Capo, I'm really glad you're coming. As for plugging in or acoustic... both! Ovations can plug in? I wondered what that little hole in the back was. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Just got up to NC last night. There really aren't any gas problems anymore. Those coming might make sure to bring a sweat shirt or some jackets, it can get pretty chilly in the evening and at night. You might want shorts during the day but definately want long pants at night.
Only a week away. |

Plenty of couches and a fold out.
Otto, are you still onboard?
Y'all let me know about arrival times so I can plan on some eats.
If anyone else would like to stay Friday night, just drop me a PM.
Trboy, would you and the Mrs. like to join us Friday?
Looking forward to the whole weekend! |

Location: Sydney, Australia | Thanks Beggin. This is very hospitable. Depending upon my circadian rhythms I may either be asleep on my feet or ready to start a brand new day when we arrive late on Friday night. |

Location: GA USA | Seriously, Beggin, I think Richard's plane gets in around 9:30, so we may be LATE, though I hope not past 1am. If you want, you can leave the back door open and we can just crash in your office.
Richard, you'll find that hospitable and Beggin are the same thing. |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | Richard, if I have figured correctly, it will be well past lunch time, for you, when you get to Simpsonville. I have been known to cook a few late night breakfasts, but I am flexible.
Have you ever had grits?
Depending on what time g8r and Otto arrive, and knowing us, we will still be playing and singing when y'all get here. |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | The Jersey Girls are all set; staying at a B&B in Hot Springs Fri. and Sat. nights, and then at the home of the Music Mikes Sunday on the way back.
Even with the "commuting," we don't plan on missing much.
We should get down there late Friday afternoon; we'll offload the personal stuff and trek on over while it's still light.
6 more sleeps!! :D

I'm bringing lots of TimTams to the jam. Also, I was going to pick up a bottle (or two if that doesn't exceed my allowance) of duty free spirits when I arrive in LA. Anyone got any particular preference?
Two holes! Yeah, my W597 had two as well. |

Location: Parrish, FL | Has some type of a schedule been proposed? When is everyone converging on the cabin, when will we brake up on Sunday?
I seem to remember that Keith proposed meeting somewhere Saturday morning and move on up to the cabin in late morning. Currently I'm not sure if I'm coming up Friday night or Saturday morning.

| Brad - as far as I know, the Southern contingent (me, TJ, Gway, Iffy, Captain_Lovehandles & Richard) are converging on Beggin' Friday night, then we'll grab TRBoy as we head up to the cabin Saturday morning, so Saturday's the big day.
Counting the days! |
