No problems, Jeff. We'll raise a glass, bottle or can in your honour. Perhaps all three!

We sure should-my math skills aren't my finest assets but by my calculations, this Sept. 13 will be one of the big birthdays in a fella's life.

Thought there was an off-chance we might just be one day apart in our ages.

I can throw rocks at Novotel from my front yard, so I can probably give Howard & Dean a lift to Scarberia, as long as they don't bring too many guitars. Where is this place, approximately and which night?
Too bad you guys won't be in town on Sept 8th, my band is playing that night.

If Howard is coming in around 6pm on the 11th, it might be a bit late to have the event that night. As I said, Craig would prefer either the Monday or Tuesday, so perhaps Tuesday would be the best night, although Wednesday night might be a possibility. Once we get a night settled, I'll post details of where and when.
When do you leave TO Howard?

Hmmm, my post from last night didn't make it. Must have pressed the wrong button.

Howard's flight is scheduled for 5:45 arrival, allowing for late arrival, bag retrieval, customs, traffic, we're likely around 8pm to the hotel. I'll be there earlier in the day around 1pm to check us in and get my bearings.

Howard's train leaves for Buffalo at 8AM on the 14th (Thursday).

Tuesday sounds best.

Do I want to hear a Lemmy? Are you kidding? Never thought I'd be able to see one live and in person let alone hear one! I'll be bringing two FGs, my 350V63 and my 660/12 for sure.

Howard, we better be careful if we work on any songs together at the hotel. Greg is close enough to throw rocks!!

This is going to be a blast guys!

Thanks for the info Dean! If no one has any objections, let's make the evening of Tuesday Sept. 12 the official date. Details to follow...

Greg - where is your band playing?

ozover50 · Post by **ozover50** » Fri Jul 28, 2006 10:11 am

Shouldn't be any customs jazz, Dean. I'll be flying in from BC, so that would already have happened in Vancouver 11 days beforehand.

I'm happy with any night, guys. I'll probably be bringing only my 350v63. The one or two others will mean excess baggage.

I'll make sure I pack some rocks.....

Clinton's (Bloor & Clinton St, near Christie subway). It's not finalized yet, but it should be happening. www.skaface.ca for details.
I'm looking forward to seeing lots of cool guitars. All I have is my plain old 330/6, but at least it's BT to make it a little bit different.
I can fit 3 guys & 4 guitars in the car, no problems.

Howard: right! In from BC will not entail customs. So that reduces airport time by an hour. Packing rocks will not impress the baggage guys!

I wonder if we can get our hands on one of those neat Rickenbacker banners that apear in the Aussie confluence pics? Maybe you could keep your eyes peeled for one when you are at the plant...

Greg: I'll have my Honda Accord with me, if space were to be an issue.

The Rick banners are bogus, Dean. Darren Trott managed to get his by using BIN on ebay before it was pulled by RIC. Don't see them any more...... would be good though!
