For the Personal Attention of Mr Sterling Ball.

Sterling,

I am writing to you to ask for the pleasure of your company on June 13th 2009 at a venue yet to be confirmed for the '09 Knucklehead bash, LIMS, and all the Pellegrino you can take.

One of the wonderful things about your company and all the staff and distributers I have had the pleasure to deal with is their ability to achieve where others have failed. This year we were incredibly fortunate to have Beth visit us, and she was a world class ambassador for your company, next year we'd be eternally grateful if you would join her.

Pete from S&T & DaveB, along with the entire artist collective that performed put on an excellent show and it really should be witnessed by yourselves.

Please come and bring Scott & Brian too please.

I hope this doesn't piss you off, it's never my intention, I know you're busy and this would take up a chunk of your valuable time, the fact I'm posting this is a tribute to the individuality of EBMM and its principles, I couldn't name let alone identify on sight owners of say guitar companies in Corona or Memphis!

Finally if my request does get me in trouble (as some of my posts seemed to have killed threads you commented on apologies for that) then it's been a blast, I love my EBMM guitars and will always 'spread the word' as I really feel they're outstanding products.

As this is done in a public forum I suppose it could be perceived as ass kissing or fanboyism - however, I felt it needed to be done, I trust you understand my intentions if perhaps the delivery method a little flawed, I don't mean to put you on the spot, if you'd like to verbally beat me in private please PM or email me.

Thanks in advance, and should my plea be successful I may be in touch to openly beg for a guitar! - anything as long as it has an EBMM logo on it.

With deep respect and admiration

Mike Wallace
(Smelly)

Hopefully still welcome around these parts.

Why wait until then? Why not have BP come out around the time of The Open Championship?

Sterling,

On a (very bad because I have only been playing golf for a year) front I have recently played the Grove in Watford (home of the World Matchplay) and Celtic Manor (great hotel and now home to the Ryder Cup) - you come over and we'll have a round!

Dave

I think it's the 16th - 19th July.

It's in Scotland, which means that it will be raining at that time....
