I'd come to SR for this!   But, you guys all have to come to Chicago in 2019 for the 10 year Chicago Gathering Anniversary!

I'd be up for this in CA.  As with the international folks, I'd need a lot of advance notice to plan for this, BUT . . . I bet I could get a crew from OK and TX to rent a van and road trip it which would allow us to include a half dozen or more Alembicians and probably a dozen or more instruments. 

I'm in! So many people from around the world that I would love to meet!

Any more thoughts about this?   There is a new live music venue in Santa Rosa called Rock Star University that is a teaching/studio recording business along with "House of Rock" live music venue.  I have no affiliation with them, but I did talk to them about shooting a video for my tribute band a few months back.  The venue has a variety of shows ever few weeks.  Mostly 80's/90's hard rock with some blues, jazz or tribute, too.  The next shows are Winger, Foghat + Gamma, and a ZZ Top tribute band.

The Reason I'm bringing this venue up is 3 reasons:
- House of Rock is in Santa Rosa - 6 miles or 13 mins away from Alembic HQ
- they have a large stage, with backline amps and drums, video, pro-tools recording gear, and can either rent out the facility for a private event, or open the doors to a public event. 
- for an international Alembic gathering - this could be a good place to host the event, feature a few performers or special guests, have a benefit show, and record audio and video to share with the friends of Alembic.

I bet if you planned this the week before NAMM - like Sunday Jan 15 - you could get more people who might be able to add an Anaheim trip to NAMM 2017 to their travel itinerary too.

Just a thought in case someone else did not have a better idea.
