Thanks for the heads-up, Ben!

As for the 100th, I hope to make it, but I'll be 79! Yikes!

Has this officially been announced yet? I do not recall seeing it at the RIC website yet (that's not to say it didn't just pass me by - which is quite possible).

I absolutely LOVE the idea of having the factory tour on Friday or Saturday. However, a few questions: Will there be a limit to the capacity of attendees? For example, I live about 20 miles away and would love to come Friday and Saturday, but I won't need to stay at the Doubletree (although my wife might like to get away!). Also, will there be an age limit for attendees? Some of my kids might like to go, but I'm sure that many people would not like children around their prized possessions.

Regardless, THANKS GUYS, for putting this one! Looks to be a week(end) to remember!

Ben - don't say that! I have to be back at work for Monday morning and won't be able to stick around for Sunday night! Is there a Saturday night function still in the works?

Me too, Doc! The thought of me wandering amongst priceless guitars with a Zimmer frame and a nurse is a bit of a concern........

You'll be OK, though!

I'd like to believe that, Aitch!

Brad, I can't speak for the company, but last year when the Friday attendees of the SoCal Confluence went on a tour of the factory, an attendee's 13-year old daughter was allowed to join us.

Alisha, I'm glad you are still able to make it.

Chris, I have my fingers crossed that the store move can be rescheduled. I will be disappointed not to meet you if you end up being unable to come. Perhaps you can make it to the Australian confluence in November instead?

Way to stick it to the man, Alisha!

Does anyone bring any drums to these things? I figure we are covered for guitar players and bassists in case a jam busts out...but I can play drums pretty well in case we need one.

Great news, Alisha!

That is great news Alisha. I am just finishing a program that sounds similar to what you were contemplating. The good news for me is that it ends in July, and since it lasted a year, I get to use some vacation in August...guess where part of it will be?

I am a pretty new RIC owner and addict...a FG 360 at home and a 360/12v63 and AFG 4003 on order. I can't wait to get to CA (already made my reservations) and meet so many of you whose posts I have been reading, not to mention tour the factory.

Anyone have any idea why this hasn't yet been announced on the RIC website?
