Hey Guys,
My Dad just put together a mini Family Reunion for that date so I'm out.
Have a great time, and hopefully I'll see you all next year.

I’m the opposite, my in-laws may be staying with us that weekend, so I’ll probably be at Serek’s as soon as the doors open

2 of my three boys are in baseball tournaments that weekend in different towns. I’m out, but it could be worse....Could have all three in tournaments in different towns.

So this is just, on May 3rd, show up at Serek's place?
What do we bring?

If you want to bring bass stuff, feel free, but you don’t have to. When it gets closer to the event, I’ll start asking for volunteers for stuff (bottled water, snacks, plates, tables, chairs, usual gtg stuff). The last few years we’ve ordered pizza, so if you want in, bring some cash (or a cash app).

Man, reading the posts above makes me nostalgic for the salad days. I suppose each piece of gear will need to be placed at least 6' from each other. Good thing music travels without contact. Stay healthy people!

Let’s all pray Covid has run its course by May 3rd, and that our favorite Chicago bass builders are still in business. Covid may go away. But, it could easily come back with a vengeance this fall. We just don’t know.

I’m a medical lab scientist btw, working for a major pharmaceutical company. But, that doesn’t mean I know a lot more than the rest of you. One thing I do know... all of us medical people still have to work. It’s a financial blessing, but only if we don’t die or infect a loved one that dies. Say a prayer for everyone still working through this please.

If Gov. Pritzker hasn't lifted the Shelter In Place order by May 3, the responsible thing to do will definitely be to cancel (or postpone) the GTG. This is serious stuff.

Help me out: what were the "salad days"? Not a phrase I'm familiar with.

Thank you for the work you are doing. Well-wishes and salutes to all.

It's overused, but appropriate: Keep calm, and carry on.
