Why dont we have an International Talk Bass get together kind of like a convention where we all meet up party, jam check out gear maybe make it like a mini NAMM show. Would anyone get on a plane and go outside their country to do something like this?, i think i would.Whats your feedback?

Sure, I could some day come to Manhattan, perhaps when some airline has it's discount campaing or something. But hoping more than two persons outside Northern America to pull off anything like that at the same time.. 
edit: However, when my bank account shows more than one million dollars, I promise to bring myself and five other euromembers to such meeting

I vote Motown, Good R&B, cheap hotels, If we do it over Labor Day we can catch the Jazz Fest! Last year I saw Will Lee, Mark Egan and Victor Baily for Free!! |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Queens, N.Y.(Near JFK Airport) | | This is a good idea, but I doubt that more than a few people would be able to afford the entire trip and be able to make it at the same time.
I agree with Erlendur that Iceland would be a great place to have it. 
Seriously.

Why don't we just have it at your house so you won't even need gas money? 
[this is good-natured ribbing btw]
If and when the dollar gets a bit stronger against the euro a European location might be semi-affordable for many, especially if held in the winter. Cheap airfares for us Yanks, convenient to Eastern and Western Europeans, not out of the question for Middle and Far-Easterners.
Might I suggest...Amsterdam? Many, many reasons this is a fantastic idea.
