    Oh holy shit. I am headed to my storage unit right now, hahahahaha.

    I owe Chris like 1000 cases of beer. Holy crap.

    Edit: For those of you who don't know @shipsupt loaned me his modded Kingsounds probably almost TWO years ago for a meet. They never made their way back to him or Don. I am basically human filth.

    This thread is now a place for you to share stories about BAD gear loan stories. Did you loan someone something and it took weeks or months of haranguing to get it back? Were they an asshole to you making you feel like a jerk for asking? This is the thread for it.

    My intent was not to shame you but merely have some fun given our friendship, I am absolutely sure Chris has no care at all for their whereabouts .

    But I am sure we all have our fair share of gear loan stories

    I think I gave my friend the original trilogy (Star Wars) on VHS to watch because he never saw it before. A year later I learned he had sold them and that he was 'sorry, I guess..' So I punched him in the face, we both felt bad, and now it's all good.

    I could tell you all about the Flashlight loaner tour, but that was just messy.

    I loaned someone my MSc thesis and never got it back. No big loss.

    LOL. Bad gear lenders! :p I have only @shipsupt's Kingsounds Amp. Safekeeping for no VAT back to UK. Since there is no VAT to Texas...can we get together and send him the system?
