I'll be there - unescorted - so lock up the farm animals.

(Although I will be coming up with a "whine" of Limeys - did I get that right, Master Templeman? - in tow.)

Yes, it's a whine (or a whinge)

As I use my actual real name on the board I'm going to use a pseudonym for the tour. It will be "1189convertedto1689Adamasguy", though I may change that pretty soon. I'll be easy to recognise as I'll be wearing a football helmet. :p

Bill, unlike last year when we were sitting waiting for a guitar case to show up... I remember having to go to my room to bring out a "brown" case.

Then the creatures (I think it was Al) came up to our table to sniff out what was in the case.

I don't think we will be so shy this year.

It will be more like... Hey you, you a round back or what?

I will bring something old and something new.
And a years worth of BS.

See you next week

There are over 70 people confirmed. I'd say most do not post here, they are lurkers.

So to all the lurkers coming to the tour... Looking forward to meeting you!!!

For all of those who will be going to the "Tour"... I just noticed that you can buy Digital Disposable Cameras (I guess I don't get out enough) quite cheaply, dare I say for a "song".... how about getting a basket of them for the "Tour Attendies" so the rest of us "poor, poor, pitiful me's" can be tossed a photographic crumb from the Mother's table???

I'll be there, with Michele and a guitar bud of mine, Chris. Two other guitar friends of mine (some of the "lurker" members) are also signed up for the tour. We all psyched!

Am I recalling correctly, that there is no bar in this hotel?

Isn't it amazing that only the guys from JERSEY seem to be overtly concerned that there is no bar in this hotel?? :D

Yes me bruthas, we truly are a credit to our state (and lifestyle). ;)

I believe the "area" that they serve breakfast sounds like the place for the pre meeting meeting.

I thought I was going to work half a day on Thursday... I don't think so...

For the long distant travelers. I'll bring two for you to play. A 12, and a 6.
Woz.

It's fun for me to hear more than 3 chords.

Cliff-

You know it just comes with the territory...Jersians need a certain level of blood in their alcohol system.

If we tried a more spiritual approach to dealing with high property taxes, incredibly insane insurance rates, and the collective massive drop in Driver's I.Q's that happens during even the slightest snowfall...the results will be dismal compared to the calming effect of excessive alcohol use.

Personally, I don't drink much...but I have to sedate the beast that lurks in my friend Chris. He's recently moved to PA which has helped some...but travelling through Jersey to CT will trigger some traumatizing flashbacks I'm sure. I'll just set him up in the corner with some Jungle Juice, and everything will be fine.

Huh? I must've misread "UT" as "CT" for the location. Bummer ... I've already booked the plane to the east coast. Guess I'll just show up there anyhow.

lady stonebobbo is scheduled to be there as well but received a (ahem) "request" from work that she be in Calgary next Friday. Still trying to wiggle out of that.

I "spent a weekend" one evening in WestEnd Dallas with Shiner Bock.


My cohorts eventually found me . . .

It's not that I'm "escorting" playadamas (jeez, the thought of that makes Clifford's farm animals look better all the time), it's that playadamas is so important that I've been hired to be a bodyguard.

May I suggest you hire "Designated Drivers" to put any unused guitars back in their stands.

And a very musical church service on Sunday for any of the newly repentant (pronounced hungover) to attend.

Have fun all. I do wish I could be with you and I'm soooooo sorry (not) that Willard won't be bringing his 1615 with him to the gathering.

In preparation for the trip you may want to start pronouncing your "R's" like the CTer's do.

Peace
