It is USA based but has members all over the world. Here in Holland we managed to get 20+ TDPRI-members together for a jam session, we've done it now 3 years running. And it is truly fun to meet in person all the people you "forum" with. The GME was great, met lots of nice new friends and ate well. I missed out on the late-night drinking (we're from Holland and over 50 - we don't really do much of that anymore...) but we managed to enjoy ourselve just as well. my other favorite forum is the TDPRI – dedicated to the appreciation of Fender Telecaster guitars.

Leslie and I are still reeling at how wonderful the forum friends are as well as the food and settings. Madrid is a world class city. Ben and Marina and the forum gang are world class people. We are lucky! Great food, great settings and great people and a lot of vino made for an awesome time!

Good to hear you all had a good time - We're looking forward to seeing the pics (hint! hint!), maybe even a youtube clip? I'm sure there was one from last year?
