I agree, I for one would love to do a mini tour, but I bet my employer wouldn't be all that happy if I said, "I'm hitting the road, see ya on VH1." However, anything between SF Bay area and Santa Cruz on a weekend would be great. I say we approach all the Electrix, Line6, Lexicon and Gibson dealers in the area and say, "let's come in on a Saturday afteroon and show your customers what's possible." That would be a nice mini tour in itself, and could only help fuel loop device buying, hence loop device production and R&D. A win/win if you ask me.
