Registration will probably start soon.
Time to beat the drums for those procrastinators out there.
So...
Who's planning on going?
Will this be your first tour?
What are you bringing?
.
Second tour for me.
I'll bring my AD-II, Breadwinner & uke.
Since we have that meeting room maybe we could use my Acoustisonic Jr. |

No.
Thinking about bringing the 1581. AA says they're 'musician friendly'. Will an OHSC fit in an overhead? |

Just hard to spend $1k on a weekend when the house needs so much and the kids need military school.
I'll buy a Lotto ticket this weekend and see what happens!
If I show it will be with a Custom 12 string and a Papoose. |

Location: Carle Place, NY | If all goes as planned, I'll be there for my first OFC Tour.
At the tour I'll be picking up my 1537 from it's reburbishing by the factory. I'll also bring my 1619 which I should be getting back from the factory real soon. They've had it since the beginning of January. Looks like the factory is very busy with repairs. I'm looking forward to to seeing it. |

$1k? Michael, I just checked priceline - you can get a round trip leaving Wednesday night and returning Sunday for $259 - $50 cheaper than mine, and I booked 2 months ago... |

I have a copy of a letter at home written by the head of that federal security outfit that used to do searches at all the airports. I think it was TSA. Anyway he says that musical instruments can be carried on if they fit in the overhead compartment. Most guitars do. I got it off some website, which I'll post this weekend if I remember. |

I'm not sure the OHSC will fit in the overhead. I was recently on a JetBlue flight and one passenger brought on board two electric guitars, but they were both in gig bags. My guess is that the OHSC will be too big. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | An OHSC for an Artist (one of the brown cases) fit fine in the overhead on 2 Southwest flights coming back from Phoenix last week. The smaller case with the wooden roundback in it fit even easier in the overheads on the 2 Southwest flights going down.
Southwest doesn't assign seats, but we got in the first boarding group except for one leg of the flights back. I went toward the back of the plane, put the case in an empty bin and people packed several other items around it. I got a few scowls when I was carrying it on and off, but no other problems. Three of the four flights were full. I hope that helps, if you can compare the type of plane Southwest uses with whatever anyone else will be flying. |

Location: Warren,Pa. | I'm coming for the third time...I can't decide if I should bring my Pacemaker or my '97 Collectors. They're sort of at opposite ends of the spectrum. When we get to passing our guitars around, I wonder which one folks would rather get their hands on? John <>{ |

Location: Parrish, FL | Wasn't planning on it 'cause of new job and moving etc. Mentioned it for the first time to my wife when I got the OFC CD from Witco. She said I should think about it, depending on what is needed at work. Got a bit excited and checked on flights, etc.
Got a call last Friday and my Mom was admitted to Moffitt Cancer Institute in Tampa for chemo therapy to battle lukemia.
Take lots of pics and recordings. I'll participate after the fact. Maybe next year. |

Location: closely held secret | Same here, Blue. While we were in Africa we got a call that my mom (in nursing care w/alzheimers) had several strokes. Now we're just waiting for the other call.
We'll record everything we can (especially with the asian photo & pharmacutical dude coming).
Really sorry about your situation. |

Location: closely held secret | Cool, just talked to American Airlines. All my flights are on MD Super 80's, which have the oversized overheads. "You should have no trouble fitting your hardshell case into the overhead. If for any reason you do, the flight crew would be happy to stow it in a closet". What nice people. :D
I'll be bringing the 1581. |

I am booked at the hotel for Thurs and Fri Night.Hoping to bring my Adamas 12 string if it will fit in the Viper but I'm bringing a passenger so I have to see if it'll squeeze in the hatch. If not maybe take my daughters First Act? I dont think my truck will make the drive so gotta squeeze in on this one. |
