But, you may want to check something out with whichever church you are considering.
A few weeks ago we had our family reunion in SW Virginia and reserved the church hall where some of my siblings are parishioners. My family being what it is, beer was a necessity for the event. Luckily we found out in time that, as per a local ordinance, a permit was required to serve beer in a public space (such as a church hall). We got the permit without any trouble and the event went off with nary a hiccup. (So to speak. :cool: ) |

I'll have to check into it. But I have to admit that I really don't want to deal with people getting drunk. I don't mean to sound harsh, but that is the way I feel. I would feel very responsible for everything that happens,and would like to be able to come back to the church if everything works out alright.
I have no problem with alcohol (I've been known to have some sangria now and then), and if people want to go out after the guitar show for a drink, I don't have a problem with that.

I pretty much don't drink anymore because of the tough drinking and driving laws in NYS. Plus I have fun without alcohol anyways.
For everyone's information, there is nothing within walking distance (hotels, etc.) from the church.

(yes, the door WAS 'closed.' According to the homeowner it actually improved the working of the door. I have that skill, when falling in doodoo, to come out smelling rather pleasant....something to do with an uncomfortable array of horseshoes.) |

That was the bummer year I had to bail out at the last minute (I believe it is now referred to as pulling a weaser). Would've been my first trip to the factory (which I have since made up via the Guild tour).
.....and yes g8r....even with the stories I did forget.....(and weren't you comin back out sometime in Sept??) |

Didn't any of us do anything goofy at the Black Hills jam that was worthy of adding to the OFC lore? |

| I guess I just gotta expect the worst, huh? Some of these things mentioned sound like an episode of "The Red Green Show" :eek: :D :)
Nothing like this stuff happened at the Ladies Gathering.

Reminds me of a little poem I wrote for someone on another guitar forum. The guy hated Takamines, but I'll substitute the word Taylor:
As he threw his Taylor into the fire
and shouted "Burn, baby burn",
He received some Applause
and a standing Ovation in return!
