Default I'm BAAAACK!!!

As a board sponsor!

As most of you know (and I'm sure some don't) I've left Va. Speed. Without going into detail, I will still be tuning, and will be opening a small shop again in the very near future.

I will be back in the good ol' U.S. of A the beginning of June. In the mean time, I am going to try and post some videos from over here in China. That's pretty difficult as they don't allow access to youtube or facebook or any of that stuff. The whole internet censorship dealio thingy.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, if anyone needs anything, gimme a shout.

Welcome back Ed. Hope you're enjoying your second trip to China.

BTW: I thought you were doing some "continuing education" thing? How are those exotic dance lessons coming along...
