To quote Ivan P.:"Crispy sure knows how to throw a party!" I cannot say it better. We are having a blast.

Ooooopssssssssssss!

Hate these progressive bi-focals

Sorry, sir

A long drive back and I ain't a hittin' on all eight cylinders yet.

Damn, I left TUCK off that list............geez. I'm gonna go take a nap.

Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps?

Wowee! Between Friday night and what was literally an all-day AND all night affair Saturday, I'm reeling even more than usual. I'll post my thoughts and highlights once I'm recovered. I'm still in heaven from both the Madeira's show (Transcendent!) and breaking the record at the Rumble Jam (TWENTY! Count 'em! TWENTY guitars all playing Rumble at the Same time!), not to mention all the kickass bands and music in between. It's been a helluva weekend, and we're not even done yet!

Right now the Rebel Surfers are rehearsing in my garage--they sound great! I'm about to head out the door and grab a few more bottles of Gatorade to help prep me for the final night. Seven more bands, five of which are brand new to the Summit, plus the big raffle drawing, all tonight!

See everybody soon!

1. The sound of 20 guitarists playing Rumble at one time is an amazing thing!

Before everyone notices from the video, the DiPinto Galaxie 4 I was "playing" was not plugged into anything. My shoulder is so stiff my arm still locks up trying to play. So I was doing my best American Bandstand performance. Thanks to Mike Tomaszewski from DiPinto for letting me pretend to play instead of him, to Crispy for letting me use the raffle guitar (did he even know?), to Ivan Pongracic for lending me a pick so I wouldn't look completely idiotic, and to EVERYONE ELSE at the Jam for allowing me to sit in and have a wonderful time.

It was, quite literally, a blast, especially with all those amps at ear level!

This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got.

well....i defended my 'i'm branded' title from last year. last year no one stepped up but me so this year the winner from two years ago and i battled it out to see who the 'true' champion is and i won thanks to the support from the sg101 crowd. actually, chrispy should be the true champ as he's the only one that comes close to matching link's solo. mike made a pretty good stab at it and i played it safe and just soloed over the chords. any-hoo..........here's a photo of my spoils

Courtesy of a Bill Stancill on Facebook:

Bill is the Summit's official videographer, the man behind the mixing console when we shoot all of Summit vids, and also a kickass photographer. He tells me he has hundreds of shots from the Summit and will get them to me soon. When he does, I'll start putting them up on the Facebook and Google Plus pages.

Still a little lightheaded from last night, but doing way better than I thought I would at this point. Maybe I'm building up resistance to Instro Summit fatigue...

Crispy you are the man! Thanks again for such an awesome event! Now it's a countdown to SG101 convention! BTD - The room and flights are booked! If it's half as fun as the Instro Summit I will be in Nerd Reverb Heaven (Crispy had an awesome statement about this referring to the Madeira that I can't recall the verbiage to right now..Crispy?)!

Great Job Crispy! What a great show that sets a new bar. Friendship, camaraderie, and great music. Thank you from all of us!

I will have to move the entire Atom Bumz back line out of my basement to make room when the UTZ truck arrives! YES, they are mine! I think that was the UTZ girl Stage Left dancing with Blood Red River!

How 'bout a little BBQ to go with those quality Utz chips? Featuring the head Summit instigator himself!

Note that this is a flip recording by fill-in bassist extraordinaire Steve Eisenstadt (who pulled off an incredible set with only one rehearsal... outstanding!) I'm sure there will be killer footage of all the bands once Bill gets done working his mojo!
