Well, I've selected a weekend and I hope it works for as many folks as possible. The weekend of April 13-15 is when we're going to go for it! Yes, it's tax weekend, but aren't they giving us a couple of extra days this year? 
It would be held at the Raleigh Music Academy in Raleigh, NC.
I was trying to think of a way to make it an extra special weekend for those who make the journey. So how about a Friday night concert with Doyle Dykes?! On April 13th, he will be doing a full concert for the RMA beginning at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $25 for the general public, but for any EB forum member who wants to come, I'll comp you the ticket. You just have to do two things for me. Notify me through the EB forum that you're coming and wear an EB t-shirt to the show and you're in for free! If you don't have an EB shirt, you've got time to get one. And don't tell the world about the free entry either, so we still sell tickets and have a way to pay for the concert, LOL. As many of you know, Doyle is an acoustic virtuoso of the highest order and you will NOT be disappointed in the show he puts on. I think it's just a great idea to have the EB gathering on the same weekend as Doyle's concert with us. He'll be signing autographs and meeting with everyone afterwards. He's a very gracious and nice guy.
On Saturday, we should plan to get together and not only have some jams, but have a chance to check out everybody's EB/MM's. Saturday's schedule is yet to be hammered out, unless BP decides to show up and hammer it out for us. But even if some of you can't make it to the Friday night show, come on out for the events on Saturday. It'll be a good ole time.
If you want to get me your names, I can make a list so we know about how many people to expect and guage the interest in making this happen. We want to make sure there are enough to want to come before folks book flights or hotels. So who wants to do it?!
