I'll do my best to drag myself out of bed, drive from Weatherford to 635 and 35 to unload the band trailer, and still make it to the Fender stage in time.

Black Stone Cherry is going to be there on Sunday worth checking out as well as the Kentucky Headhunters

Typically the Dallas Guitar show is great for finding diamonds in the rough...I have found a deal on a cool old used pedals there almost every year...and it's a great place to stock up on strings...Last year the Dean Markley guys were selling 4-string bass sets for $10, and 5-string sets for like $13.
I usually take some gear down to try and sell...but I'm not gonna lug anything down there this year. I'm also just going to use the backline stuff they have on stage...I think last year I used a Mesa big block 750 and a farty Ampeg 8x10...

My only free time is tonight (Friday), and I'm too danged tired to walk around at Market Hall! 
Part of my "band" will be at the "Ten under 20" competition on Sunday morning...their name? "Last Call"

if any big D or little d bassists want a get together this weekend. my band's playing twice tonight in denton (boilerrrom) and tomorrow dallas (doublewide).
we play first both nights, and i am the "lucky"
guy who gets to wait until close to get paid, i am sure the rest of the band will split. it's the price you pay for being the guy in the band who handles the money, but better me than them.
so, if anyone wants to kill 3 hours drinking and talking basses with me either night, be my guest. i'll be the geeky guy with the maiden bass.

My little sister is getting married on Sept. 27, so I guess I'll be in and around the Dallas area then.

Perhaps I could do that, provided there's no rehearsal dinner or any of that tomfoolery.
My little sis is going to hate having her oldest brother in the wedding with a mohawk.
