Not this year....The closest thing is the Jack/Erika Birthday bash in Dallas in Nov

oh man. Open house was a lot of fun. but it was a huge production!!! it was soooooo much fun but i can only imagine how much planning had to go into that event. coordinating the venues, getting in touch w/ the SLO tourist thing to get group hotel rates, getting artists' schedules to line up w/ the date, food, goodies etc.

id definately go again but i couldnt imagine it being possible to make that a yearly event.

Maybe a 10th Anniversary OH Reunion...find out who the die-hards are among us?

You got that right Phatty...I'm doing similar right now for School of Bass which is a much smaller event and it's a ton of work.

I do believe it was being touted as the "Once in a Lifetime Event" and it certainly was for me. There was just a tremendous amount of effort on EBMM and I look back and say, glad I was there cause I don't see it happening again. The closest would be the Bovinehost Birthday Bash in November.

If they're all new Music Man Basses, BP should be doing back flips with sheer joy!

There may never be another Open House, but I hope there is eventually.

Well i hope there is another open house and i know its alot of work but from the sounds of all the happy folks who went BP and the gang enjoyed it as well. And the staff at the Production facility had to field questions which they did very graciously ,Please someday i hope i too can tour the factory , Being in Nova Scotia i live 3 hours from Sabian and have done their tour and vic firth but geetar Manufactures yet ,maybe next year!(FINGERS CROSSED)

 

[jeffrey]

I don't think it's a matter of whether they enjoyed it or not, it's probably more of a cost/time thing.

Let's just say the EBOH wasn't cheap for BP by any stretch of the mind. What it cost him would probably buy someone a starter house.

.. and that's just the bar tab!

 

[jeffrey]

Probably!

That right there is a terrifying thought.

Loved the Open House and would be at the next one in a heartbeat...

Looking forward to dragging along my F*nder-playing guitarists knowing that they'd leave as complete EBMM converts!

Hell yeah, Id attend a 10 year!

The Open House was a BLAST! I can only hope it happens again, but that's most likely nothing more then a pipe-dream.

 

[tristan]

maybe I could be there for the 07'
