It's happening this month and I want to make sure all the synth freaks out there check it out. I promise to get lots of cool photos of all the synths and modular gear and I'll submit them to your site immediately following the event. Here's a sample of what I'll submit to you from last years event posted on my blog: http://kwotemusic.blogspot.com/2008/10/ah-bay-area-102508.html

Cheers."
