US: Midwest 2020 Chicago area GTG - POSTPONED

[mikezimmerman]

It's a long trip for me as well (7-8 hours), but I might be up for a road trip if the timing is right....

 

[eli]

any general sense for when it might be?

We've had weather issues in April three years running (including an ice storm last year!), so I think we're leaning toward May. In the past they've been Sunday afternoons. Of course we don't want to do the 10th which is Mothers' Day.

Will depend on the host's (Serek Basses) schedule, then available dates will be put up to a vote here on this thread so the most people can make it.

I would really like to make it to this year's GTG. If I'm healthy enough I will be there! May sounds good.

Cool, thanks. One last question... their website doesn't provide this, so can you give me Serek's location so I can understand the travel?

Serek is in Chicago near the corner of Sacramento and Carroll.

Serek is in Chicago near the corner of Sacramento and Carroll.

Cool, thanks... found the 2019 thread, looks like it's "2950 West Carroll Avenue, Chicago, IL". About a 3hr drive for me if I can make it. Also noticed the "Upper Bout" was there? Is that the one in Champaign, IL?

[UpperBout]

UpperBout is my TalkBass handle. I am not affiliated with the seller in Champaign, IL. I didn't even know there was one until just now.

And I thought my handle was obscure enough that no-one else would ever come up with a similar name. What's that line about 10,000 monkeys, 10,000 typewriters, and the works of Shakespeare...

Tom - aka "UpperBout"

Is it bad that I only know about this because of the Simpsons?

 

[MattLplaysBass]

Okay, I heard back from Jake Serek- in the month of May he can do May 3 or May 17, so I put a poll up- pick either (or both) date that works best for you. I'll leave it up for 3 weeks (until Feb 15) and then we'll go from there.

Again, feel free to let any and everyone know about this- the more the merrier! Serek's space isn't huge, but it's not tiny, so I'd imagine 20-30 people is no issue.

 

[theduke1]

Either date will work for me
Duke

 

[theduke1]

So far from WBC
I have 2 either and 1the 3rd
Duke

 

[Jon Moody]

Oh man, if it's the 3rd I may be able to drive over (2-3 hr from Kalamazoo).

 

[trainyourhuman]

I'm good for either date. I'll likely take the train from central MI.

 

[Scoops]

Either date here as well

 

[Vic]

I think my profile info is pretty up to date equipment wise. if anything is of particular interest, I could try to bring it if I can make it.

 

[theduke1]

I plan to bring my Fretless, Model T session, my temple pedalboard and my Fender Rumble 500
Duke

 

[BostonJazz72]

Either date is fine with me, too! Glad that it’s in May. The chances of a snow storm has been greatly reduced.

If I'm not gigging it may be a cool event to drive to ..
