Now that the dust has settled and I have had a couple hours sleep I want to thank each and every person who came out and made ToneFest Chicago happen!

A special THANK YOU to Nick Champlin for lending his support, his name and his baby to a group of guys in Chi-Town. Nick you are the best and I wish you could have been there, we will all see you the 18th of August in Florida!

To my ToneSociety brothers Teddy, Dean, Scotty, Barry, Don, Tomo and Bjorn what would I have done without you guys? There is nothing I can say that will express how much I appreciate your hard work and support to get this thing done. You guys are just incredible people!

To Kevin of Uncle Albert’s, thank you for providing the PA, putting up with all of us and making the show happen. I hope everything worked out with the van and I am very grateful for everything you did. Thank you!

To the Exhibitors, what can I say? You guy’s just rock. I made new friends and all of you are amazing. You put up with a work in progress all weekend and I know we kept telling you to turn it down ? I will be contacting you all and I just want you all to know how truly grateful I am that you made the effort and gave us your support. Some of you made a very long trip for this Fest and from all of us to you, Thank you!

Thank you to Tomo for the clinics and being the great guy you are. You are an amazing person and a great friend.

Thank you to the Mad Professor Team (Harri & Eero) who made a very long trip.

Thank you to Aleksander Nieman for debuting your new amp at our fest. I know this was a long trip for you and I am grateful for your efforts.

Thank you to Make’N Music (Teddy, Rubin, John, Shane) for helping out and making sure everyone was taken care of!

Thank you to Cliff for making ToneFest live forever, your film is going to be fantastic and I hope to spend more time with you soon. Angelo is a saint for dealing with this for 3 days.

Thank you to MENC!

Thank you to Mike my assistant for putting in the long hours and helping me out, you are a lifesaver.

Thank you to my wife Candice for working the registration table and keeping everything in order. Sick and all you are the best!

To all my new friends, thank you, thank you, and thank you! The show was a success because of YOU!

You people are such amazing human beings; I was so impressed with every single one of you. It is rare to find
people such as yourselves in any industry. You are passionate, you are caring, and you are the BEST!

Thank you to The Gear Page for helping us out with the Stickeys and allowing us to promote on your forum.

I am organizing the content and will be getting it up as quickly as possible.

Thank you again,
Jason

Jason,

I'm so proud of you and the great job you and everyone who helped, did to take TF to wonderful new level. What lay just around the corner could be very exciting.

I just want to chime in and add a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who participated too- Especially Jason for making sure I survived all the madness! :eek: To all the exhibitors- Thanks so much for coming. I am sorry I didn't have more time to sit and talk with each and every one of you (I had a bit more running around to do that I expected)! I am looking forward to playing with and spreading the word about plenty of brand new toys though!

I am so happy to have met such a wonderful group of people and forged so many new friendships I am sure will last a lifetime. I can't wait to see where this will lead!

I really need to rest a little now. I'll talk to you all soon- Teddy

Thank you for everything. Florida is going to be fantastic, we should probably chat this week as I owe you a phone call :D

I am so excited about our future.

Talk to you soon,

Thank you Jason for your kind invitation and for coordinating everything so perfectly, arranging hotel reservations, airport pickups, dinner, booze, etc., etc! :) It was a great time!

Thank you Teddy and Make'n Music for the hospitality and for letting me use ANY guitar and ANY amp I needed to make the show a success. The hand-wired Marshall Super Lead, Germino 2x12, and the '56-style Strat were fantastic.
