the standard was driven to philly from idaho. delivery was part of the purchase price. that was about 3K, then i drove it to FL for bulli brigade, add another 2500 round trip. before that, lind drove it from boise to BYOB and kelley park. that was probably 2200 r/t.

i think superjam is the same weekend as the classics? probably not, i have a family now so i limit my shows to a handful a year, usually campbelltown, the classics, bulli brigade. maybe a couple others...

anytime you are coming to philly, let me know.

`Sweet` just when you think you`ve seen it all UZI opens up fire on you. You have to be related to William Penn in someway. And that new shop is f-ckin great everything in there looks like 1920 all but the cow skin rug. Keep the pictures coming. And just how old is the shop? (building)

That deluxe is soo sick.

You have a lot of cool shit. I took one of my friends to a show last summer and he saw your rusty barndoor and I feel like every time I've hung out with him since, he's brought it up in conversation.
