That's Labor Day weekend - big national holiday.  I imagine the shop will be closed.   If you make it to the Bay Area, give a call and I'll come get you.   We've moved since you were last in town, but not too far, and we still have a spare bedroom you are most welcome to use.  If Alembic were to open, I wouldn't mind driving up and saying howdy.

Bill, tgo

While the shop is closed on the weekends, I'll be glad to host a visit from you, Vince. I live only a few minutes away and will be glad to see you again! Sorry there won't be anyone else there but I can show you around the new digs and you can check out some new work.

Gosh you guys are so kind. I think i will find out more on the logistics when we get to the states. Also a few of the band members and their partners are planning a trip to Vegasfor 3 nights. I have been there a couple of times whilst on a tour some years back and my other half is not really excited about Vegas so we will mainly be doing our own thing. Looking at the schedule that is likely to be between the 28th and 31st August. So our journey will start from Palm Springs area. Mica and Bill i will give you a call when things are much clearer.  If you have changed your phone number Bill, can you drop me an email so i have it on my phone.
Thanks again.
Perfect example of why this is a great place to hang out on line.

That brings back some warm memories. The 122F we hit on Route 66 as much as the family welcome. Is it 5 years already?

(You won't be sorry you didn't do Vegas.)

My wife and I flew to Palm Springs from Oakland last year when we went to Joshua Tree National Monument, the Alaska Airlines flight was about an hour and fifteen minutes. We don't have a spare bedroom to offer but if you do end up staying with Bill in Oakland it would take about an hour and a half to drive up to Rohnert Park from here. Would be great if you can visit the Mothership while in the states and with three free days it seems doable. If you do come to Oakland you are more than welcome to try out my Series five-strings.

Message sent through the Alembic site with my current contact info.

We'll be around the 28-31st.   I have court on Monday morning, the 28th, but am free after that.   The new Alembic digs in Rohnert Park is less than an hour North of here mid-day when the traffic is light.  In addition, we could likely put together a mini gathering while you're here.   Wolf (Sonicus), Stephen, and Harry (Heironymous) are all close by.

Bill, go
