Did you miss the word "Vacation" in there? I'm not sure, but I don't think hanging out with a bunch of empeg owners would be his idea of a vacation.

On a side note, I'd recommend Roger visit the Napa Valley. There are a lot of interesting places to go, especially if you are a wine enthusiast. Funny enough that I work for a Wine Cellar Design company, and I have never, don't, and will not ever drink anything containing alcohol.

Also, a few places I'd recommend checking out for events, restaurants and the like:

Hope you have fun here!
