Location: Boise, Idaho | I feel like a self appointed ambassador, but anyone want to get together June 27 or 28 at Keystone? That's the weekend before the 4th weekend. I'll be there for the Porsche convention, which doesn't start until Monday.
I'll drive down on Saturday, arriving sometime late afternoon. If anyone wants to host in Denver, I could try to drive over. I might squeeze a guitar in, but SWMBO might want to ride back, so I won't have much room.
You guys have every guitar I'd ever want to play anyway. |

Don't know if I have every guitar you would ever want to play......maybe at one time.....but now it is Bourgeois, Collings, Lowden, Taks, and Adamas.
If any of those will float your boat I am more than happy to share. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | We could do it at our place Saturday, June 27th. Sunday is out. I can set up a sound system in the courtyard. No need to keep up with anybody, Mark, if you're the loudest. We're no more than a long hour away from Keystone, may half that in a Porsche. |

| Ahh, Keystone. Only been there for a combined business-ski trip in the middle of winter, but it's a beautiful area.
Sounds like fun, wish I could be there. You guys have a blast. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'll start planning on being at the Professor's on the 27th. I may be driving down with a group, so I'll just drop off the luggage, say hello to SWMBO (she'll probably be flying down early) and head over.
Since I won't have any equipment to haul, it doesn't make much sense to meet me in Keystone when I could more easily come to you. I look forward to seeing you guys. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Mark, please feel free to bring SWMBO along. Also, I might be able to cover some of the holes left after taking into account Stephen's incredible gear inventory, albeit at a somewhat lower level on the custom/quality continuum. These OFC get-togethers are a lot of fun, regardless where they're held or whose playing host. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'll bring her if I can, but she hasn't expressed any interest in these in the past. She's usually pretty busy putting on the convention, too. If she decides to come, the deciding factor may be that I'll be driving her car.
Google says it's 800 miles and 12 hours to Keystone. Those are usually a little conservative for me. If I'm not driving in a group I might leave Friday night and pick up a few hours. |

Brads veranda is a great spot for a gathering. Should be fun. I put it on the calendar and hopefully nothing with my mom will come up that forces me to miss it. |

Location: Colorado | I would really like to join in on this one. I'll have to see what my coaching schedule is going to be like for that weekend first. I'll let you know as time gets closer. If I can make it I'll kick in some food and beer and bring my Adamas and humbly use my limited ability. |

I just did that trip the other way, from Dillon Co to Ptld. We made a lot better time then Mapquest said even with a loaded down civic, avg'd around 75. You could probably reduce that by 1/3 in a Porsche.
That altitude really got to me. I found myself gasping for air while trying to sleep. Opened the hotel window wide and it was about 20 outside. |
