hey Brian, Buddha needs a ride. Make sure you take him to the ATM before coming to the event so he can get some cash for some 1 on 1s.

Anyone traveling down the west side of LA?  I'm near LA, I'm down to car pool but now I'm considering just spending the weekend in SD if no one's interested in carpooling.

I just got a call.  I didn't realize because I was on the waiting list for the AB Max from almost a year ago, I was at the top of the list.  My email bounced so they called me.  I just paid for my two Einsteins and they will be shipping early next week.

Did you get a 10% discount? Mine was $435 shipped for the Einstein and the transceiver CSXCV

Yes, I got the 10% discount and also I get to trade in 2 of my alienbees for full credit.

What time you planning to head out at?  I would probably just drive to your place and leave my car there if its cool.

Did you just recently get the 2 alien bees? I'd like to trade mine in if i can but one is over a year old and the other maybe close to 2 years.

I was on the preorder list last year.  They sent me an email saying that people on the preorder list could buy an alienbee now and trade in when the AB Max comes out.  It was only for the specific people who ordered the AB Max and received the email.

The wind knocked it down and nothing worked. I sent it in with a chip ring and they just sent it back with a new ring and fixed at no charge. I dodged a bullet because I thought for sure they where gonna charge me.

If they take back and fix/exchange water soaked/sand VagabondII's and B1600's then i don't see why they wouldn't fix/exchange your ringflash.
