I personally wouldn't be able to make it anywhere (as most know I can't drive because of my eyesight, and my wife's been out of commission from ankle surgery), but if anything falls through and a backup spot is needed, I can always host at my house and have no limit to the hours people can be there.

I'm at the edge of Norwich (06360) next to Ledyard, so about 5-10 minutes from either casino. 40 Sunnyside Ave. if that helps for a Mapquest or something.

Either my place or Bryan's place is ok with me... anyone have a preference? Bryan is just over an hour from Pawtucket/N.A. area.

Since a lot of us will be more towards the north, I am offering to host the RI Mini-GTG at my house. Please PM me if you are coming and I will PM you the directions and information.

I'm holding as an open house between 1PM and 6:30PM (maybe later). I'll have pizza, calzones, soda (for those under-21) and beer for the elder folks.

Bring your gear (esp. Chunk ... I want to try the Mouse out).

I have one rig, a PA system with a DI and one very small combo amp, so if someone could bring maybe one more combo amp, that would be great. If my drummer can make it we could jam or whatever.

I look forward to meeting you guys.

-AJ

Bryan,

You're forgetting the fact that you'd be driving through RI. I think you'd be able to drive as well or better than most on the road there now. Hopefully, you and I will be able to make it.

Ha! I guess being legally blind would be an advantage over RI drivers

Absolutely! Think about the excuses . . . No officer, I didn't see the:

red light;
stop sign
speed limit sign
your fat *** standing in the middle of the road;
etc.

Fire up the Buick and we'll see you there.

Cool!

I've got the following available...

Fender Custom Shop "Custom Classic" Jazz V
Pedulla Thunderbolt 4
Pedulla Buzz (fretless) 4
Sadowsky RV4

Carvin B1500 (1250w @ 4ohms!)
Epifani PS600
Epifani UL212

However, if I bring the UL212, I can only fit two basses in my car.


I'm not sure if this is cool or not (shameless plug), but I also have some cabs for sale. Aguilar GS210 and two GS112s. All are mint with the padded Aggie covers. Cash and carry! No shipping fees=low prices and a good deal. PM me if you're interested.

Cheers,
Kevin

If you don't bring your violin bass I'm NOT picking you up!


Kidding of course. Looking forward to seeing you again.





Thor,
I definitely interested in your Benavente. The lakland HB as well.
