Hello!
Sounds like we have a plan. I hope to get down one year for the jazz festival - is that in May? 
Actually things are progressing. I picked up the last of the Arlon PCB's today and I confirmed that the front plate finally did ship to me.  Now I can fit everything up and get proto parts anodized and laser engraved for pics and spring loose the production batch of parts.  Slower than I ever expected but at least it is moving forward.  We should talk on the phone in the next week or two to finalize your needs so please give me a call. 
Thanks!
John
