Thanks Mike! I think having it at Guitar Resurrection is a great idea, & I'm sure they would be happy to host us! What better way to get a bunch of potential Alembic customers in the store than inviting a bunch of Alembic owners!

We're down that way at least once in the Summer visiting family in Round Rock, so it's an easy suggestion for me to entertain. On the other hand it's almost doubles the distance David needs to drive. And then there's the matter of getting the other guys motivated to drive on down. Road Trip!' is probably a barely audible echo of days gone bye. There isn't much in the way of eats (or anything else) in the general area of GR. Seemingly, we have no reservations about making YOU drive up from Houston.
 
Wayne, John? Wherya'at? That's Texanese for Whutchathinkin?

Where's this GR place?  I'm in Arkansas.  I could do a Dallas gathering possibly, but Houston's probably out of my reasonable travelsphere...
 
Hey Rusty if it works out, we'll have a collegiate cocobolo SCSD duel.

Guitar Resurrection is in North Austin. Since Larry Morgan Music Co closed, GR is the only official Alembic dealer that I know of in Texas. It's a small, out of the way boutique. A little more than 3 hours drive from Dallas.

Hey, I drove a 16' U Haul from Pasadena, TX all the way to LA, then rented a car & drove to Santa Rosa to tour the Mothership (OK, so there was a little matter of moving my son to Hollywood along the way, but I digress!), so I can certainly drive to Dallas or Austin or wherever to bond with my Texas Alembic brothers & sisters! I don't mind a road trip & I'll try to recruit some Houston Alembicans to come with me!

Will, I'm not sure if the cosmos can handle 2 of the most beautiful SCSD's ever created in the same room, but it's worth the risk! Austin is 813 miles from Hot Springs, & 193 miles from Dallas, so you are 8 hours from Austin & 4.5 hours from Dallas.

Two Stanley Shorties in one location is definitely worth the risk.

 

What would be even more cool would be if Stanley Clarke or jimmy j just turned up at one of the gatherings.

That WOULD be cool Jazzyvee! I would love to have a picture of them playing my bass!

BUMP...ok guys lets start throwing out some idea's when, where, how long, (will Mica finally come to Texas, maybe Bill..., Christian I KNOW is missing the Lone Star State, John could Judge the most unique Alembic and Keavin's got kin folk down here...) But seriously let's get der ball rolling. I could use some spirit lifting and good friends and good times are just the ticket.

I like Mike's idea of having it at Guitar Resurrection in Austin, but I will go anywhere we decide to have it!

Dallas for me

Well we've got 1 vote for Austin 1 vote for Dallas. Dallas works best for me so I guess thats 2 vote for Dallas. Anybody else?
