Here's the info again for everyone.

Okay guys, we have a venue and a date..all we need now is your presence and your RICKENBACKERS to show and tell.

What is it-- The Mid-Atlantic Rick-Fest '05

When: 5 November 2005,(officially) 10am to 6pm. If anyone wants a head-start to load in from 9am, I'll be there by then...

I look at it as a rare opportunity to see some VERY rare Rickenbacker instruments, some of which are one-of-a-kind. This fest could potentially break the 100+ instrument display mark.

In attendance (besides us) will be (hopefully) Kenny Howes, who will be nearby and will try to come over.

Also, Chris Clayton (Pick Of The Ricks) will hopefully be there all day.

Where-- The Hampton Inn and Conference Center, 1204 Berryville Ave., Winchester, Virginia 22601

http://www.hamptoninn.com/hi/winchester-north.com

We have blocked ten rooms at the hotel for those who wish to take advantage of staying on-site. If you don't get a room at Hampton Inn, there are many other lodgings in the area...no worries. Try to book a room soon if you choose to go that way!

Coffee and water are complimentary all day. Just so anyone may ask the question, Alcohol cannot be brought into the display room(s) per hotel rules.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE: IF you are bringing instruments, PLEASE bring as many stands as you can muster. For the safety of the instruments (and to make a great display) we ask that you dig up as many stands as you can, your Rickenbackers deserve a proper grand display.

If you have any questions, post here and I'll try to answer them as best as I can.

See YOU and YOUR RICKENBACKERS on 5 November!!!!

Rick, that sounds pretty exciting. Please make sure I don't remove the shoes. It's a problem for me. I end up doing something like this with them:
