Thanks to everyone for making for such a fun evening
Sam...how did you and your wife not get in any of these photos
Haha, Steve -- we were sampling the lemon drops
Best lemon drops of THE Show -- bar none
The highlight of my evening was definitely giving Debby a ride to and from your place, and hearing her stories, and BruceD's stories.
Thank you Steve and Cathy for being such wonderful hosts. I was first to arrive, but you couldn't get me away and was also last to leave.

the highlight of my evening was proving to my wife that there are even worse zealots than me in this hobby, to wit 'you', when you showed me the almost invisible $1200 ruby bearing that was specially milled for you for your TT. It was fascinating however to see the precision with which that tiny bearing was made
I had to bring something to show and tell because the scales at which we have to operate at for vinyl playback cannot be conceived of by most. That's because we are always talking about "precise" being a bearing machined to "better than a mil". Once we realize that a mil = 25.4 microns, and the grooves are measured in microns and with the "squiggles" going down to 0.1 micron, precision up to a mil isn't going to be good enough.
It was a fun session. I was hoping to be challenged more, but most of the audience just nodded along
