Olie:
 
You're absolutely right, the last game was a fluke.  In fact the last 6 games between these teams have been flukes as the Warriors have won them all.  Hey, we're only an 8 seed.  An 8 seed has never beaten a 1 seed in a 7 game series.  Of course it was pretty funny that Johnson, with his 67 win team, felt it necessary to completely change his starting line up and adjust to the Warriors game.  Nellie's one smart dude.  Of course, bringing it back to this thread, the denizens of Chicago (read Jordanville) are chuckling at both of us.  It's gonna be a fun series - series? ahh!!  another Alembic connection!   LOL
 
Bill, tgo

I'd come to either Chicago or St. Louis if the date worked out.
Jim

I'm in Milwaukee - a trip to Chicago isn't a difficult thing for me. . .

I'm about 200 miles south, but might be able to make the trip if I don't have a gig or other commitment(s).  It would be fun.
 
John

I'm in Aurora (yes Mike, just moved there!).  Would love to jam with everyone.

Aurora?  Home of Stan Makita donuts?  Party on. Excellent!
 
Bill, tgo

And home to the White Castle on Rt 31 and Indian Trail Rd. I haven't had a Slider in years.  
 
Keith

I'm in Waukegan illinois 40 minutes north of chicago...set a place & time i'll show up with my Very Old alembic.

Keavin, maybe you could make it to the next NC gathering with it too - LOL. I would love to see that bass!  
Hmmm, a nationwide Alembic Gatherings Tour!

Can I come even if I only have a guitar?  Actually I have two...
 
I live in town and might be able to suggest a place;  are there any ground rules?
 
!

We seem to be bogged down a bit, several interested members but no space /date suggested yet. So keep on firing ideas and maybe we can pull it together.
Mike

Okay then I am going to attempt to narrow the options a bit to give you folks an easier target to visualize.   As a guitar player I am used to giving orders!  I suggest three time frames, the first being roughly eight weeks from now to allow for planning:
 
1.  Mid December, which could be arranged around/during family shopping trips.
 
2.  Mid January, when Xmas money or seasonal self-indulgence might prompt the display of some new loot.
 
3.  Early February, when we will all be training to get in shape for the 2008 Alembic-Speedo calendar shoot.
 
As far as locations, I suggest a place that can give us a private room for security reasons with easy load-in and good access to the interstates so that the country-mice among us can skeeeedaddle at the end of the day.
 
Comments, emotions, or shall I continue to pretend I know what I am doing...?
.

If training for the 2008 Speedo calendar doesn't start until February, thanks for the warning.

Soooo, David.
 
Just took a glimpse at your profile. So which one are you in the picture
 
;-)

I'm not positive but it looks like the David Keith on the right and the Steve Morse on the left.
