Yes, sir! I've been staying between Corolla and Duck every summer since 1997, year number 10. And (to get back on track) my favorite pass time is to play my guitar on the deck overlooking the waves! However, it is usually my cheaper acoustic rather than one of my nice Ricks because of the wear and tear of the car trunk and the HUMIDITY.

Just make the time to play guitar!

I'm going to be there, I have some pals in the area so I'll probably stay with friends though.

This is exciting! It'll be really cool to see where my basses and guitars came from.

John, I'm very glad that another Franciscan will be there!

Any others from the Bay Area?

Just so I don't make a complete mug of myself - is this an invite only event, or open house if you have a rick s/n(!) or is thre a mix of invite/non-invite events? Would love to come but it's a long way if the bouncers are going to throw me out!
enough, already.

The events that we know about here are open to all Rickenfans, I think.... JH has alluded to the fact that there will also be an invitation-only portion to the event that is as of yet unannounced.

Phil, I would personally pick you up at the airport (LAX presumably) and drive you over, as well as anyone else coming from the UK.

Graham and I have already made basic plans. Why don't you join him and I'll pick you both up at the same time?

I'll be at the Confluence hotel Thurs. Afternoon (hoping to do a bit of swimming). I can shuttle folks from OC Airport, though my trunk will fit about 5 guitars, my backseat about the same, so it might be one at a time...
BTW, there's a blurb about the "Event" on Kenny Howes' myspace.
