Individual Category Winners: Those of you that have PM'ed me so far, thanks. I'll be getting your strings out probably next Friday as I haven't been able to get out to pick up postage/supplies and I've got bills due this week. Thanks for understanding. I figured I'd rather tell you upfront than lie and say it's USPS's fault and they're 'in the mail.'

Poll is over. First prize goes to itchyfingers. Second prize is actually a tie between itchy and duncan, but since itchy won first prize already, second prize goes to duncan. Itchy, please reach out to fretless to coordinate which prize you want. Fretless, once itchy has confirmed his take please get in contact with Duncan for second prize.

Everyone, thanks for playing again this year. Got some good ideas from the crowd and some things to look at for next year.

Btw, I’m going to put together a Hall of Fame thread later for this. It’ll be locked for editing except by me but I think it’s a good way to preserve winners past and present of this contest.

Nonsense. It made the cut. Here at GGF we have real rigs in our HoF.

So my care package arrived. I began by sizing it up.

Image

I opened it to find more boxes inside!

Image

And lo I was gifted these treasures!

Image

A nice cable, a pack of slinkies, 2 12ax7s (one EHX and one JJ) and of course a Dick’s Butter Dungeon T shirt! This is so awesome man. Thank you. This honestly made my day and brought a big stupid smile to my face. I’ll wear this with pride. Thanks again DBN. You’re awesome. And GGF is awesome!

Looks like NFA is loaning me his Peaverty Stupido Poor for the fretless T day drum jam.

Yup. Loading up the trebuchet right now. Should be arriving in about twenty minutes.

You may want to pad the side of your house. It's not a light projectile.
