Skip, unfortunately, they usually won't let us in to start setting up till maybe 15 or 20 minutes ahead of the hour.... :( If people came at 11 - -they would want to charge us from 11 AM....

Paulie:

What's the latest attendance for Saturday update ? ... did Louis C. and Tom F. and Kenny H. and some of the Looking Good on the Calendar So Far and Maybe-Hopefuls categories confirm ??


Gary:
for Thursday night's Pre Jam practice, have we heard from Collin and Brian and Bob S. and some of the other guys ?

I can't promise anything just yet, but there's a slim chance that I might make an appearance at this event... :D
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Maybe they could dance like this during the surf set...might also be a song to jam on with two bassists. :)

This from the movie "Village of the Giants".

Last night's mini jam at Gary's was a good time...come to think of it the girls in the dance scene would have looked great dancing in either the pool, or the hot tub...especially whilst we were jamming on the surf numbers. :)
