Georgia Polkfest 2007

Countdown.

It never had a chance.

After putting the keg on ice, Ted gets busy with some early morning fishing.

Polkies from near and far roll in.

Sal shows us his card good for eating at all Waffle House's along I-95 for free.

The coolness in the Reel-Time-Theater is addicting as the humidity outside never lets up.

I thought I saw a gremlin in there.

Try it now.

I seen this once on my Computer!

Jesse swapping cables in the great room at warp speed.

Down here, the knob is on the left.

There was also a gremlin in here which caused the Taylo left channel tweeter to go out.

Did we forget anything?

Manley Stingray ~Tubes Rule~

Polk speakers old and new.

Steve's ears twitch...

... followed by an urge to tweak.

The SDA 1C's were popular and got a good workout in various configurations.

Dave listens to RTA 12 cousins.

Ted's disco night light.

Looking at these tubes as candles, a dearly missed member comes to mind.

Thundershowers and high humidity did not affect the mood of the party.

Steve & Carl getting happy.

While Lou asks if these are the last two wires.

These guys look like they just broke into the candy store.

Al, Mark and Monica show up early Friday afternoon. Carl being the good boy scout, volunteers to show Monica around.

Monica checking out Ted's theater while Bruce gets comfortable.

The lights dim...

Bruce stretches his tentacles towards Monica... " *EEK*"

Ted -- " Have you ever hooked up Niles transmitters before?" Steve -- " I've got one in my closet" . Easy Button.

Big, bold and beautiful.

The AC in the woodshed is ice cold. Sal, Joe and Ted enjoying life.

The presence in the Woodshed sounds phenominal. People ask Ted why not move the Carver's upstairs? He replies -- then it wouldn't be the Woodshed. This room is a retreat much like a bunker. Awesome.

Carl broadening his horizons. Bruce -- I've never had a request for Dee-Lite before.

In the wee hours of Saturday morning, Dude.. Moon Unit touched this.

Paid for by a group of hardcore vinyl members who chipped in.

Joe doing the dishes.

Mmm... squeaky clean.

What do you mean, it seats two!?! After this shot the Belly Buck Contest was forfeited.

In an abstract way, the mirror image reflects Joe of the '80's. On the right, in the present with The Clamp he is listening once again to vinyl with dear friends.

The Clamp ready for action.

The Woodshed rig. BAT and Musical Fidelity at their finest.

Ted's Carver's with George Daniel's pair peeking.
