Eggman in the Desert

Hey - I am going to be in the Indian Wells area tomorrow until Sunday afternoon. Thought I might stop by the factory Thursday morning. Is that cool? Anyone going to be around?

We'll be here, Eggy! I've got the day off on Friday so I can meet with the NAMM gnomes but if you show up on Thursday I'd be happy to drag you through, either me or TheStiffness...

Cool - just wanted to say hello to who ever is around - maybe drag my wife over to see the place. My meeting starts at noon back at the Miramonte.

Thanks Beth.

No worries. I get out there periodically. Hopefully, our schedules will mesh at some point.

Plane lands at 1pm - so we thought it might be easier to swing by there before going to the hotel - so 2:30 ish.

Leaving for airport now. See you soon.

We had a short, but fun factory tour today and I got to meet the lovely Mrs. Eggy, Elizabeth. Thank you for stopping by! Next time you're out here and we've got some time, we'll have to go out for sushi.

Mottoman, that's too easy!!!!


Bill, did you pick up a "new" bass too!!! huh, huh, huh???

You're soooooooooooo far ahead of me now, you even have time to visit the source. I'm sure you had a very nice time with the MM crew, I'm looking forward to the next MM bash down there.

Thanks for your time Beth and Nathan. Mrs. Eggman was very impressed with the joint. Amazing to see the place without a stage and sound gear.

Great to see Brian, Kevin and Derek. I'll send you guys some "real" Coors Light!!!!

Lots of crates ready for NAMM. I got a couple of hints at the booth theme - but couldn't put it all together. Should be fun for those going.

Sushi is a definite go next time we're out. And thanks again for taking the time to entertain us. Gotta love a company that makes time for an average joe customer, like me. You all are the best.

No new bass today - though I do have a rosewood necked BFR on order. Nathan showed me the pics of the Big AL that got posted while we were flying out here. WOW. I'll have to wait to see the goodies after NAMM. I would love to see the facility at SLO someday.

Thanks for hangin' out, Eggy! It was great to meet you and your wife.

I'm assuming that you are already considering allocating some $$ for a Big AL Fund.

Enjoy the desert!
