Bucky,
 
Thanks, in advance, for your support.  It's Alembicians like you that will make this event successful.  I will definitely keep you posted as to the progress of my search for the ideal venue.  I really am encouraged to make this happen for all of our sake.  Mr. Stanley Clarke himself ackowledged and recognized my name after I introduced myself to him just Friday night.  
 
I like the idea of putting a website together specifically for it.  I will forward some preliminary information I am working on as soon as I get more items taken care of.  Awesome!!!!
 
Peace,
Darrell

and of course you can count on me to help in anyway I can. Including hosting the website on my Server gratis. That's GREAT you got a prelim confirmation from SC!! You know it was seeing him in '73 with the original RTF that inspired me to find an Alembic bass. I'd love to meet him and tell him how great I think he is and what an influence he had on me as a rhythmic bassist. And Darrell. . PLEASE keep me in The Loop. . I am SO into this convention idea I just TOLD. . yes, I said told my wife that when it happens I AM THERE!!!  She heard that sound in my voice that said no use even arguing on this one.  Can't wait Guys!  
 
Bucky aka Jeff

very impressive site buck!

Bucky,  
 
That is a well organized website!  The history of your music is also well tracked.  That makes it really cool.  You're obviously a professional.

Darrell and SN12:
 
Thanks guys! I try. . I think I can build something really cool for our convention too. For one thing I'm sure we'll have no problem getting great images of Alembics to use. Some of our members have had absolutely gorgeous shots done of their axes and I'll bet Mica and Alembic would contribute too. You know we should think about somehow getting Mica or Susan or both to our convention. That would be awesome. I know Susan loves to talk about Alembic and the good ol Days as I have had a conversation with her by phone that lasted 45 minutes and was SO COOL. . she's very giving and has some GREAT stories to share. We could have either or BOTH as guest speakers. My guess is that Ron would avoid speaking -  but heck, we could ask him to! Nothing ventured nothing gained I always say.  Wouldn't that be so cool. . to have all the Wickershams speak? I remember thinking when I was talking to Susan on the phone WOW. . I'm talking to the Mom of my bass!!  
 

We really got to give props to susan, you know the body shapes were her idea in the beginning of alembic.

Bucky,
 
I agree.  It never hurts to ask.  It sure would be nice to have one of the founders show up.  I'm just going to build it and hope they come.
 
Peace,
Darrell

I LOVE the movie Field of Dreams. .

here's another custom made one with a mustache tailpiece http://www.metmuseum.org/Works_Of_Art/viewOne.asp?dep=18&viewMode=0&item=1980.544

WOW!! THAT IS ONE INCREDIBLE GUITAR!! Who owns it?

that's a former alembic employee,did you zoom in on the features!;its obvious that every one that once worked @ alembic takes something with them,but that's an alembic all the way!

LOL! Yeah. . just imagine the basses and guitars made my employees that we *haven't* seen . . . the mind boggles at the thought!

p.s. Yeah I was all over that image with my mouse pointer. GREAT web layout too. I think that's a Java Applet that's being used to make it possible to zoom in on the detail. . WOW. . wonderful!
