It has been quite a while since we did this.

Any interest from the DFW people?

And of course, people from the rest of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana are welcome too.

I will be permanently moving to Arkansas in June or July, and probably will not be able to afford the luxury of paying for gas just to travel 400 miles for a get together, so it could be my last one.

Sounds like a blast. I was hoping one would come up soon around here. Depending on the date and time of course, I would plan to be there. Any one got a place in Mind yet?

We bought a home where we want to retire, and things look as if they might work out for us to go ahead and move there. I am working something out to keep my job and telecommute.

I don't think my 650 sq ft. apartment would be real condusive to a gtg...especially seeing as I can barely turn my master past 2 without rattling the entire building.

I just got word that I'm being sent to Irving for training on the Tuesday and Wednesday before the guitar show. I thought about taking that Thursday off to possibly visit Pete and Pavel's shops... but if we have the GTG that Saturday I may skip the Thursday plans and just come back up Saturday for the show and GTG. We shall see.

Thumpa,
Let me know what you end up doing. Would love to meet you!
Pete's usually slammed before a guitar show, so I'm not sure about him hosting anything 48 hours before. I guess we'll hear from Pete or Juneau about his place....

Ya know, I didn't even think of that! I guess I'll be coming back that Saturday then for the show, but I'll definitely let you know what's up while I'm up there. I'll drop Pavel a line too to see if he'll have a booth.

Heh... I talked to wifey today and mentioned the trip, and she's like "well, instead of going back and forth, why don't you just stay up there through the weekend?" Dunno if I'll actually do that, but cool to know that I have the official spousal green light if I want to. ;)

Juneau

Yeah looks like Pete plans to host a GTG in August sometime already, so he likely wont be hosting this one. Allthough he said he may attend hehe.

Well, if we have a GTG in the spring, we're still looking for a place. Anyone? A house? A church rec. room?

Does tuBass still come around? He arranged the first one that I went to at that resteraunt in Deep Ellum. Maybe he still has a contact there?

Would offer my house, but it's in Denton, kinda out of the way. But besides that, we are preparing for my daughter's wedding, so the WAF for hosting anything right now would be non-existent.

I would be interested in meeting you guys. I went to the one a couple of years ago here in Frisco (just around the corner from my house). That little place seemed alright. If it's the weekend of the Dallas Guitar Show, even better!

I went to the show last year and had a blast. I really didn't care too much about looking at all the instruments, but what really did it for me was seeing all the greats playing up on the different stages!

Looks like they just announced the entertainment lineup too!

There's a possibility of my being around Dallas soonish - around May 12th.

Perhaps I could bring a Strangeberger or two?

Brian Barrett

who all is Planning on attending the Dallas Show/GTG next weekend?

Maybe everyone can hang right after the show for a beer, I know a number of bands will be playing around the convention Center as always.
Last year the show actually opened mid day on Friday and then all day sat and sunday.

So either Friday or Sat.... I'll be there for either. I'm sure Pete will be around as well as Pavel.

And for those interested, Kevin from GoodGuysGuitars and Bob from bass Palace will also be at Dallas this year.

Perhaps we should have a Gulf South GTG. New Orleans needs all the conventions it can get... we need your tourist money...

Ok folks, the show is this weekend. I've been under the weather this week, but I plan to make the trip tomorrow unless my condition gets worse. Who else is going to be there for sure? We should find a way to indentify ourselves and hook up while we're there.

Edit:

I talked to Pete (http://www.skjolddesign.com/), and unfortunately he won't have a booth set up, he has a lot of stuff going on right about now. He may be in the shop for a couple of hours, so if I can I'll try to connect with him then. I also called up Pavel (http://www.pavelmi.com), and while he won't have a booth he does plan on attending the show, so we'll see about meeting up and yakkin' a bit.
