The only thing not awesome about that is that it's so far away, it's not possible for me to go. Definitely some big names; some of the very few who have survived the last 15+ years and still armoring!

I know the first three by name and reputation...the fourth must be of considerable skill to be named among them.  I doubt I'd make it but I won't say no just yet.
