Good effort. No tee shirts?
Fuck, one pen! These shows are loosing their luster. Gone are the days you could cover your stationary costs for the year.
+2 points for Doug who has kept it old school actually

The organisers presented a cake to Doug he showed up as it was his birthday …Good job Dean wasn’t there as they did it …He was doing his talk on 10 best albums you should here before you pop off .It was very good …Shame some of the exhibitors didn’t follow suit instead of the usual suspects

I’ve got pretty much all of those (and am not dead, yet).
I hope Doug Brady had the sense to pay a proper fee, if he just said he would cover Dean’s expenses the lunch tab alone would have left him well out of pocket!

The Gryphon power amps are 175 watts per channel Class A. They were quite warm.
None, I won’t be sweating it.
