Bummer! I will not be able to attend.
good news is that I will be making money that day....but I will miss you guys/gals!
Sorry to hear that. We'll miss you. Til Next year!

I have posted the details on our forum waiting to see who will join me.
Someone here asked for me to bring them some aged cheese
Please pm me with your order
Looking forward to the gtg

The cheese request was mine.... But I can't come :-(

So bring what you want
 
Will be there. CTA schleppin'. :p Can assist with setup and teardown and will kick in extra $$ for Lou's.

EDIT: I'm assuming y'all want me to bring my Sadowsky NYC again? She seemed to be pretty popular at last year's. :D

Depending on how things go down by then, may have rig components in hand and would find someone to get a lift with if I do. Uncertainty at work and health issues keeping me hesitant on pulling the trigger.

Sorry to hear about the work and health issues, hope all goes well. Looking forward to chatting again and seeing that beauteous Sadowsky (yes, please bring it!:D ). I'd give you a lift, but I'm coming from the complete opposite direction.

I'm in! Put me down for pizza, and helping with setup. I might bring some soda and water as well.

Last year was great, I'm looking forward to this one.

Glad to hear it!
If you can bring water that would be great.
No worries about pizza, we can figure that out day-of.
Let me add, if someone needs a ride from the mid-North Side on down (I'm in East Lakeview), I've got room for 1-2 people plus gear in my Subaru.

Just wanted to add that while I probably won't be bringing a rig this year (unless someone is dying to play an Ampeg B100R Rocketbass) I will bring my trio of wide-necked 35" 4-strings. Lowdown, Wendler and Carlo.

I'll also probably have for sale the red-headstock Maple/Rosewood, Warmoth P-bass neck that used to be on the Jazz. Satin poly finished, dot inlays and drilled for hipshots.

Lastly, if there is genuine interest from multiple attendees I'd be willing to bring my Pedal Steel Guitar setup. This is a bass gathering, but it's also an instrument that most folks have never had the chance to try.

I can chip in for things. Let me know where help is needed

I can also bring one or two of these. I have some 5 bangers as well.

Awesome, I'll let other folks request which basses to bring, but do you think you could bring some cheese and crackers?

Doesn't have to be anything fancy, but it looks like we'll have some Wisconsin folks coming and it's only fair that at least one of them bring a tribute of the official state fruit. :D

Also I love cheese.
