Jack

You must be a phrophet....This is probably going to be a once in a lifetime. the effort and cost of bringing two parties four meals all of the talent for 111 people doesnt add up....If the glove dont fit acquit!
I am a man of my word and am looking forward to this bash baby

I am a man of my word and am looking forward to this bash baby

I know that you are, I surely do. I have to admit that at first I didn't really consider what you were doing for us. I have since reconsidered.

Until the reality of this thing hit me, I hadn't thought about what was coming out of your pocket and what you were getting in return. You may not look at it that way, but I do, and everyone involved should think about it for just a minute or so.

I'm sure you're going to have fun, but you should ask me sometime what it means to us, the regular "lunch pail" musicians who are taking part in this event. I'm not sure I am the most eloquent spokesman for the forumites...wait, I am entirely sure that I'm not, come to think of it.

It's going to be one hell of a good time, with the most unlikely cast of characters ever assembled. I mean, forget, if you can, Tony Levin, Dave LaRue and the unbelievable artist roster for just one second and imagine that Jon Smith and I will be together for the first time! What's that worth?

I make big funny and all that, but serious bidness, Sterling - you already know this from our phone talks - this is an amazing thing you are doing for this forum, and that's really what it comes down to - you are throwing us maybe the biggest bone ever.

I just wanted to say, and I am all Keteled up and just got off the phone with Steve Barr...thanks. I owe you thanks for so many things, but this is big.

You know me, I'm not given to butt-kissing just for giggles, but hot damn, sir - if I haven't told you before and if I never mention it again, this is maybe the coolest thing ever.

Now, I am drunk and I must go to bed and I will review and delete this if necessary.

But Sterling? Thank you.

Jack

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Has anyone answered the "Are actual "shoes" required?" question yet??

This could be a deal beraker.

Was it good for you or were you faking again?

I totally agree with you jack this will be huge and the people at MM didn't have to do this but have, thats why I am surprised that people are still deciding whether to go or not -
When is the cut off date to register close?

 

[bovinehost]

thats why I am surprised that people are still deciding whether to go or not

I don't think it's that too many are deciding whether or not to go - it's down to "Can I pay for the airfare/hotel?"

So believe me, I feel for the guys who want to go and can't. I make them this solemn promise - we will take as many photos as possible, I personally will stay sober enough to take copious notes, and will devote space on Camp Bovine to making sure the people who can't be there get as much of it as possible.

I won't so glad you'll be there Jack!!!

As one who struggled with that very same question re: spending the $$$ on the airfare/hotel, I completely appreciate the hospitality put forth by EBMM. This effort goes way beyond the expenses associated with the event - it's an huge logistical effort to plan coordinate and ultimately host.

There is no one I know who has the affection for, and connection to, their instruments like the folks playing EBMM - awesome!

BTW - I too would've been pleased with the simplicity of a tour and a hot-dog! This is way too cool!

Unfortunately, I will be very sober too. Being allergic to alcohol tends to make me a drunk's best friend. Give me the keys to the bus - I won't mind driving everyone home!

Any chance there might be some sort of Open Jam sorta deal?

I know that's asking a lot considering.. buuuuuut.. that'd be pretty cool, eh?

 

[Big Poppa]

Each of the artists will do a couple of songs with Dave La Rue and Van Romaine and then Biff Babys takes over with a artist only free for all.

 

[NorM]

La Rue!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AnthonyD]

I respectfully request that no more details re: the Saturday night concert be made available for fear of sending this author off a ledge...
