Here I am covered in rock salt, Dammit!, but my oldest son turns 22 that weekend. So, in honor of the Williams, the knuckleheads, BP, the EBMM gang, we will be having a rum/tequila fest in Gainesville Fl.
Please post pics of your weekend, I can use them to wipe this damn salt off me.

Yeah, baby! So, I arrive at DFW around 5pm on the 3rd. Do I go to the Hyatt bar or head to the restaurant?
 
If anyone needs a bass player for blues, Hendrix, or sonic freakout jams, I'm your man for the jam on Friday.

I AM NOT AFRAID.


This is going to be sweet. My last big adventure before I close on my first house.
 
I'm landing shortly after 10am. I am thinking about heading into the city proper to perhaps take a tour (I imagine there is a JFK tour of some variety) and maybe check out the Aquarium to see the aquares, time permitting, of course.

Oh, and I plan to drink my volume in tequila. Who's doing shots with me until things both start and stop spinning?
 
Man, this is going to be the BOMB...................looking forward to seeing you guys again and meeting some of you for the first time.
 
I forget what time my flight arrives.. somewhere around 4pm-ish. Regardless, I'll find my way to that Hyatt bar! I hope the timing works out that I can have a drink with BP and Lucious.

Ahh, yes... can't wait to try some Texas BBQ and stun the lovely Erika with my 'realness'.

Can't wait to hang with many of the knuckleheads again.. are there any songs chosen for the jam that we could learn, just in case there's an opening on the stage? Improv is cool, too.

I'm hoping someone will have some guitars available hanging around at the Harvey Suites, too. I don't want to risk flying one of my babies down there, and I'm fresh out of Ibanez-es. :p

Count me in... but the last time the room didn't stop spinning until I touched down in Cincy... flying with a hangover is not good:o

Jack, how about a song sign up list sticky, a la Open House??? Got something in mind Steve??? Count me in:D
 
Well, I don't want to put anyone through what we went through last time trying to make a set list... (thanks for all that work, Tommy!)

I think if someone wants to throw out a song title or two, we could learn them and play along if the opportunity presents itself.
