We're nearby Missoula, MT; a bit outside the 'official' Northwest but close enough. :) Moved from San Antonio in '98. Loved Texas; in love with Montana. My best friend, and the one responsible for getting me back into guitar, is in Tacoma, WA a hair away from Vancouver.
So...we've got all that geography and guitar in common. And GT. :D
