Confluence history - is someone keeping track?

Thanks to the posting on the first confluence, I have now started wondering about whether "we" should be documenting the confluences, no matter where they are held or how many are in attendence.

OK, Gary. Melbourne, Australia - Sunday, October 30, 2005. Three attendees, 3 basses, 14 guitars.

There was another smaller one earlier in the year. Same place, Sunday, April 3. Two attendees, 4 guitars.

My, how things have changed......

May 14-16 2005, Columbus, Ohio. 31 instruments, mostly basses, mostly brought by Ted Staberow! Attendance varied from around 10-13 fine lovers of all things RIC.

Gary, do you recall the number of people attending and the instrument count?

The Mid Atlantic Rick-Fest was held on 5 November 2005 in Winchester, Virginia. We had approx. 20 people in attendance and by my count 97 instruments, although others have said as many as 110 were there. A lot of fun and a chance to meet many here on the Forum.

John; you have to count the 4080's as two.

We had a micro confluence at my house back in November 2005. Paul Boyer, Jeff Thomas, Mike Guiterrez, Mr. X, and I played basses, talked Ricks, ate pizza, and drank beer.
