Umm,I'm N.Y. born and raised, so I don't know a lot about these things, but doesn't the bull in the buckin' contest buck because there is a strap squeezing his balls?  
 
NOT FUN!!!!
 
Bill, tgo

Sir David - it won't be not so hot until Thanksgiving!!  :-)
 
All y'all know I'm in.
 
A thought:  Reserve the Jam Station for a few hours for playing and then move to a nearby eatery/drinkery for the not-playing part.....There's a little Cajun place not too far away that has a moderate sized back room that I might be able to reserve.
 
I can probably arm-twist a couple of 6-stringers into joining us as well.  Of course, would we really need additional highs if the Esquire joins us from CA.......
 
C-Ya.......wayne

Oh I don't know, I imagine Bill would be bringing plenty of highs of his own.
 
OO

Paul, Cheesheads are always welcome! Now I don't know if we'll have a 4x21 for you to play with but we usually have some good rigs there. Waynes Bag-End equipped rig is REALLY good!
 
Bill, my dad was born in Buffalo NY and rasied just a few miles south in Ridgeway PA. So I have some Yankee roots, but shhhhhhh..... don't say it TOO loud.  
 
 
OO

Yankee roots? My mom spent her early years in NY before moving to Mass (Mathuen, Lawrence, Andover). Much to her family's befuddlement she married an Okie. There's been a constant Yankee vs Okie fued since then, mostly perpetuated by my dad. A few years ago one of his great aunts traced the family history. Turns out he has Yankee roots that are deeper than my mom's. Irony at it's finest.
 
Paul, hey man, everyone is welcome.

Does that make you a Yokie!  
 
Sorry just Yoking!
 
OO

My first two plus years as an air breather were at Ft Bragg. If that counts for anything I'm a Tarheel.  
 
Mostly, I'm just confused.

Hmmm, I could possibly make this one....I'm a five hour drive from Dallas, but my brother in law lives there, and he needs to be visited....

I agree Will, come see the outlaws ...er uh... I men inlaws! Hot Springs ain't dat fer! We ride our MC's up there all the time.
 
OO

OO, next time your raisin' hayle through HS in a hawg rally or whatnot, shoot me an email beforehands and we'll have ye over for some corn squeezin's and Olympic playin'.

You got it brother!
 We don't do the hog rallies much anymore we do get up that way! Usually around Mena or Crystal Springs is were we stay.  
 
OO

You guys talk funny . . . .
ain't dat fer corn squeezin's
 
But I shore due no watt an Olympic is!
 
 
:-D

A little bump for the thread. So far I see David, oops er uh I mean SIR David, Wayne, Mike and myself and maybe a few out of towners. Anybody else getting interested, John T, Jorge, Michael...?
 
How does September sound to everyone?
 
OO

Sometime in September sounds great, it would be neet if someone from the Mothership could make it to Dallas (hint hint) but at very least, we must beat the number of Alembic's that the Chicago had, and this may be tough.
 
Sir David

I'm in.  If I know the date early enough the better.  That way I would make sure I am off.  
 
I would love to bring my wife and son too.   They wanted to go last time, but our schedules were hectic.
