RunningDownTheR Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Yes, i've done a lot of research and think I've settled on a few guitars I want so the wife and I are doing our coffee and she - her makeup. Will hit the road shortly for the trip. Have hotel room for night. So it will be a mini-vacation, eat out tonight. Plan to spend the afternoon making the right decision. Will update with pictures / videos if anything happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 . Impressive effort. I have to admit I probably wouldn't make a trip like that, but choosing in person is the best way to go. Best of luck. Looking forward to reading your return post. . B) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62burst Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Ah yes, the carb loading before the marathon - good strategy. Ha. Good one. I'da figured RDtR for one of those 'food picture' guys. But I do enjoy the travelogue. Just remember: you don't have to come back with guitar on your first foray. Lets just hope the moon & the stars all line up & 'the one' happens to be there while you're looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aster1 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 And I thought you were in Birmingham ... UK Sounds weird to have a Birmingham in the US, just too English sounding .. Well, where did ya think we came from EA, duhh? [biggrin] It is rather "continental sounding" for Alabama, but "In Birmingham we love the Governor, oh hoo hoo" Leonard Skinard song Sweet Home Alabama.

Aster1 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Don't forget about the quart of blood they drew Dan! He won't be strong enough to play on the way home. A pitcher of OJ & box of cookies, sleeping in the back seat all the way home. Congrats & Happy NGD Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
