Yea, I was with my gal and she gets embarrassed when I talk about stuff like that so I didn't ask any Emulator or DM questions:) . I did ask about Nitzer Ebb and what happend back in the day that prevented them from opening in SF. He said something about not being able to get a visa or something to that effect I think it. Anyone in SF going to the Nitzer Ebb show? Hopefully they don't get held up this time. I remember everyone booing when VoiceFarm can on. Hey I was happy bought my first E1 the night before from them.
