VIEW FULL LIVE VERSION : Dallas / DFW / Texas GTG
embellisher 01-21-2007, 05:46 AM 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.
Jeff Rader 01-21-2007, 07:06 AM I'm interested! Jeff - why are you moving?
drgregn 01-21-2007, 09:11 AM I'm in - had to miss the last one. (The cruise was great, though!)
Bassic83 01-21-2007, 09:51 AM I might be in...depends on work/gig schedule.
Jimi Cleek 01-21-2007, 10:58 AM 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?
Jimi
lo-freq 01-21-2007, 11:01 AM I will do my best to make it.
Biker4Him 01-21-2007, 01:20 PM I'm interested
bassthumpa 01-21-2007, 03:19 PM Schedule permitting, I definitely want to make it this time.
Stu L. 01-21-2007, 03:53 PM Depending on where it is I'm in :)
-Stu
tbone0813 01-21-2007, 04:31 PM I'm in for sure.
embellisher 01-21-2007, 11:37 PM I'm interested! Jeff - why are you moving?
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.
Bassic83 01-22-2007, 12:04 AM That's cool, Jeff! My brother lives in Greenwood, AR...he likes it pretty well there.
Basso Gruvitas 01-22-2007, 07:59 AM I would make every effort to make this!
Do we have a date in mind? A place?
Smallequestrian 01-22-2007, 11:22 AM I am in too, any ideas on a place?
Basso Gruvitas 01-22-2007, 11:29 AM I am in too, any ideas on a place?
Your house!!:hyper: :hyper: :hyper:
;)
Juneau 01-22-2007, 11:33 AM Talk to Pete Skjold - he already had plans to host another GTG soon.
Smallequestrian 01-22-2007, 02:14 PM Your house!!:hyper: :hyper: :hyper:
;)
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.
bassthumpa 01-22-2007, 02:18 PM Talk to Pete Skjold - he already had plans to host another GTG soon.
Excellent... let's make this come together!
jonathan_matos5 01-22-2007, 02:56 PM i might be interested too.:)
Basso Gruvitas 01-22-2007, 03:01 PM i might be interested too.:)
Well, we MIGHT be interested in you coming....we're not sure!
;) Just kidding! Let's see if we can land a date and place.

tbone0813 01-31-2007, 06:30 AM Anyone have any location ideas? Dates?
Brian Barrett 01-31-2007, 08:22 AM I'm in if its the weekend of the 30th Annual Dallas Guitar Show & Musicfest, April 20-22. I'll be down there for the show and can come by after the show.
dannoman 02-06-2007, 10:26 PM I'm interested too....

Brian, will you have a booth at the show? Or just another spectator?
Brian Barrett 02-07-2007, 08:40 AM Brian, will you have a booth at the show? Or just another spectator?
Yea, I will be displaying at the show, but if the GTG is afterwards I would love to come.
Stu L. 02-07-2007, 08:45 AM Yea, I will be displaying at the show, but if the GTG is afterwards I would love to come.
I'll at least make it to the show :smug:
davetakis 02-07-2007, 09:34 AM i'll be in dallas the weekend of the show too. if time permits can i come, even though i'm from atlanta?
Juneau 02-07-2007, 09:38 AM Sounds like good timing - let me check with Pete and see if he can host something around then or if we need to make other arrangements.
scuba steve 02-07-2007, 01:54 PM Im interested in going to my first gtg. Keep us updated.
yeah, me too.
bassthumpa 02-08-2007, 12:33 PM 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.
bassthumpa 02-08-2007, 04:51 PM 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 02-09-2007, 07:53 AM 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.
Basso Gruvitas 02-09-2007, 08:02 AM Heh...

Very cool!
Well, if we have a GTG in the spring, we're still looking for a place. Anyone? A house? A church rec. room?
Stu L. 02-09-2007, 09:10 AM 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?
drgregn 02-09-2007, 09:39 AM 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.

Stu L. 02-09-2007, 09:40 AM drgregn, awesome inlay in your avatar! :bassist:
drgregn 02-09-2007, 10:56 AM drgregn, awesome inlay in your avatar! :bassist:
thanks, Carey Nordstrand did that for my NX6. Pretty awesome bass, too!
Stu L. 02-09-2007, 10:59 AM thanks, Carey Nordstrand did that for my NX6. Pretty awesome bass, too!
Well, now I'm interested in actually attending a GTG :smug:
FriscoBassAce 03-08-2007, 09:14 PM 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!

SpankyPants 03-20-2007, 02:38 PM Depending on when I have surgery, I should be able to make it!
unclejam 04-03-2007, 06:39 PM i wanna go i wanna godo we actually gtg n play or what???
Benjamin Strange 04-11-2007, 06:10 PM There's a possibility of my being around Dallas soonish - around May 12th.
Perhaps I could bring a Strangeberger or two?
Brian Barrett 04-13-2007, 08:24 AM 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.
Benjamin Strange 04-13-2007, 08:37 AM Next weekend? Huh? What?
Stu L. 04-13-2007, 08:39 AM I'll be at the show on Sat.
bassthumpa 04-13-2007, 09:04 AM I plan on making the trip for the guitar show that Saturday. I'm also planning to be in town this coming Monday night through Wednesday for some job training, unless something changes.
FriscoBassAce 04-13-2007, 10:48 AM I'll be at the Guitar Show most of the weekend...when is the GTG? And where is the GTG?
:)
FBA
mr sprocket 04-13-2007, 10:55 AM I found out last week I have to go out of town Thursday to Saturday next week! So know I can't go!
Basso Gruvitas 04-13-2007, 11:01 AM when is the GTG? And where is the GTG?
FBA
Oh, didn't you hear? it'll be at Brian's hotel room!
We'll BE there Brian! You can count on us!
Sorry if we break something or someone calls the cops.
Brian Barrett 04-13-2007, 11:04 AM yea, sure :D

Harley's in the hallways? :hyper:
Benjamin Strange 04-13-2007, 11:19 AM Well, poop. If it's this weekend I can't go.
Perhaps we should have a Gulf South GTG. New Orleans needs all the conventions it can get... we need your tourist money...
bassthumpa 04-13-2007, 05:49 PM Well, poop. If it's this weekend I can't go.
The guitar show is next weekend.
tbone0813 04-13-2007, 08:34 PM I'll be there Saturday.
drgregn 04-13-2007, 11:08 PM well, shoot. My memory must be going. I told my partner I'd help him out of a spot and trade call with him (and work that weekend) and completely spaced on the G-show being that weekend too. Oh well, maybe next year ...
bassthumpa 04-20-2007, 10:31 AM 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.
Bassic83 04-20-2007, 10:57 AM I'm out- got stuff going on all weekend. Next time...
Stu L. 04-20-2007, 10:57 AM Definately going to be there tomorrow. I'll be getting there about 3 or so, and staying through the Jars of Clay show.
bassthumpa 04-21-2007, 10:10 AM Ugh. Sorry guys, but my sinuses only got worse. I'm not making the trip today.
