Around this past summer a guy named Rich Devine contacted me through a mutual friend about buying some gear. He asked me to meet him in San Francisco while he flies in from Georgia. So I drive up to SF from LA and we met at a studio. We hang out for like 4-5 hours talking about music, gear, live shows. He played me a few tracks he was currently working on and they were pretty amazing. We talk a bit more about his ideas for modifying the cyclone he was buying from me and then we ended the night. He is just truly a nice guy. He even suggested that I crash at the studio for the night because of the long drive back home, but I ended up staying at some shitty motel outside of the city.
Last night he sent me this link which has an image of the cyclone i sold to him.
