Hi All:
I meant to make a post a few days ago but time here just evaporates. As some of you know, our beloved Super Moderator HP is here in the U.S. for vacation - making a near east coast to west JBL whirlwind tour.
He arrived here in Chicagoland early this past Saturday and he and Angelica spent 2 1/2 days with my wife and I. The visit was short but we had a great time and I had an opportunity to return a bit of the hospitality that he has extended to me on two previous trips to Germany.
We had visions of staying up late, eating, drinking and listening to JBL's but each day flew bye way too fast and we went down fairly early compared to my visits with him in Bad Homburg. We spent a lot of time on the patio drinking Asbach brandy and talking JBL and forum issues. We spent some time in my shop talking cabinet techniques and his Monday departure was here before we knew it.
They saw just a small bit of Chicago - Navy Pier for several beers, a short visit to the gift shop at the House of Blues and lunch at Hard Rock Cafe. I'll post a couple of pics when I get them shrunk down. Would you believe - HP sat right below a figurine/statue of his favorite rock artist - Mick J. and I recall a Stones tune or two playing while we were there. We had dinner later at a good local German restaurant - not at the request of HP or Angelica (they were hell bent to eat only American food on their trip) but because the place was close and I knew the food would be the best. HP and Geli ate good ole American steaks but both opted for German bier with their dinner.
They were off to Vegas on Monday and are by now likely up into the Napa Valley area drinking some good wine. Maybe he will pop in here with an update when he has a free minute.
Rick
