I finally got your name right and now you make me believe your name is Oliver?

Seriously though, let's get through the current list with some deliveries before doubling up. There have already been folks asking to get 2 or 3 and I'm holding off in fairness to those that are interested. If things go well now that Ernie has a business manager and direction, everyone who wants one and those that want two should get them. But with Ernie's past, I don't want to over extend any promises. Hope you understand.

I'D TAKE A SPOT ON THE LIST.

On the list please

Done. You're #20.

I actually spoke to Ernie 2 times right before this last incident.
Please send him my regards and ask him if you may PM me his contact information so I can give him a call but put me on the list.

1st, let me apologize to Dak21st. I mentioned he was #22 but after catching up between posts & PMs (all based on date & time received), you are currently #24.

Also, since I've had a few PMs asking for specific designs I would like to restate that at this time, Ernie is not taking any special orders/requests on the type of cues he is building for at least the first 2 or 3 batches. I don't know if some will have points or they will all be of the plain variety. I have talked to Ernie's Business Manager about this multiple times and keep getting the same answer (I love consistency). And, I do believe this decision is in Ernie's best interest to help keep him focused, help build momentum and to enable Ernie to get on his feet financially so we can enjoy his great talent for a long time.

Personally, I can't thank you all enough for your support & well wishes. All I can say is please be patient and let this process work its way out.

Here's an excerpt from an earlier post:

"...I've had a number of questions about the next batch whether or not they will have points or not and the pricing: I have no idea at this time. This batch will be 3 pretty basic cues w/one shaft and will be priced about $600. The next batch may have points and of course would sell for more (Ernie's points are second to none). If that's the case, those next in line would have the right to pass on the more expensive cues without giving up their spots for the plain ones if/when they get built again. If the next batch are the plain cues I would expect those on the list to buy one when available. It's only fair."

Also, all cues will have the familiar EM logo on them.

Here is the updated list.

1) Ho (Jazz) 6/20 7:41pm
2) Hanqing (Torqiet) 6/20 9:32pm
3) Viperkiler 6/20 10:13pm
4) Sphinxnihps 6/20 11:46pm
5) Brian (Scruggsinhand) 6/21 2:24am

Very funny, Chris.

As far as Pathman, Zeek & BrooklynJay, you are all on the list. Thanks. #s 27-29.

Also, Taiko contacted me with a great idea that I will try to implement after the 1st batch of 3 cues are ready. He suggested I make this thread a sticky thread (or whatever) so it will always be near the top to make it easier for all to check their status on the list.

Hi All,

I'm starting to get a few PMs as to Ernie's status. He's doing well and I'm told he has just finished the first 3 plain cues. I'm waiting for pictures and we will begin the fun. Yay!

With that said, will someone please help me with how I can make this thread a "sticky" one so it will remain on top?

Thanks, Dave
