I had that choice, go local (if good one local) or go to him (about an hour away, which doesn't worry me in the slightest).

Anyway, I've gone with G.P. recommendation (seeing how I couldn't make decision lol sigh) and chickened out speaking up. No worries (gulp), this guy supposed to be very very good.

p.s. love your quote by Anne Rice (my feelings too).
