years. Congrat to Monkey, Sr.!

No kidding. Sip lightly and perhaps dash a little cool branch water in there.

And now, Embarcadero Cocktail 2oz gin .5oz creme de violette 1oz white grapefruit juice Orange peel garnish Shake and double strain. Maybe too much violet but tasty like a less astringent Aviation

Need moar bass?

And wine and beer and booze.

In honor of my holiday gift exchange buddy I am having a Dougroni with aquavit. Very satisfying to my underfed and sleep deprived self. Cheers Doug!

Rules? Discuss it with Scott and figure out what the parameters are. 1 CD? 2 LPs? 3 books? The only rule in my mind is avoiding lopsided gifts unless agreed upon up front.

Duggeh and I are destined to gift each other! What's the theme going to be this year, old sod?

Wow, you waited 3 whole minutes before your first post! Good job taking your Welcome PM to heart. And what the hell do you know about the PS500?

Indeed, but your higher proof run ain't nothin' to sneeze at, neither!

Fuckin' A! I may not be home until tomorrow, so drink some for me too.

Like, twice!

Yuck

Keep resting in peace, George. Not to hijack George's moment, but today would have been Jaco Pastorius's 60th birthday. That seems weird because he is kind of locked in my mind as a young man. HBD and RIP Jaco.
