It did not happen without photos Collin..............

A few folks brough cameras, so some fun shots should start appearing tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who attended, especially John and Cindalee Hall, and Hautewerk.

Thank you as well to
Brian Fitzpatrick from the RIC forum, and there for his first miniconsjams
Bob Schneider (new member from Long Beach, "Original 360"), also there for his first miniconn/jam-thanks for rehearsing, the cheat sheets/tabs, and the wine.
Collin Whitley (for sitting in on drums) and rehearsing
Dane and Pamela Wilder for driving the long haul from Newhall! Thanks for sitting in on drums Dane, and for letting me play the 8 string.
Dan Saifer, for rehearsing bringing the wine, playing, and helping with the gear and the sound.
Gary Clauson for helping get things going, the DVD, and helping with the gear
Joey and Diane Vasco for being there, playing, and helping with the gear
Kenny Howes-for the singing, playing, drumming, conducting, energy, and humor.
Rich Ferguson-for helping keep rehearsals organized, especially with the volume of chord charts and song lists, showing up early, staying until the end, some great playing, and help with the gear!
Robert, Rich's friend, for playing lots and lots of drums, and even singing some lead vocals.
Scott and Spencer Jehlik-for all the help, playing, and showing up; wish you could have stayed longer!
Vito Francone-thanks for all the great playing, musical suggestions, and coming to his first minicon/jam-he was fun to hang out with, and really impressed folks with his playing.

Thanks as well to everyone for contributing to the room, refreshment, and pizza expenses!

I'll publish a more complete Thank You list in the morning. If I've left anyone out, I apologize; I'm tired! It was a great time for all. We covered some new ground musically, and flubbed on some new ground musically , but the song list keeps growing, and everyone's getting more comfortable playing in a jamming situation and playing off the cuff, which is really cool. We should have a formidable, extensive, jamming song list by the time the next SCARF rolls around.
