I have a confession:
I kind of suck at jams, I don't know many (or almost any) songs by heart and although I am ok at improvisations I am always at my worst when surrounded by a pack of great players.

B.t.w - I can play drums if there would be an available drum set.
Oh, I purchased a 67 Fender reverb unit that I could bring along so even I will be bringing equipment

Busy day. Great you're coming Gil! I'm in and need to get a room at the Hampton. I plan on bringing a bass or five.

Are we talking anything on Sunday too? It will be just me as Irene will be coming back from San Diego then.

I'm getting pumped! I may even make it through the workweek!

Don't worry about the jam, we are going to have fun regardless.

Gil, do you have any dietary restrictions? Kosher, etc.

I too would like to say thanks. Very generous indeed.

Kind of you to ask,
I sometimes eat kosher, too

So I take it, Hawaiian pizza is good to go? Yum!!!

I so far have a headcount of seven. Looking good. I've PM'ed my info to those whom are attending. In figure on a 1 PM start time. As of now this will be in my living room although I will attemt to get the concert room at a local music store (one mile from the Hampton).

Well I expect some pictures. Something I was planning to do if I was there. And a report of events,
although I realize that some things that happen at GilFest, stay at GilFest.....

Nobody's bringing cameras!

Oh yeah, right!

Really? I just finished packing my camera backpack, taking only 3 lenses with me, all fast primes - first time I am abroad without any zoom lens... Very brave (and light).
I'll just leave it with my inlaws I guess

Canon EOS, IIRC? I can bring my 17-40/4L, 24-105/4L IS and 70-200/4L IS.

Maybe that is why you had a hard time getting the visa?

I've read the whole story and I'm very happy for everyone that this was able to work out. See Gil, you relaxed and didn't worry and it all worked out! You lot have fun and tell us how it went!

Alright, room at the Hampton reserved. "Everybody's working for the weekend..."
