I'm in! Somehow I've managed to keep that day free - no easy feat!
 
I was planning on bringing my usual amp setup (Glockenklang Soul Head, Epifani 2X10 & SF-2).
 
I am so looking forward to this! Thanks Bill!

O.K. folks, T minus eleven days and counting and we need to get a head count.  If everyone who is planning to attend would kindly email Mica it would be greatly appreciated.  In addition, all who give Mica the heads up will get access to the super double secret page about this event! Suitable for printing out and wrapping fish!!!!  Be the first one on your block!  Don't let this opportunity slip through your fingers!  You only live once (or more)! Hi ho Silver, away!!!!
 
Bill, tgo

Bill I have some Plans , but I am trying to see if I can switch some things around, but I will not know if I can make it for sure until the 22 which is on a monday (my manager comes back from Europe that day) and I have some work to do 25th thru 29th unless I can get him to switch things around, which I hope he can because I really want to come to this one. Anyway I will keep you posted Peace brother John alias the Raven..hmmm might have to make this my new user name lol!

Hey, Gang!  I just mailed in my next to last payment to the dealer I've been working with and should make my final payment next week so I can take delivery of my Alembic from the factory. I'd like to bring her and meet/jam with you!
-Sam (Sam's custom 5-string bass in the FTC thread)

Beautiful bass Sam!

Thanks, Dave.  I've tried to be cool during most of her gestation but seeing these latest pics has gotten me really excited and anxious.  I'm not taking my pending ownership lightly and I'm deeply humbled by the master work and artistry of Mica and the rest of the crew.  Between delivery and next Saturday I'm going to have to practice like a maniac to become acclimated to her so I don't completely embarrass myself in front of you guys!

Don't worry about embarassing yourself. If I can do it, anyone can! Look forward to meeting both of you.
 
Later...

Sorry brother Bill and others, I won't be able to make this one, I have got to produce a session for an inspiring young lady with a great voice from Vancouver. Play some Dead tunes for me while I stay out of this heat  in a Shade of Gray..Peace John

Sorry we won't see you this time, John. If there's anyone interested in coming to the Northern California Gathering that hasn't received an email from me already, send me an email so I can keep you updated.

Just a few more days now!  Other than Dr. Jon, are there any other guitar players planning to attend?  Do you need me to bring an amp for you?
 
John:  Sorry you can't make it.  I think we may be able to rustle up a Dead tune or two for you, though.  lol
 
Bill, tgo

I can't wait!  
 
Flight case...check.
Insurance...check.
Hotel...check.
 
See you guys soon.  
 
Bill, any chance of my bumming a ride from the Four Points in Emeryville? I'll be the one standing on the corner looking like a lost roadie.
 
Later,
 
Jonathan

Jonathan:
 
No problemo.  Email sent.
 
Bill, tgo

While you're at it Bill can you pick me up at the airport Friday night? I'll be arriving at DFW about 7 pm?
