Maybe next year another US trip might be on the cards. Couldn't you just hop in your lifeboat? You could bring your desert island guitar! | ||

Joined: December 2006 Posts: 6994 Location: Jet City | UPDATE: The corn hat was 2 feet in the previous pic is now soaring to heights of 8'+. I counted no less than 14 ears, so we're excited about the corn. Yellow squash, zucchini, walla walla onions, and green peppers are already puttin food on our plate, tomatoes are ripening, there are jalapenos, anaheims, and various other peppers are comin out everywhere, green beans are almost ready, and everything else is coming up VERY nicely (except the cantelope). Chasen Chantz and his Red Flame 1778T will be there, some that were there last time may remember Jay from Hand Shaved Noodles. Bassist extraoridnaire Lino Alimboyao will be attending, as will Max Campbell to help with some rythmic beats. I'm working on a friend who plays sax, and a few more non-OFC folks as well. Linda Lee who was there last year should be back as well, and so will Derrick "Buddah" Olds wih his B768 A/E Ovation Bass. There will be ample space to setup a tent if needed, and and there are several lounge/reclining chairs if if sleeping under the satrs is your thing (assuming we'll have clear skies). | ||

Sorry that we will be at a wedding on the other side of Washington on that date, but let me know if anyone will be hanging around Labor Day weekend. | ||

We just say that to keep people away. All of us transplants came here to get away from something... like too many people. So we ain't trying to get more people to come here. It doesn't even rain that much... We ain't even in the Top 15 Wettest cities. Although it does rain pretty frequently. But we appreciate it so much more when it is Sunny... Like NOW! | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 12755 Location: Boise, Idaho | We could use a little more of that. It's been 100 or more almost every day for the last 3 weeks. SWMBO is whining about how hot it is upstairs. It's nice down in the mancave with the guitars, but the downsize talk makes me worry that I'm going to lose my space. A daylight basement like Damon's would be great, but there aren't many of those around here. | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 12755 Location: Boise, Idaho | We get about 12 inches of precip a year, including snow. What they call rain here is what they call sprinkles or drizzle back East. In 35 years I've only seen it rain hard a couple of times here. People who grew up here haven't experienced a downpour. Portland or Seattle probably have a few more thunderstorms, but it is true their moisture generally comes from extended drizzles. | ||
