Location: Orlando, FL | Hello all. Looking forward to getting together and making some music.
Anyone who wants to come by Friday to get an early start is welcome. Saturday will be the big jam day. If people are staying over on Saturday we may do a little jammin on Sunday too.
So, Who's definitely coming? And let me know when you think you'll be here, so we can have fresh coffee or cold beer, depending on your arrival time.
Any food or drink requests?
And of course, what guitar(s) are you bringing? |

| Making the short drive down to O-town Friday evening so the wife and kid can have a hotel to escape to on Saturday when (not if) the boy gets cranky. We'll come by Saturday in the morning, around the same time as Jim and Gary, with a Legend and Pacemaker in tow. Looking forward to it! |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | Zilla, your family is about to have the extreme experience of three old men crashing your house from Friday til Sunday. Your life may never be the same.
The Captain, TRboy and I should arrive late afternoon, early evening on Friday, depending on how many speeding tickets I get.
I will bring the UTE and probably the 1158CL.
We certainly appreciate what you are doing. Feel free to throw us out if we get too rowdy.
See y'all there! |

This one's version 2; MUCH upgraded from version 1. She tolerates my GAS, so in a word, Yes. (She let me keep a couple Hawaiian shirts for special occasions like this) ;) |

Okay, time for a real comment: Bring plenty of guitar stands, please. If you've been to a jam you know this, but it bears repeating. One of the joys of a jam is gawking at the array of fine instruments. Try to bring one for each guitar you bring, plus one. |

Aye-aye, Captain. This being my first OFC jam, do I bring anything else such as cables, small amp, etc.? |

I should have come up with a Zillafest cartoon, but every available night has been spent drawing and designing for actual customers. I am so ready for this break from the routine. |
