Washington D.C. gathering completed (Lots of Pics!!!)

[ryanfender]

The Washington D.C. AGF gathering was a complete success. Being my first get together, I really enjoyed myself. Played a lot of guitars I would never get to play and meet some really great people and players. Thanks to Coil Guitars and Todd Stock of Greenridge Guitar for coming. Also, a big thanks to Ericsong for the venue. Here are pictures of the event, please add your own if you took any.

Looks like a great event at a fantastic location. Thanks for posting all the pictures and the video. Wish I could have been there.

[Randy Causey]

I had a BLAST! I show up with a Taylor 814c & 914ce (not knowing what to expect) and before I can unpack either... Eric and I have introduced ourselves and he puts a Kevin Ryan Cathedral in my hands!!! I really had a wonderful time. The venue was perfect. I actually didn't even have to play either of my guitars. There were more than enough to go around by a factor of 3(?). I played. You guys plugged me in. I met Todd Stock who is now doing some timely work for me. It never stopped. Linda gave me cheese puffs for the ride home! This was the best time I'd had since early June (Russian exchange student) or late July (on the field with the Phillies @ CBPark). I'd just turn around and someone would be playing and I could jump in (not an interloper, but an invitee), or they would put another piece of art in my hands and say "Here, try this!". (BTW, I'm the guy in the black Stetson)

Thank You One and All,
I am humbled. To the man (and woman) you were all perfect hosts!
Thank You! I would like to return.

[LindaW]

Russian exchange student :roll:

Too funny!!

Glad you could make it. This is indeed a great group of people!

[LindaW]

Guitar Porn!!! :)

I played a handbuilt short scale mahogany/sitka dread from a local builder that easily could have come home with me (she's still for sale guys!!) That guitar was sweet and SO easy to play!

[ericcsong]

Randy, welcome to the forum! we had some really great people sat and some fine guitars. you are quite the guitar player! glad you had a good time. stick around the forum too, you'll enjoy it!

[walkin_man]

Wish I could've been there guys. :(

Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling good that day.

[LindaW]

Was looking for you. Next time at my house...will let you know

[pmccaskey]

Great pictures. Thanks to all for posting. However, it looks like I have to go on a diet and grow some more hair. I especially appreciate the pictures of my guitars. I don't have very many photos of them and these are now special. Thanks all for a great time.

Thanks for having me out - lots of fun.

Hey Todd! Welcome to the forum! ( YJ John on OLF, the photographer from A.S.I.A)
Your doing some traveling! Didn't you make Woodstock also?)

[Todd Stock]

Yeah...seem to be getting around a little, and enjoying it a lot! Did an open mike last Thurs PM, and other than the 2:30 AM back home and work the next day, that was pretty cool as well.

[LindaW]

Thanks for having me out - lots of fun.

Linda - have an answer for your question, and hope the Taylor is still behaving.

It is, and thank you so much for that! So much nicer to play!! PM me with the answer :) Or you can post here, no worries.

Sorry for the delay in answering. Just saw your post. Yesterday was an insane day!

From a 25 year + Pro photographer..... those are much better than the average gathering "snaps" Nice job!
Your reflection in the one cutaway close up is funny.
