The response has been really fantastic - so much so, that we're already restocking several varieties. I'm still limited with a remote connection for the next few days, but will respond to emails with the PayPal address (I'd prefer to not post here) as soon as possible. The BlackBerry just isn't cutting it! In the meantime, here's what is shipping out first: I've got the Tortex Extra Heavies (Purple) and the Tortex Thins (Orange) on order, and expect them within the week. I'll need to reorder the heavy Purple Pearloid celluloid, as we blew right through those. Thanks much.

UPDATE: 1. Thin picks - there are some coming! Sorry for the confusion. They are .60mms (like a Dunlop Thin) and will be orange Tortex. 2. If ordering the HEAVY CELLULOID picks, please specify if you want the Purple Pearloid or the Opaque Yellow. 3. It looks like we have enough interest in doing a run of the #355 picks. They will either be done in white or tortoiseshell celluloid (nothing else is available right now), and I need to get the pricing back from our supplier, since they will require additional charges and work to get our logo to fit. Details to follow on those, probably some time next week... 4. We are also waiting on the Tortex Extra Heavies. They are 1.14mm and will be identical to the purple Dunlop stock. I'll be online later tonight and will hopefully be able to upload the pics then, which should help eliminate confusion. I'll also be able to respond to all the emails later on as well. Thanks again for your patience - this storm caught me at a bad time for this stuff!

Sorry - we had some really nasty storms and flooding yesterday that took our power out. Just got it back a few minutes ago after 24+ hours. Will get something up soon, hopefully by tonight. Thanks for your patience...

Actually, that's Solid Yellow (like the Fender stock) and Purple pearloid. The yellow isn't actually pearloid - I'll put some pics up later on tonight.

Just shoot me an email - it'll be easier to track than doing the orders here. I'll also reply with the payment info too: PayPal, Personal Check or USPS Money Order acceptable in US PayPal only outside. Thanks!

Austin - I believe those are called a #551 shape - those are smaller than a standard #351 and come to more of a point. I can see if we can get those done, and will let you know. Not sure if we'll incur additional charges to get the logo to fit on there, and we may have more limited choice of colors, but I'll check.

We've been patient, but finally got things going with our supplier on the HFC picks. I'll post the final details here tonight, but we're rolling on these starting NOW. We have several sizes, shapes, colors and pick material available, but all have that same great HFC logo. We'll be offering in packages of 10, and unlike the demo shown below (mixed bag, and there actually aren't 10 picks in that photo), each package will be the same color/gauge and will be $6.50 each for 351 shapes, $7.00 each for the 346. This will include regular USPS to US destinations. Orders out of the US will be higher, price depends on location. Off the top of my head (I'll correct if mistaken later), we will be offering: Celluloid: 351 (standard shape) Medium - White and Black Heavy - Yellow and Purple Pearloid 346 (rounded triangle) Medium - Tortoiseshell Heavy - Black Tortex: 351 (standard shape) Medium - Black Heavy - Green I am also placing an order in the next week for Extra Heavy in either Tortex or Celluloid, depending on which version people want more. I can also do a run of Thin gauge if there's sufficient demand, but when we did the initial polling last year, nobody wanted those so they missed the initial cut. I'll get some actual pictures of the actual picks up later on. Please email me at: chris at hamerfanclub dot com with any questions or orders (this is not the PayPal address, by the way). Thanks!

Update: We are discussing in greater detail tomorrow, but it looks like we are going to have an event on Friday afternoon/evening and the jam will be on that Saturday night. We have put a deposit down on the venue. More details as I get them...

I hadn't even made it this far down in the thread, and was thinking along those lines - Gold metalflake, single TV Jones in the bridge, and a little Stike magic. Snooze, ya lose around here!

I'll pass along the info as soon as I get more in. I'm booking my flights asap.

Looks like something Turdus would have played 10 years ago.

The annual brouhaha typically starts the first week of August. Maybe we had a leap year in there throwing things off a couple of days?

Some very valid points are being raised here, however personal attacks (overt or the passive-aggressive thinly-veiled type) aren't going to fly here. Let's keep it clean, people. If you have a beef with somebody, take it offline. No need for that crap on our board.

Ditto here. In fact, I believe I actually caught most, if not all of that on video and/or 35mm! I believe Mr. Stonge offered me a tidy sum to destroy the evidence at one time or another...

I believe I also partook of the cool New England evening air at that time.

Truly an amazing guitar.

Totally rocking that thing!

Bite your tongue there, Brian!

Exactly my thought.

That's a good one!

I've seen them a few times, and they definitely deliver. Not what I was expecting going in to the show. They really made Dave Grohl and the Foo work hard as a headliner!

Believe it or not, they've sold at between $800 and $1k recently. They first hit the streets in '99 though, not '98, not that that matters.

Text me when you're ready to book flights. I'll get on the same jet as you. No bars in Nashville, no layovers in Vegas though...

Waiting to hear back from Chris H. (Hectorp) on the room/venue info. Will touch base with him ASAP.
