Only four more weeks! Any Bottleheads planning on attending? Last year we had Stereomour, Paramour, SEX 2.1 and a Quickie. It is not a show unless Bottlehead products are there.

As usual I will have my semi famous chocolate cookies there. Funny thing, for the last two years my Quickie preamp were more popular than my cookies.
