Never got there.....if we only had some more time! It would have been great!:(

Flap invited me over too .. I was too busy at the time .. doing what I don't know . I wish I could go back and do over.,,but I can't ..

I have no doubt it would have been "Plug Nirvana"!:uhuh:

Flap had loads of plugs, but it was his knowledge about them, the stories behind them, and his enthusiasm for them that made it all special....really special.

yea ... he let you fondle the 1 st Gibbs plug ... everybody fondled that plug .. most would keep it behind glass if a safe and tell you they had it .. Flap put it in your hand and tell old Gibbs storys..

seeing those plugs and that thread made me think of this past february.
i know you guys were really close to him and i really didn't know him. but if you allow me, you could appreciate this. i attended my first plugfest last year (with the idea maybe i would take up the hobby)and wandered over to a wall and table near the corner of the room where a tall, friendly guy had a LOT of plugs on display. i didn't want to bother him with questions and stuff, but i didn't have to. without a prompt he started showing me eye popping stuff, the first Gibbs, the story on how he got it, where it would end up. a lot of his creations and others. he talked, i listened. the guy was straight up, a solid guy. that day i left knowing whatever i would ever make would never look like anything i saw that day, but the spark was there.

good stuff Jeff.

based on the date on the photo 1/06 there are a few more added to the collection over the last 3 years :drool:
