It was a fun day, nice to see everyone.
Thanks Paulie for getting it organized
Special thanks to Steve for making that long drive and for the pizza!

+1 on that !!

I don't know about this "low key" stuff .... I am completely exhausted after jammin for 8 hours.
It was very nice for new Mini Con attendees, Steve and Tom to come ... and I hope they had a good time !
I will try an post some pics tomorrow ... too exhausted now. Got a great pic of Collin doing his Windmill on those Who numbers ! Thanks again, Paulie !

If you they do let me know; I almost feel like I need one after yesterday's marathon!

Good news is she was taking the pictures for Rich, using his camera, so we should see them.

Nice

Did that just for Jake.

Wow, I had a great time! Hopefully all my miscues and missed chords weren't too noticeable.

Thanks to all for the invite! It was nice to meet a bunch of forumites that I didn't meet at SCARF.

Drive home was okay, but some poor fellow had his van and trailer catch on fire going up the Grapevine, which added some time to the trip. I made it home around 1 am.

So if anyone is up Fresno way or heading to Yosemite, hit me up and I'll clear the garage for a mini-con.

Looking forward to the next one. Perhaps a set list for the next batch of songs for the mini con in advance would help us fumble fingers.

Thanks again, looking forward to another one!

Here's a start for the pictures I took. As always, I thank the folks who developed FastStone Photo Resizer for providing a super easy-to-use software for resizing a lot of pictures.

These bi-monthly Rickenjams are one of the things I'll miss most about being back in Kansas City...that and the awesome pizza at half time! Paul, love the way you accessorized Big Red with your tennis shoes! Joey, were you the only bass player for the day? Eight hours is a long time to hold down the bottom end. Hey Kenny..."That's What She Said!" Who else made the scene? More pictures!

Paul took the bass for a few songs to give me a break. Then Scott Jehlik arrived about 5PM. There should be pics in Rich's camera with them playing bass.
We'll miss you too Dane. Sorry you had to move away. Best of luck in Kansas City!

Then Scott Jehlik arrived about 5PM.

Ah, I must have missed you by a couple minutes, Scott!

Hope you had a great time.


Dane---you'll be missed as well, but that'll give a great reason to fly out! (well---maybe save it for the big SCARF event. )
