It’s important to add that Moog had a deeply psycho-spiritual view connected to the theremin; basically that it was manifesting creativity from the universe the way a flower manifests beauty from the sun. (If people are interested I can try to find source links, but I’m the former Co Chair of the Bob Moog Foundation.

I have the Moog Theremin (not theremini), and it's clear how much love they have for this (and all of their) instrument. I lost my antenna and tried to buy a new one, and they sent it for free because it didn't meet their quality standards. It looks absolutely perfect to me and works as expected.

Maybe you can help me out. I went to an event in 2003 or 2004 or thereabouts in London. I'm sure it was called MoogFest. It was due to be held at Turnkey, the legendary music tech shop, but a power cut forced a last-minute move to a bar in soho. Bob Moog was there. It may have been a birthday celebration. He signed t-shirts. I bought one, but but being young and foolish I preferred the silver print on black, so didn't get it signed. I did shake his hand and mispronounce his name to his face though. But I've looked a couple of times over the years and I can find no mention of that London event online, anywhere. Other MoogFests are documented, but not that one. I know I didn't dream it because I still have the t-shirt... What event did I go to? (edit - here's a mention but it's not very descriptive https://www.radioscienceorchestra.com/bob-moog https://www.radioscienceorchestra.com/bob-moog )

  In public comment I can just say it has had many owners. The version you describe was before my time but it sounds likely. You might be mixing the names up, though. I believe something like the London Synthesizer Club or a vaguely similar name did events like you’re describing. Look for info about Herb Deustch that might help. The current version is amazing and my favorite.
