			<description><![CDATA[ Hey weelie, thanks for the map of Helsinki. It was extremely useful. I went to maybe 7 guitar shops while there. Didn't really find anything to buy but I had fun just browsing. Saw some cool guitars; an Eddie Van Halen Charvel, a George Lynch ESP, a Dean signed my Michael Angelo Batio and a &quot;Lordicaster&quot;. <br><br>I was a bit upset at one place though, as I saw they had chained a Love Rock to the door...which was open...and it was raining. I wanted to save that guitar. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ you Nigel,<br><br>and all the other core members I think of as friends and keep meeting them here.<br><br>Anything little I can do to keep this up, you can count on me.<br><br>I will never forget how pleased I was getting the invitation over here as I have felt that my knowledge about anything was so mediocre (getting better using this well of knowledge a lot). ]]></description>
