Location: Central Massachusetts | Darn, I was going to link back to that spam that came in a couple of weeks ago with the long list of fictional guitars.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'm going to make it up there for the 4th. :( |

I am a bit concerned that if you don't show and Wabbit and a few others ride motorcycles, Miles may not have enough guitars to keep me occupied. I may have to learn to play something on electric guitars.
Lets shake the trees and see if we can get tdeej and some others to bring a couple van loads of accoustic guitars over. |

Reading that post the light just went off. I've always just laid down the rhythm tracks with whatever I had plugged in, then gone back and played melody...er, lead...over it with the same guitar. Dayum. Even with an Adamas and an Ovation sitting here it never occurred to me to lay down rhythm with one of those. Excuse me while I go bang my head on the wall. |

Location: Jet City | You know, strumming acoustic parts worked for Neil :confused:
Anyway, I think we need to teach you some muting techniques and no 3rd chords when you're over here. We'll have some acoustic fun for sure, but we'll have some electric fun too!
I'm bummed DVD isn't gonna make it, but I'm pretty excited about this thing.
Mark, are you gonna be able to get any of your herd over? Do I need to bring the truck to your place and pick ya up? :D
Man... 3 months is a long time! I'm ready to play now! Maybe we can do a pre-get-together!?!?! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'll be in Charlotte the week before the 4th and flying from there to SeaTac, so I won't be able to bring any guitars. I thought about taking a couple over when we moved my daughter's stuff to Portland in June and letting her bring them up, but now she's not moving till August.
Most of mine will be covered anyway, except I can't think of anyone close who has a Ute. It's too bad, because most of them need new strings and I wanted to give Waskel something to do. |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | I'm still working on this one - my Saturdays are pretty well wiped out during market season, so probably not going to happen for me. If the party were Sat/Sun, I'd be there for sure.
If nothing else, I can probably send a couple with Woody for enjoyment. The Koa 12'er I'm sure would be fun, and I might have a Ute by then to lend out as well. |

Eden, you could bring the 'day-olds' for toast on Sunday! (and I promise to close my eyes during the blessing......)
(Re: event items....I've already got two 'wind songs' written. Lyrics only.)(so what's OUR theme?) |

Grab a good seat.
See what happens next.
Play everyone's except your own guitars until Miles either kicks you out or puts a blanket over you.
Repeat for July 5th... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | My kind of agenda, Mike. I suppose the eating and drinking part is just assumed.
Unless Miles has a huge supply of music stands, like he does guitars, everyone should try to bring as many as they can. Greg also had a great idea for keeping the guitar cases straight--a roll of masking tape and a sharpie. We labeled our cases, which might have seemed a bit anal for the first person there, but it was essential once we had a couple of rooms filled with either brown or black Ovation cases. |

How about "Wine Women and Song"? We should be able to cover at least 2 of the 3 in abundance. |

You can't have too many guitar stands..
..well at least as many as guitars, anyway. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | If someone wants to buy one of those little Fender stands that holds acoustic guitars, I'll buy it from you when we're done and ship it home in my luggage. One of those Ultimate stands would be OK, too. Just something that I could cram into a suitcase. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | Mark, as the event grows near and the participant list shakes out, we may be able to find a way to get a couple of my guitars up there for noodling. Looks like Miles still has a couple of roundbacks in his collection, and if Tdeej comes, I'm sure he'll bring plenty, too. |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | Mark, Hercules makes a nice one, that folds flat just like so and holds any size acoustic (except a SSB Ovation).
I missed the Sunday part of this in the last 8 pages somewhere...I may have to see what I can work out.
Is there a tentative schedule worked out yet as far as start/end times? I could arrange to drive up Sunday morning and hang for a while if nothing else. |

Including the one on it's way, I only have 2 roundbacks to contribute. We allowed to bring non-O's? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | The Herc stand would be OK, but I thought it was a bit pricey. I've got one of the full size ones, which I currently have an SSB on, and 3 other stands, which is a couple more than I need. I'd just like a really small one to travel with. |

Mark, I think I only paid about $18 for mine off Music123...can't remember if it was a regular price or a sale though. The Fender ones are pretty nice too. I have a pair of the slim electric-style ones, which actually DO fit the SSB Ovations. |
