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.
