Couldn't Wait for the Next Mini Con --- Jam at Gary's

Post by 8mileshigher »

The story is that since Skip's wife was doing some visiting with relatives ---- that sounded like a good enough reason to see if anyone was itchin for a little jam. :D 8) Within an hour or two of an e-mail circulating, several enthusiasts who couldn't wait for the next Mini Con were "enlisted" and we had a nice Saturday afternoon (June 26th) over at Gary's music studio with snacks and beverages and some of Gary's special chili.

Since it wasn't an "offical" Mini Con, several Jammers decided to bring some of their other non-Rickenbackers too. Here's some pics of today's Micro Mini Con jam :) .....

There's one good thing about a Micro Mini Con at Gary's. No need to transport any of your Rics. :mrgreen:

Looks like fun was had by all!

Rich, thanks for posting these posting and thanks to Gary for hosting the jam.
I wish I could have gotten there sooner than I did.
