TIme for another FOrum get together!

[phatduckk]

ive never seen the string factory so that would be pretty rad. + flying into ontario and plam springs are both options. and i know randy can grab me from the airport if i fly into ontario

 

[Bass Control]

October? Crap... court and/or surgery at that time...

 

[phatduckk]

If anyone is asking me, my vote, in order, would be:

1. SLO. It's Mecca for the Knuckleheads, and always will be.
2. Palm Springs.
3. New Orleans.
4. Nashville.

im on the same wavelength (not strap length) as jack on this but i think id flip spots 3 and 4

but like i said - im stoked and will go wherever it is

 

[Big Poppa]

guys there is really interesting things to see at the ernie ball factory and I can control the food....Like blow your minds.......

 

[Drmckool]

what's there ot see at a string factory?

 

[Beth]

^

Lotsa stuff! Trust me, you'll like it. Our new building is awesome!

 

[bovinehost]

So are we leaning towards Palm Springs/Indio/Coachella?

 

[phatduckk]

+ that rattlesnake place is in palm springs right? i ate there once and it was sooooo good. made a bunch of money playing blackjack before dinner too

like beth and BP said - there's a lot. ive never been there so i dunno but would love to see whatever pops opens the doors to show us.

also, w/ these gatherings the people and the event itself are really what you wanna see.

Open House goes down as one of the best weekends ive ever had and besides the event itself i saw my hotel room and a few streets. Not that SLO isnt beautiful but we were there to get our minds blown by the rediculous parties pops threw

in mean, at the Dallas shindig i never left the airport (except for dinner the first night) and it was also a weekend like no other.

- Strings of coarse

So Rocktober it is then

1. SLO. It's Mecca for the Knuckleheads, and always will be.
2. Palm Springs.
3. Nashville.
4. New Orleans

I agree with Phatty

But in saying that - Build it and they will come!!!!

or Name it and they will come

 

[Aussie Mark]

I can control the food....Like blow your minds.......

Planning on doing some 70's-style baking, BP?

Yeah. I'd be down for the Palm Springs area. ONT to Palm Springs is definitely a quicker drive than any big CA airport to SLO. Yes, Rattlesnake Club is in Palm Springs. They're also in Detroit. I was thinking about the desert as a place for this thing. I think it's probably more accessible than SLO for a quick weekend trip. Plus, hey! We get to see the EB factory! Woohoo!

 

[Moose308]

Palm Springs is (sort of) driving distance for me. Though I wonder if it's really any cheaper than flying.

 

[RitchieDarling]

+1 on that! I had a blast!

Even though I was in constant agony from an abcessed tooth!

It was a great weekend!

[Psycho Ward]

I'm too drunk to read all the post right now, but BP pick a spot and I'm there!

 

[Spectre]

1. Palm Springs
2. SLO. It's Mecca for the Knuckleheads, and always will be.
3. Nashville.
4. New Orleans

Have not been to any of the 4 places, so all would be an adventure.

1. Palm Springs first choice. It's easier for travel, we will see the factory, and more economical (at least for me),. Funds keep getting depleted because I keep buying new basses. or is it

2. SLO say no more, the nerve center. Require sale of a few body parts, but what the hey.

3 or 4, any order.

Besides that, I want to hang with Psycho, 'cause he is a party animal. WOOT!

 

[Kristopher]

Woot, I could drive to either SLO or PS from Phoenix. I'd love to see a factory tour and a gathering of bass peoples!

Hopefully it's not on the 15th-17th since I have a gig in Pueto Rico.

 

[bassmonkey]

Damn! Damn! Damn!

I've sworn off flying. Trying to do my bit for the environment. This is going to be a tough choice. Remain principalled or have fun and be a hypocrite.

 

[DTG]

we are on day 43 of constant rain so as long as its sunny i dont care where it is

Its going to cost me a small fortune,so I dont care

Ifi can go it will mean selling a bass to get there but i cant think of a better reason to flog a fenf@r!!

 

[roballanson]

well oddly I will be in Kentucky from Sept 12 to 15 and then in November round the 14th.....cannot get any where else though.

How about the west coast of Scotland - can arrange a couple of distillery visits and tastings!!!


oh ps I have not read all the thread yet so if there is a decision on where and when sorry about the above.
