Rob managed to surprise me by springing a special prize; for organising the event for a second time, I was given a special present of a Nike PSA player - something I have had my eye on for a long time - and I have to confess, I was extremely touched by the gesture (so was Merrigan - I suspect she'll be using it even more than I will!). Gestures like this really do bring home the message - as if it really needed any re-inforcement - that Sonic Blue, Empeg Ltd., and the people who work there are really special. They deserve your enthusiasm, your support, your patience (and your money too, don't forget ).

No gift for me for organizing the Woodside meet, but he got TWO?

I want a re-vote! ;-)
