While Adam and I were waiting for the Lyft to take us to Holocene to start setting up Sync02 yesterday, I was taking a quick scroll through Facebook, and it threw up one of those "memories" things from the same day in 2016, which happened to be the day I arrived in San Francisco for Sync01. It was a nice juxtaposition, considering that my initial idea for a gathering of all our friends in this business to show off the gear and music we make in a comfortable and casual environment has effectively doubled in size in the space of a year.

While it may seem like I put all this together from a casual observation point, the simple fact of the matter is that I just come up with a context, and everyone else in the Eurorack Family commits their efforts and resources to making it a success. By the time the thing is running, I'm just a bemused observer.

In any event, the people at Holocene were understanding and helpful, Jason at [Control Voltage](https://controlvoltage.net/) did all the hard work, and all our amazing family of manufacturers and musicians pulled out the stops to make a great event. I'm so glad to be a part of this crew of amazingly talented people.

A special thank-you to T2, Rodent, Bana Haffar, and Derrick Baseck for putting on a fucking amazing after-event performance. That shit was epic, no joke.

I'm with boobs.

**Adam Schabtach** (2017-03-07):

We should make Steve wear a T-shirt that says "I'M BOOBS" or, more simply, "BOOBS" at events like this. I'm sure that a number of people have been with boobs and not known it.

Anyway, yeah, a good day it was.

@adam - a tiny name tag might do the trick but i'm sure i'd get some raised eye brows.. perhaps i could invert the name tag so it keeps it a bit inside joke-ish.

or "hey, i'm in the 3rd grade!" 58008

anyway.. Sync02 was great. was good to hang and see the peoples face to face

As a non-modular guy, I found the expo portion a bit frightening in a "I don't know what any of this stuff does" sort of way. But it was definitely cool to see all the same. I especially got a kick out of watching the Roger Linn demo the Linnstrument.

It was great to meet Chris, and the performances definitely made the trek down from Canada worth it.

I quite enjoyed T2's set. Anybody know if/where I can find his stuff online? Unfortunately 'T2' isn't the easiest thing to google for accurate results.

**Adam Schabtach** (2017-03-11):

@boobs - yeah, I wouldn't actually expect you to wear such a garment. :-)

@lockan - T2 is Tyler Thompson. This seems to be his web presence: http://t2-studios.com/
