Sorry John, it would great if you could make it. Of course, you could always leave your key under the mat while you're out of the house. Just sayin'.  
 
I'm going to ask The Jam Station for June 8. IICR they have 4, or 8 hour blocks. I liked the room we had the last time. Spacious and a PA. I don't recall the price, but it seemed reasonable when others shared the cost. Load-in was easy (they have an elevator!).
 
It's not too late if anyone wants to host, but you'll need a serious amount of room if more than four guys show up with basses and gear.
 
Olie, would your band mates be interested in coming?

Hey guys, I made some calls. If you will, send a private email to me if you're interested and I'll forward more specific information. I'd like to keep some of this off line, if that's alright.

David, Christian, Olie, Wayne, Rusty and John: Last night I sent a group email to the addresses listed in your profiles; reply here if you did not receive it, or send an email with your preferred address to the address in my profile.
 
There's always room for more . . . wink wink nudge nudge
 
Let's make this happen!

Sir David T

5 weeks and counting.

I can't wait!

guess w'all just have to...

I'll be there, I'll be on vacation the week before

To the community at large:  TEXAS is definitely on in Dallas for Saturday, June 8.  We'll be at mi casa, and we've already got a great turn out - at least 7 Alembicians are committed, with possibly more.  Some seriously nice instruments in the group (looking forward to the photos).  All day Saturday, probably not a late night.  Some traveling will be in Friday night before and we'll hang out then as well.  
 
We'll make room if any others can make it in Friday night and need a place to stay.  If you can join us, let us know.  Shoot me or groovelines an email and we'll get you location and time details.  
 
It's been a couple of years since the last TEXAS round of awesomeness, and we want to make this the best one yet.  Come out, bring your toys and play with us!

John, I can't wait to experience my fist Alembic Gathering! Thanks so much for offering your home to host the event & to put Doc & I up for the night! This is going to be so much fun!

Happy to.  Can't speak for myself, but I can promise you've never met nicer guys than Wayne, Olie and Mike.

Clarification - I was speaking only of the Dallas group.  David and Christian also fit that characterization - nice guys you want to know!
 
In fact, seems to be the case with all Alembicians.  Maybe we can borrow the old Honda slogan - You meet the nicest people on an Alembic
