Going to try like hell to make this trip! For you guys who are married, have girlfriends (boyfriends), mistresses, whatever - you plan on bringing your sig. other? I'd like to go with my wife but not if it's a sausage fest! My wife is making the trip with me... gee the girlfriend is pissed I am not bringing her... 8) She doesn't plan on attending things like the get together (even though she is a singer and does love gear ( she cried once when I sold a power amp that we used for 10 years live together... actually thats the day I knew I would marry her... ) ) She is a very friendly and sociable person and would have no problem going out and socialising with anyones partner who made the trip and didn't want to be alone for the duration of the get together.... Would be great to meet you Justin cheers Wiz

How about we have a Skype session going as well, so that anybody who can do a local meetup can video chat with all of us that show up in Nashville?

My wife will more than likely come with me, so it won't be awkward for the girls to be there. She plays fiddle, sings and sometimes engineers for me, too.

@johnkenn, I talked to Joel Phillps about taking an RGO tour of the 3rd Power Amp facility. Sounds like they'd be happy to have us come by and check things out. Maybe we can start compiling some type of events list? For you guys not familiar with 3rd Power Amps check it out: www.3rdpower.com. The Dream Weaver is my dream amp, don't know how they do what they do.........

Here's an idea - just an idea...would we want to each pay like $25 to get a studio for a half day? I know I could get a great rate at Sound Emporium.

From their website: Studio A - 48 channel Neve VRP console with Flying Faders Studio B - 48 Channel API Legacy Plus with Uptown 2 automation. It’s loaded with 16-560’s, 32 550b’s, 32 212 Mic Pre’s, 8 225L comps, 2-205L direct modules and a 2500 stereo bus compressor on board. Studio Z - SoundCraft EFX8 - 8 Channel Mixer Not much to choose from really........

If at all possible, I'm going to attend. I might drive across, do the Space Center at Houston and Graceland on the way. Might have to spend a night at the Heartbreak Hotel. I hear it's down at the end of a lonely street . . .

Well, as things have gotten pretty well back to normal around here, and I can take my eyes of Rikki for a second or two... 8) I might be a touch guilty of being a tad overprotective 8) My thoughts have turned to coming to see you bunch of reprobates... 8) Its only a few months away, so we should probably start getting some concrete ish things together.... Here is my Itinerary... 22 Sep Arrive LA (planning to spend that night somewhere around LA, haven't decide yet, maybe Santa Monica?) 23 Sep Fender guitar Tour, then to Carlsbad and spending two nights with tonycamphd (mooching I think it the correct US term... 8) ) 25 Sep Red Eye Flight to Nashville arrive 5am 26/27 Sep Nashville 28 Sep Fly to Houston for 3 nights 1 Oct Drive Houston to Dallas stay 2 nights Sat 3 Oct Fly Dallas to Nashville Sun 4 Oct Get together with you lot Mon 5th Oct - Sun 11 Oct Nashville/Memphis/Blues Road 11 oct Fly Nash To LA 13 Oct LA to Oz. Its a little weird how things have worked out with flights, but thats a long story... 8) So anyone in those towns who wants to catch up give me a shout... Sound Emporium sounds like fun for the get together.. or do you want to go out have a meal and drinks sort of thing? Nice to suggest one of my songs, but I figured the full timers wouldn't want to work and really would want to stand around swapping stories.. but hey we can do both 8) Johnkenn I wouldnt mind having a chat on the phone (Skype? Facetime?) about doing a session at Sound Emporium whilst I am there... Can we get a roll call of who is coming on the Sun 4th October.. that might solidify what the best choice is. Also, if anyone wants to hang out, go check out guitar shops, take me to your favourite vegetarian food place .. he he.. then lets do it! Also, if you wanted to have a play, sit in with your band, sing on something of yours whatever.. .hit me up cheers Wiz

Wiz, I'm 30 minutes East of L.A. and a little over an hour from Tony's. Hopefully I'll have my studio back together by then. Lotta guitars, amps, mics and gear. Either way you could stop by or we could all just get together. Robert
