Location: NJ | Nice "flyer" Brad!
I'm sure that it's been printed in mass quantity and is being posted on every telephone pole in downtown Detroit this very minute . . . .
I once threw an outdoor SummerBash at my home and had invited a "select" group of co-workers via an e-mailed, similar "flyer" . . .
On the Friday before the party (I had taken the day off to prepare my house/yard), somebody in the office (I would assume "peeved" that THEY weren't invited) printed the flyer and papered the warehouse with it . . .
Had about 30 VietNamese and Ecuadorian workers (who spoke not a WORD of English - but were curiosly capable of reading the invite - and finding my house) show up to happily relieve me of a couple of kegs and a goodly part of Frank Purdue's weekly production . . .

Afterall...this is the internet. Safe, Secure, and contained.
That was a rotten trick they pulled on you Cliff.
BrianT and I spent about a hour last night over-thinking this thing. Small drum kit? Three acoustic amps with mic inputs? A single powered speaker through a mixer? A full PA? I want to amp up to provide a little flavor to the guitars and vocals but don't need to blast the neighborhood. I plan on amp time in the afternoon and early evening, then move into the unplugged tiki torch phase.
I figure that maybe only 3 or 4 OFC'ers might make the trip. I'm trying to fill out the crowd with some musical and non-musical friends.
Any suggestion that would help make this thing go would be appreciated. |

Have your septic pumped and load up on charmin!
Better yet, rent a "Blue Room". Get the Handicap one, the side rails may come in handy. |

Seriously...From the two tours I have attended, I concider OFC members to be a very well behaved bunch. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I was just kidding. I hope the OFC is a well behaved bunch. My daughter would like to attend our NW OFC gathering. I'm sure she has probably seen much more bad behavior than I have, since she's in college. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I was: (a)too drunk to remember; (b)it was so long ago I don't remember; (c)bad behavior then was so tame it wouldn't be considered bad behavior now; (d)going to a junior college in Western Kansas wasn't even close to the same as going to a private school in Portland; (e)all of the above.
I get embarassed being in the same room with my daughters when they watch the crap they watch on television. I prefer to watch that crap by myself. |

The home of Chris-Craft boats.
Back in the '40s they made PT boats here. Boy I would love to have seen one of those blast down the North Channel. |

Location: Illinois | So..Algonac is a village? What state / province? I'm in the mid-west, North Central Illinois, but don't know the town of Algonac. Sounds Indian. Maybe up around Lake Gitchigumi? |
