I know the first couple of albums by heart, or can at least fake my way through any of their early stuff.

Sounds like we are going to have some fun making "music" at this event!

This is happening the same day as ORAC in Toronto. Only Cuts Like Knife has RIC content as far as I know. Me I would vote for the Randy Bachman tune.

Don't kick me for asking this... Recognizing this is a Ric event, would anyone like me to bring one of my non-Rics? One or two of you had expressed interest in seeing/playing my Wal... *ducking*

I would think any guitar other then a faker would be welcome... I will be receiving a 1968 Ovation Tornado sometime in the next week or so, and I was debating bringing that along too...

I was planning on bringing my three RIC's and my 70's Hofner 500/1. Five guitars might be a bit much to carry that's all. At least we don't need to lug around amplifiers!

Just Bumping this discussion... So who else is coming?

And what are we playing?

Been away too long, for crying out loud. You guys are finally meeting in Canada, hurray!!! On the down side...I won't be able to make it on the 6th...bou-hou-hou! But you can be sure that I'll be watching for another one close enough though! I'm preparing for a tour in Afghanistan in july 2010 and I'm often away on exercises but I hope to be at one of the confluences before my tour! Cheers!

Still planning to be there, although I will drive in from YUL on Saturday morning instead of Friday. I'll be there in plenty of time. Looking for a room now for Saturday night...

Dean - great to hear you're still planning on making it! FYI - there's a decent Days Inn about a 10 minute drive from Coll Audio. Its at 2151 Kingston Rd - 416-261-8100 .

[bitzerguy]

Thanks Steve, I'll look into that. Close by sounds good.

Dave

If you are stuck I could grab you at Union station on the way in from Hamilton... I won't have much room in the car though with 7 guitars in tow! I will likely be heading in around noon...
