want to come to a forum only open house in SLO?

I'm looking at 4000 Miles, round trip but by van :), sooooo I would beable to take rest stops in whereever and just jam on the bass and guitar in the back ya! Maybe leave 3 or 4 days early. Chances are slim, but I'll play it by ear, you guys probably dont want me there anyways haha

Check out my post in the guitar section regarding where we are in the planning stages.

It is important that you guys read and understand what is going on....



Relax and let us entertain you...O.K.?

Sterling, you Rawk. With a big ol' double fisted Rock Horns too :rolleyes:
again I can't say enough(some might call my nose getting brown but whatever) that it's great you're even entertaining the idea! and the logisitcs!!!!
thank you, thank you, thank you ..... just, uh... could we not have it on the 28-29th of August?? :D :D

all this talk SoCal that I've broken out the Corona and am piping exhaust into the house from my car and have had a drive by or two :eek: (i kid, i kid..)
 
Well now I didn't know you drank alcoholic beverages.

I'm not at all sure I can hang out with you.

Whoa, almost knocked my martini glass over.
 
Will we need designated drivers to take the old(er) members back to the hotels? :p

BP... all I can say (and I think I speak for most of us) is thank you for the thoughtfullness. I am just happy that you would open your doors to us (not very many companies would do that). I am sure that whatever is planned by you and your staff will be outstanding.
 
You know what? I wish I could find a way to bring Heinz with me, because after all that bass has been through, wouldn't it be nice to show him where it all started?

This seems strangely appropriate. I think Heinz would enjoy it!
 
bovine my SR5 is better than Heinz. Nah Nah na Nah na.


the jk tk that done been partying.

I want to thank BP for the invitation to SLO. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone on the forums that will attend......seems like the perfect atmosphere for some basses and tequila.
Just the thought of Bovine attending will make the party.
 
Ok, so I have a thought. Bovine's post in the "tuesday morning torture" thread brought this on, so blame him. Since Mr. Ball is being so generous and inviting us to come to the factory for a day of fun and all this good stuff, and all the stuff Jon, Derek, Scott, Sterling, and Ernie have done for us, maybe we should have some sort of a tribute type thing to them. Obviously we'll have to coordinate this outside of the forum, becaue what fun would it be if they knew? It could be kinda like a Tribute to Ernie and a big thank you to the rest of the guys at the EB/MM factory all at the same time. I havent any ideas as to what we could do, just hte general concept. They've done alot for us, so I think we should pay them back somehow, or at least show them our appreciation somehow. Maybe pitch in and buy a Stingray and have all the forum members that attend sign it and present it to Sterling later in the evening? I dunno, I'm just kinda spitballing here, but I think it would be nice.

im super excited about this. maybe im easy to please but just meeting all you folks and getting a factory tour would make me as happy as possible.

any bay area folks positive their going? im from the SF area and will definately make the quick drive. PM if you might wanna coordinate rides etc ...

we probably need name tags :)

great idea dude. id love to participate. maybe when things start settling in we can start working out an idea. i can use my web space to host a mini forum for whoever is 100% in so that we can discuss and make plans.

i think BP and (of course) the entire staff always go way out of their way for us ... this open house is a way extreme example of that and i think many people would like to take the opportunity to say "thanks"

its probably too early to try and organize this but feel free to PM me cuz id love to help ya out w/ this
 
It's times like this I'm glad I can fly for free (good career planning).

I'm in as long as the dates work out. I'm guessing it won't be before or during NAMM week (I'll see you EB guys here (in Indy) that make the trip).

<<< edit >>>

I just read in the guitar thread that late AUG/early SEP are currently being discussed....
