Ted Staberow packed 14 into his Honda CR-V last year. Depends on the car, eh?

J Dog, I don't know what you're driving, but I shot this pic at the Arlington Show.

That's about it, Greg...... plus keyboards, spare t-shirts, etc.

Oh.... and a big bag of ice!! Image

Actually, at our mini confluence last year I think I managed 9 Ricks, a Strat, an acoustic and a Vox AC30...... down to the axles!!

Okay, so I should be fine then. I'm going to beautiful southern Florida (almost as awesome as west central Florida) to hang with Cabibi, quaff some spirits, eat some good food, play some Ricks, and play at a couple churches down there.

- Thanks everybody!

Ah, so you'd be the one who Tony will try his whiskey on? Image

Don't forget: if Jason's face gets turquoise & he feels a bit uneasy, you'd better not try it yourself...

As long as he doesn't turn DCM, I think we'll be ok!

Time to prepare....chill the beer, set up the amps, copy the music, sneak in some practice, dig the CS out of mothballs, get some ice, chips, dip....busy....busy....busy!

A splendid time is guaranteed for all!

But Tony, what the heck is the CS doing in mothballs?!

I know, I know....

I "retired" her in 2000. I played her twice a week, every week for 5 years with the ORIGINAL set of strings. I installed a set of Roto's back in 2000 and I THINK I've played her out twice since. Strictly used at home only.

There was this guitar player in church that had a habit of smacking my bass with his acoustic. My Alembic took about a dozen shots before I lost it. No way was I going to subject my CS to that!

Jdog will be the ONLY other player to lay hands on her...I'll get lots of pictures.
