SXSW, at the fair...

Imagine 245 guitarist and 56 percussion players trying the best to be heard during the speed sets, where band plays in 10 minutes to attract people....great enviroment to demo a true tuned guitar...
Well, lot of people and even the art was seen, have not big thoughts about that....some really nice guys did look and tested my guitars....

Peppe and Anders Thidell at the Gear Alley Expo SXSW

Anders Nilsson, the texas boy


Texas is a great ranch county also...did I mentioned that?

General, Ettan or Grovsnus....

In Texas it is LongHorn of course!!! the claim It is the real thing...! ?
Something they have not a clue about is snus...taste like shit , period!

Big Rib Steaks...

Ola, Joan and TJ, Peppe, Eva and Anders are now suffering from what we in Sweden call " Paltkoma", in this case with pure ribs...
A half cow was served on a plate each, so...after a real Texas diner we boys felt like pregnant, but it was really good!
Anders is first prize on actually finished his 2 ton Rib Steak and be able to walk outside himself.....
First day of SXSW soon.......
Oh, yes, I did forget to tell that Peppe was having a Tequilamargarita that night as well....

Renting truck at last....

After finding out that no one then Texas born, cornflake licensed people can drive the actually trucks at the company we had contacted for our truck, we at the end find another one with a proper name also.....even Jerry will find this Ford F150 big, it is like the mean machine with longhorns on!!!

Now the stand at SXSW is done, will be good we hope. After a visit at Guitar Center where everyone treat us like big stars we feel good! ( Why, well Ola was heading there some day ago and had the GoldTop TT fretted on in the car, walking in and said:" -Hi, I bought this guitar and something is wrong with the neck, please help me out", The guys looks like stupid when looking at the frets and said, you must have exposed it for extreme heat or....similar, maybe...what the f'xxk is this!! It can´t be thrue this!! and everyone around the store needs to check this out, even customers...well it ended up that they really like it and understand the great thing about TT ....

The Body Clock

Yes, as always you fell like you need 27 hours sleep, and finally in bed it goes...Bing! Hello brain, want to play?
