Do moderators ever meet? Well yes indeed they do, sometimes.

It gave us a good excuse to go have a look at the Grand Canyon, whilst in the general area.

And I got to test drive some items in the showroom ...

Looks like a great day!  

Great Photo's  Adriaan  Thanks !

If that couch could talk, there would be some amazing stories!

Awesome!

Bill, look again at the couch.

Glad you finally made it to the mothership!

Next time, it needs to be an all-out moderators' meet-up!

So, was the cranberry-colored couch donated to the Smithsonian?

I'm hoping to make it to the new facility sometime during my tour. The closest we will be resident to there for part of the tour is somewhere near Palm Springs so just wondering if there is an internal flight we could get form around that are to somewhere close to Alembic's facility. I just looked at the map and it calculates about 8 hours by car which is not going to make for a relaxing day especially leaving in time to get there before closing time.
Any suggestions welcome.

Jazzyvee,

The closest you will get is the show on September 2 in Saratoga, CA which is within a couple hours of Alembic's Rohnert Park HQ.  But you'll be traveling there from Fresno (south) the night before, and then traveling on to Lincoln, CA (NE) for a show on the 3rd - plus, the 3rd is a Sunday... 

The question you should ask is; where are you staying the night of the 3rd and where do you leave from to head back to the UK.  Most likely that would be San Francisco's airport SFO which has direct flights to the UK?

If you had the opportunity to delay your departure by one day and found yourself staying near SFO, that puts you a little over an hour's drive from Alembic.  But still not easy because public transportation over here would not be easy and you do NOT want to take an Uber or you'd spend every penny made on the tour. 

You'll be that close ... but it's not easy to get there.

That tour is going to be a ton of fun!
