Come one and all!

This is the fastest I've ever seen a Confluence/Jam come together.

Rich...Please shoot me an email when you have a chance, I've been needing to chat with you about something.

Nice to hear from you, Jake !

===== ===== =====

Meantime, I just had to post another pic of Gareth's "Rig of Doom" from a prior BARC ..... its amazing Guaranteed to set off the seismic activity alarms in the vicinity of Bascom Avenue in San Jose

To get everyone in the mood, a few memories from the BARC scrap books ....

Some more BARC scrap book memories, to help get everyone in the mood ....

More BARC scrap book memories ......

A few more BARC memories over the last few years .....

Good times! Only a week til BARC 2015...

I promise to wear long pants this time.
But only if it isn't too hot and/or the venue has AC......

I always wore shorts on my SoCal trip...but then again, I'm much younger than most of you.

Then again,again,it's Southern Cal,where the temps are always expected to be higher. I was pretty surprised at how warm San Rafael was during our BARCs. I just thpught it would be 60 like it always seems to be in SFO. Also, a lot of places,including our hotels,didn't have AC.
Not that I'm complaining!
As an ex-Memphian,I lived in shorts about half the year.

Forecast is for ~85F on Sunday. I'm pretty sure the place is air conditioned, but it might get warm with all of us and our amps...

BARC ---- Bay Area Rickenbacker Confluence Sunday, July 19th


A friendly reminder to all BARCers to bring sufficient Guitar Stands for all your instruments !!

We're in the home stretch now...

I'll be bringing a case of bottled water. If anyone could bring a few sodas and/or chips/pretzels/etc. that would be great. I also remembered that an old friend of mine, Don, who is a great player used to have a 360CW-12. I emailed him and he plans to drop by for a while on his way to another event. He still has the CW and will be bring it along.

I have been absolutely pounded at work this past couple of weeks and haven't had time to put any song lists or sheets together. Does anyone out there have any from past gatherings? Can you make a couple of extra copies?

Along with Rich's reminder about stands, I'll add picks, capos, tuners, straps, and spare strings to the list of things to remember. Of course with the store across the parking lot you can always buy new accessories if needed. And make sure to take some time to check out the vintage guitar collection over there, too. Bring a drool rag.

See you on Sunday!

We are driving up tomorrow, Friday.

Hopefully, I don't get stopped by the Highway Patrol again, like happened on my way to the last BARC

I'm going to bring my Double Bound JetGlo's (V64-12 string and 370-WB six string), and maybe my 650 Atlantis, depending upon luggage space considerations. Should be a great time on Sunday !
