I'm guessing about 15 or 20 at this point, based on responses here and on facebook, minus guests. I haven't tried to pin it down exactly.

Here is a list of people who said they were interested, not counting spouses and guests:

Gary F
Me
Paul W
Steve F
Collin
Doug F
Paul A
Woody
Dan Saifer
Joey
Rich
Gareth
Robert G
John Ashfield
John H
Rick C
and maybe:
Kenny
Richard Bengston
Mike Snow

Pipe up here if I missed you and you'd like to come.

Cool..me! and NoM

Oops, sorry, George, of course you and the band will be there.

So that makes two drummers, at least, in attendance, and three if John Ashfield can bring his crew for a guest set. I heard Collin is pretty good with the skins, too.

Wow, this is going to be so groovy

I'm still planning on coming, even if I can't make it for the whole day...

Good, Harry! So let's add you and George to the list:

Gary F
Me
Paul W
Steve F
Collin
Doug F
Paul A
Woody
Dan Saifer
Joey
Rich
Gareth
Robert G
John Ashfield
John H
Rick C
George and NOM

Not bad for starters.

Don't forget Collin W. -- he has the big van !

Well.....for any of you SoCal guys who were counting on grabbing a ride in the Van (aka Mystery Machine..).....it is now officially D-E-A-D. My apologies!

Transmission shot and head gasket are toast. I'll be driving a sedan up now, if anybody wants to carpool.

kira-forgive me if i missed this-is there a particular hotel set up for this/convenient to the venue? thanks!

Depends on when it is...if it's sometime in August, I might make it. Especially if Woody brings his 1993/12...

EDIT: Saw it's July 24. Hmm...I might have to check with my mom about some stuff. Put me down as a "maybe".

You forgot Refugee!

To Woody, you might want to do a 'google' search of hotels/motels in the North Bay Area. The further you get away from San Francisco, the less expensive. Maybe try Petaluma or Santa Rosa, or anything along the 101 corridor from San Rafael north. I'm just under an hour from San Rafael ( depending on traffic ). Hope it works out for you

Kira asked if my band could do a mini set, and the guys are up for it! This will be a lot of fun!

What are we doing for gear?
I'll bring my '65 deluxe reissue, it's a bit beaten up but it sounds good...

Is someone bringing a drumset? Bass amp? We used to rehearse at music spectrum so I know they have a PA and John who runs the place is a cool guy...

I'm bringing my '63 Vibroverb re-issue. It's only 35 tube watts with two Oxford tens, but it's LOUD
My Fender Concert head and Marshall cabinet is bulky, and at 60 watts, it will split ear-drums..
I do hope someone has a Janglebox there, I'd love to see how my 360/12V64 sounds through one

and of course my 360/12V64 and 355JL

( which reminds me, I better re-string them soon...
