The shows were great, and meeting so many RTHlings has been the highlight so far. Now we're hanging out at Matts, sphereguy here but he isn't able to participate much right now.
We gave close to 200 lbs of the remaining slabs and rough to the club to help with their shop expansion. Also time for a fresh start, a lot of it has been going to shows with us for almost 3 years and there are literally boxes of slabs at home waiting to be adopted, and saws to cut more.

“You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamors thus out of you for equality: your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche

Only that would make it worth missing a rock show.

She was a walking Swifty wiki.

I know one. Extremely mentally ill. Thinks her life is a Taylor swift song. Can’t seem to figure out if she pulled her head out of her butt, took accountability for her own actions, and stopped living vicariously through some dingleberries lyrics, then maybe she could get a grasp on her life.

Did he have a large vibrating flat lap or did he polish by hand?

All by hand, except when he tumbled. I think he had a rotary lap for some of the big stuff.
