    Default Robert and Algonquin Meetup!

    This is the 2nd time these old boys meet (we met briefly in Kingston 3 years ago). Toronto was fun - my first time there. Interesting city - lots of stuff to do downtown. The CN Tower was awesome! Especially since I'm scared of heights.

    I had a great time. Algonquin took me around with his Toyota Sienna, and we had a great day looking at guitars, having Lick's burgers, and just hanging out.

    The 12th Fret is a really cool guitar store. Steve's Music had tons of good stuff, but the store was not as personal and interesting as the 12th Fret.

    I got a good shot of a kitesurfer too.

    Thanks Algonquin for being SO SUPER!

    Sounds like a really fun day!
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    ^ This!

    I would love to get up to Canadia some day. Alas, I can't afford to drive to Georgia at this point.
