Kinda crazy, there have been a ton of new members lately - I’m just curious - where did you find RGO?

Howdy! I finally had enough down time to actually sign up and engage rather than just passively reading the threads. I’d bet I’m not the only engineer with a little extra time on their hands these days.
I’d known about you guys for ages via your turning up in innumerable google searches for lots of esoteric topics. There are excellent resources here, in terms of both the posts and the people that write them. Plus, the discourse is refreshing when contrasted with the older, arguably-offensively-named purple site (that I never bothered signing up for due to the low signal to noise ratio there).

Ha...that’s true. That’s an unfortunate name to have in 2020. As I grow this site, I might think about rebranding to just Real Gear. The online sounds like 1993. But I started the thing on a park and that’s the first thing that popped in my mind. Thanks for signing up

I found this site while searching google for real impressions of real gear in real world use. The bigger sites have dozens to hundreds of pages of slobber over everything hyped.

J K probably won't say it but I will - if you're happy with what this site offers, consider donating to assist as it's on his dime.
Cheers, Ross

Any plans for a new batch of Real Gear t-shirts? Yesh, I'd like one or three in the background color with the current logo dead center. Maybe we need a slogan? (to go with that shirt) How about a slogan contest? REAL GEAR FOR REAL PEOPLE YOU CAN'T FAKE REAL GEAR Someone's gonna suggest something 'real cool'. |

How bout: Plugged in to Real Gear ! Ooo... I like that, how about it Johnkenn? Maybe a slight mod to 'plugged in and turned on to real gear'? Dunno, just spitballing. But I still want blue shirts please. You could get enough orders together, possibly, and do a run? I'd pay you up front. |

Any plans for a new batch of Real Gear t-shirts? I started to get it together, was going to do it on a site like Printful and it was going to end up being like $19 in cost. I’ll probably just get so some similar to what I did before. I still have some XL’s left in that I think. |

Any word on NAMM 2021? I'd go I think. I've been on one airplane and a road trip to NY lately, I'm not dead yet.

It's not what it used to be for at this point anyway. I went for several decades when I could, on my own hook, just for the "kid in the music store" fun of it. |
