I really like seeing members of this great site meeting up with each other! Nod Yes

Ira's belt buckle is brilliant! Cool

Nice pics, thanks for sharing. Smile

masterblaster84 - 2008-10-15 08:16

Very cool and your right, it would be nice if we lived closer together. We get to know each other about as well as we can via the S2G site but meeting in person takes our true friendships to the next level.

I need to get some cassettes like Ira is holding, they are very cool. Cool
So what boxes did you guys share?

All You Need to Do is Simply Buy One Of Mr. Lopez's Wonderfull
Boombox's and I am sure that he would be Glad to Include a Sample ReelClear,
As he did for me below as a Totally Unexpected Bonus Smile
& if Mr Lopez, Has Run out of these or aren't no longer Offering these as a Bonus then I feel Like one of the Privledged Few Cool

Here Below is What I recieved back when an how Nod Yes

well when I first opened this from MR Lopez I seen exactly this
100_3749 JVC RC 550 JW inside topmanreel

and here is a better view of the BONUS ReelClear that Mr Lopez sent!
