Location: NJ | I was talking to Rick Hall and he asked me to find out about gathering information about original Adamas slothead owners.
The idea is to bring everyone back to the factory with their guitar for a day and have all of these wonderful instruments back to kick off the launch of the #47 reissue.
If you have an interest in participating in this event please contact me at alpep@aol.com. Rick threw "August" around as a tenative time and sorry none of the details are worked out at this time.
If anyone can help me locate slothead owners please contact me.
thanks for your help!!! |

Location: 6 String Ranch | It is kinda funny since none of them were made in that factory. They were all made in Moosup on the third flood. So that being said maybe the more important aspect is that there are so many of them together at this point these mannnny years later. Does New England work this summer? |

This week most of my major tasks have gone from bad to worse. Today is Friday and I am going on vacation for a week.
A little R&R and R&B maybe?
A gathering of the Slotheads would be a great Documentary! Just don't call on Geraldo! |

I think you had ought to gather at the Seattle EMP with a gathering at Paul Allen's house following the photos.
I will volunteer my services at carrying large objects and pushing back the paparazzis.
Invite Dave Mathews just for fun. I think Anne Wilson is just down the street. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Moosup is in eastern Ct, maybe 10 miles from the Rhode Island line, about in the middle of the state. Cayman has since closed the factory and there isn't much there anymore. It's a small part of the town of Plainfield, 15 minutes north of Norwich.
It's probably lower on the list of choices of where to have this reunion. |

Location: Rego Park, NY, | I just found out last night that my sister-inlaw's new house is in West Hartford. I went to map quest and mapped out directions from her house to the factory. Her house is only 18.6 miles away. I now have a place to stay overnight whenever this party is planned. :cool: :) :D |

Whilst you're at NAMM, could you enquire to Master Hall as to whether or not anything might be happening with this or not? . . .
(Providing of course, he's as of yet started talking to you again . . . .) :) |
