here is the info. There will not be a tour this year. I cannot rule it out forever but in the near and not so distant future it will not happen.
Rick Hall has offered to have a Matt Smith clinic set up for us. I can host it here in Jersey and rent a small venue (autionhouseevents.com) and have the clinic, perhaps a guitar giveaway, and an open mic jam. The cost of the venue and soundguy will have to be covered but it is not too much (maybe $10 per person if we get enough people)
the date would be june 20th that is a date that matt is free and also the auction house is free. Matt is also moving to Austin in Aug so we have to try to coordinate around that schedule.
I have not yet looked into local hotels but I think I can make that happen also and maybe get a room in the hotel for Friday jamming and then sunday any stragglers can come to my house for a barbecue and jam.
I know this is not a ton of lead time but if it something that you can do please drop me an e mail with June 20 in the subject line and I will decide if we can make this happen.
Thanks

Al,
Is it OK if I cross post this over AGF? I know there are some closet O fans over there.
AussieJames,
If you decide to join the party, let me know. I'll bring along my Mustang Comp for you to play. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Well.....crazy times.
On Thursday Lia's mom got a lacerated colon during her colonoscopy. Surgery scheduled for Friday.
Then Lia found out Friday morning her younger sister's cancer has returned.
Friday afternoon they discover her mom has either ovarian or colon cancer (tests to be run on Monday).
So.....whats that all mean (besides my poor wife freakin out)? Means depending on what happens, she will probably want to go down to Texas to be with her mom. If that happens, I may try to work it so that she is down there the same weekend as the gathering and then I can probably make it. No sense in me going to her mom's cause her place is a 1 bedroom and Lia would want to stay there....hence no room for me anyway.
so yes.....you read a "maybe". |

they have no seating but make the best hoagies and steak sandwiches in the area.
the prices are rather expensive but one sandwich will easily feed 2 people unless you are moody or someone that is crazy hungry.
their hoagies are the best in the area and they have won many awards for them.
recently they started making cheesesteaks and they are awesome some of the best I have ever had. try the cheese steak hoagie.
they have a complete "cold cuts" section and all the meats are super fresh because they sell so much of them. EVERYTHING YOU GET THERE IS good.
first installment of where to eat in south jersey if you come to the clinic |

Don't let the exterier of this place fool you. Yes it is a busy Pizza and sandwich place but if you go into the door on the right you enter the "dining room" it is here that you will find some of the best Italian American food in the area. Prices are slightly above average but you will get a filling mean with no complaints. The older Italian gentleman with the moustache and accent is Brumo. He is usually in the kitchen or talking to the customers most of which he knows on a first name basis. Warm friendly home atmosphere
my recommendation is the seafood combination. clams, mussles, scallops, shrimp and lobster over a bed of linguini. it is really good $26.99 (or 25.99 I forget) If you don't like garlic I would not go to bruno's.
His pizza is very good. the sauce (or as the locals call it gravy) has slightly too much olive oil for my tastse but overall it is very good. Sandwiches are also good. |
