I will be missing SCARF by 2 days I am going to Vegas to attend Blackhat and Defcon security conferences this year, I'll be in vegas from July 29th to Aug 7th, I can try and cut the last day and arrive to LA at the night of the 6th, Any chance for a post SCARF minicon on the 7th??? It's very sad for me to miss SCARF but since my work is sending me to these conferences I can't just skip one of them

Gil, let us know when you're coming. I can't say for sure, but there might be a day after SCARF (the 7th) thing going on, like a brunch or whatever. It has been hinted at, but not discussed any length or detail yet. A mini-jam that day might be possible. Even if you came after the weekend is over, a post event mini-jam in the evening is possible during the week. We've done it before because forumites who had traveled from afar were in the area, we'll do it again!

Yup; we've done two jams in one week before. . . . it was a bit nuts, but this is Southern California, so we're used to that sort of thing. . . . .

Sorry you won't be able to make it, Jon. I hope your knee continues to improve. A couple of years back I worked with a fellow who had knee replacement surgery--it took him a few months to recover but you could see the improvement in his gait from week to week. Hang in there.

As for BARC...I hope we can do something this year.

That would be cool!

Definitely would be a fun event to have another Bay Area Ric Confluence. Keep us advised, as I'm sure several of us might enjoy Barc-ing up that tree.

Reading what JH said, if I appeared to hog the stage, I'm sorry, but if someone was playing a Petty song, and I happened to be within shot of the stage, they'd call me up to sing. At least that's what I remember, I was called up to sing two different versions of "Breakdown", plus "Listen to Her Heart" and backups on "I Need to Know".

It's up to Rich if he wants to have another "Jake and Friends" contingent, of course.

TO RICH: You saw Mick Jagger, would you like to see Elvis this year?

That jumpsuit needs a cape, Jake. And I'd recommend buying one of these and gettin' busy:

Would love to attend the 7th annual SCARF, but I'll be stuck here in Cleveland, Ohio, this August. Rich, will you please give me the full report when you get back?

Larry Davis said he's going to make it out from Georgia this year.

Our SCARF "out of town" guest list is growing!
