Hey Steve, I couldn't find anything on the S.O.B. website about the $$$$ for this incredible weekend.........

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

I'm still waiting on my dba to come back from the state in order to open the bank account and start accepting registrations and lining up corporate sponsors. The cost for the entire 3.5 day event will be $495 plus your hotel (reduced group rate at $84/night) and transportation.

I should have registration (with an early bird discount) up an running by April 1st.

The SOB website is also being totally rebuilt as we speak as well.

I have a dedicated SOB Forum on The Pit here:

Steve, you could blame it on the postal service

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

I never said he couldn't come damnit!! I just kinda figured it was a given. My bad...I'll send a formal invitation tomorrow.

Big baby!

 

[Colin]

[Colin]

Yeah, well, I'm sure that's debatable Colin but I'm too old to change now...know what I mean??

Even if you could change, don't.

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Even if you could change, don't.

I'm drinking bourbon..is that the yes album with the clap on it?

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

No "Clap" on it but checking out "South Side of The Sky" now...trippy stuff...

Trying to keep up with Chris Squire on a Ferrington with Acousticores on it is not easy.

yeah but does Chris Squire have an EB sticker on his bass?

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

No, he don't but these damned rubber bandy thingies are flopping all over the fickin board on me and I'm up to "Long Distance Runaround" which is hard in and of itself.

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Ahhh the acoustic "The Fish" is nice with this setup though...there we go...great tune for the Ferrington....nice...

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Oh, oh...now into "Heart of the Sunrise" which I saw Tony Levin play at NAMM last year with Jon Anderson on vox on an SR5 with Funk Fingers...try that sometime if you're bored...song is a monster...LOL

 

[Steve Dude Barr]
