Location: michigan | I spoke with SLIPKID. So far, Slipkid and Brian are in.
Hope to bring back GuitarWannabe, Twistedlim, and hopefully we can get BVINCE to come down from the Caddilac area.
We had a great bitter cold jam at Slipkid's last winter.
Anyone else who wants to come down let us know.
I think we had about 18 ovation/adamas guitars last time.
To get to Harsens Island, you go about 2 minutes past SlipKid's turn-off. There is a car ferry (7 dollars round trip) that runs every 15 minutes. Once you get across to the Island, we are about a 15 minute drive.
I was thinking we could go from about NOON on Sunday, until 5 or 6 (similar to our last get together).
More details, maps, loose agenda, etc. to follow.
Start letting us know via this thread if you think you might make it. Come one, come all.
Harsens Island is a nice escape. |

Harsens Island is a great place to kick back.
It has been called "Little Venice".
Boats, boats, and more boats.
Cool breezes' off the water.
I'm really looking forward to it. |

The only ice there will be making a tink, tink, tink sound as it falls into the glass. |

Location: michigan | guitarwannabee,
we can do electric. In fact, I can bring a drummer and bass player if folks want. We can also set up a litle P.A. system. As it gets closer, I'll solicit for some songs so my buddies can prepare a little. Spoke to the neighbors and warned them about the music stuff. Everyone was cool with that. |

Any members from Midland? (aka: Midloanians)
Or Flint?? (aka: Flintstoneions)
And wasn't there a Canuk from London, Ontario lurking about here somewhere? |

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | Although I'll be returning from the Keys and won't, regrettably, be able to attend, may I send an 'envoy' for the HISMJ attendees signatures?
At the BHJ, Karen (Jewel's Mom) gave me an Ovation book to traverse da OFC jam circuit. I'd love to have some of ya'll enter your ice-free 'mojo' and then have the envoy enjoy further OFC adventures.
LMK if ya'll are interested in guesting such a prodigious visitor... |

Imagine... an OFC event where I live closer than anyone else.
BrianT has been looking to try a 2080. He'd be real happy to see one there. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Looks like I'll be putting in a new water tower and well for the city. So I probably won't be able to get there except by an act of God (OH ... sorry if that's too much religion for some of you ;)
I WILL definitely be thinking about all the fun though. You never know though ... I might have to make a run to the Detroit area for some kind of part or something. (: |
