...player that's going to wind up as Purchased From: unknown. Dang. I was gonna be so good this year and keep track of everything I acquired at the Big Show. Nuts. Anybody know what I paid for that Glass Crutch guy either? Not that important I guess, as I always say, "If you buy what you like...".

Really have been enjoying everyone's scans of convention booty. Had a long Saturday at work, a dawn gig west of town and hurry down state for another. Thought I'd be too tired to tip any beer but, well, no! Nice cold local IPA from that place this side of the bridge over to Larry H's old St. John's neighborhood. And then the ChipBoard and more convention scans and so here's mine!

Couple of R-10's there. You can never have too many of those. Pretty pleased to get the one. Wasn't exactly a "Holy Grail" chip, I never thought I'd ever see one. Boy, captured the C&J hats on that black w/purple $5 pretty good. Four chips pictured are remarkable to me because of the chippers associated with the acquisition, after all the people in the hobby are just as much fun as the chips. One little guy fills a gap in my collection and the green Model T recalls a Pippi Longstocking dealer in Winnamucca on that Nevada I-80 blitz a bunch of springs ago. So how come I've never seen that flashy Mizpah before?! Beautiful sentiment behind that name I've found out. I'll put something up about it someday when I've got another good brew at hand.
