I will bring hanging tags so people can tag their guitars if they wish.
I'll also bring name badges. If I have the spare time, I will pre-print the ones with names of people that I know are coming.

Everyone please bring guitar stands for the guitars/basses you will display.

OK. Thanks Joey.

Since this is open the the public (if I understand correctly), will there be a general hands off policy?

The policy will be not to handle instruments without asking the owner. There will also be security at the front and rear exits.

Since an incident at the 75th anniversary confluence, my personal policy has been, "If you don't not know the owner of the these instruments, do not handle without permission!"

Really? You bringing Brian out?

Open to the public???

I will be bringing 5 or 6 instruments, and one large smelly gorilla.

Well, if the gorilla's not potty trained, make sure to bring a pooper scooper as well!

Okay, along with stands for guitars, bring cages for any wild animals!

Shovel has been procured. We're gonna chain him at the front door.

He sings like Frankie Valli, guys, so please include him in the jam sessions.

He's my secret weapon. He lives in my shop and I've been training him in the finer points of luthiery.

He's coming along in his studies pretty well. After about two years, I gave him his own jumbo flat-top to build:

I'll brush up on some Four Seasons bass lines.

Cages for the large smelly general public?

Now you're getting my drift, Jerry...
