The rumblings have started.  Perhaps later half of June?  Stay tuned for more.
 
Bill, tgo

Preferably June 27-28 for me. Definitely NOT 20-21 - I'll be working my butt off that weekend. And I really want to go because I want to bring my Stanley Clarke 5-string. Plus, now I live like 5-10 minutes away from the site!

Sorry, man, those rumblings were mine.  I'll turn the volume down.
 
I'm probably in.  Finalize a date so I can put it on my calendar.

I confess that I rumbled as well

Put me down for the 5th annual Bill. Big birthday requires a big trip I think;-)

I think I'm OK for the 27th-28th as well. We'll be doing the Relay for Life on the 20th.
 
Ken (TEO)

Can I rumble too? I've never been before, but sure would like to attend.

I spoke to my friend Will (whose family owns the ranch in Canyon where we've previously held the gatherings) and it looks like we are a go for Saturday, June 27th, for the 3rd annual Northern California Alembic Gathering.  Mark the date on your calendars.
 
Bill, tgo

Sorry Bill, I'm not going to make it. Wedding anniversaries are sacrosanct; or so I've been told a couple of dozen times ;-)

Graeme:
 
Bring her along.  Several people have shown up with Senior Management in tow.  All are welcome - the more the merrier!  I'm sure traveling halfway across the world to hang out with a bunch of wood and electronics junkies is her dream idea of an anniversary celebration!  (Written by a man whose own wife will be sitting at home, 5 minutes away.  lol)
 
Bill, tgo

How many people are coming to this West Coast shindig?

I'm in for this one, unless a big old lucrative gig materializes.

Yay Kent! Maybe we should carpool?

Sounds like a plan to me!  Will the next generation of Alembic be attending also?

Jonathan:
 
I'm not sure of the exact number, but I'd estimate we have had at least 20 each year.  Thinking of venturing across the Rockies?
