Who can bring some munchies? Chips, cheese, sausage, crackers - we have the OK to order in some subs or pizza.

I'll bring a few pounds of cheese, sausage and crackers. Other assorted munchies appreciated. Thinking we can order subs or something for delivery.

Are a few of us maybe going to go out-on-the-town for a bit afterwards?

I'd love to go out on the town afterward, but I have to drive to over by Marshfield for a gig.

 

[Matt Call]

Well... there's a possiblity I won't be making it. I'm in the process of moving up to Minneapolis for school (just got the final word today...).

Just a heads up.

 

[joegeezer]

I wanted to come real bad, but after some health problems around Christmas, alas, the wallet is empty. Hope to make the next one, if I'm still kickin.

 

[Nappa]

Wish i could come, but i need the gas and the gas money right now

so without me!



later

I'm having internet connectivity problems at home so this is probably my last post on this topic.

See you guys tomorrow!

Weather looks good and I'll see you guys tomorrow. I plan on cutting out after the clinic because of the 3-1/2 hour return trip...

Here's a [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] if you need it.

I don't think I'm going to end up taking my rack...I think my tubes are biased funky and probably need replacement as they're the original Svets.

Now I have enough room to bring three basses, though.

 

[JPJ]

Have fun this weekend, guys. I won't be there, but my buddy (and Chicago native) Dwayne will be there. He should have some interesting things for you to check out.

 

[mrpackerguy]

My i-net connection is back. Checking in a couple more times before leaving in the morning.

Haven't found a trade yet for my CAR Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub so I'm bringing it.

 

[high mileage]

Well crap. Just went out for pizza and my old friend, the check engine light, is back. It's probably nothing worth worrying about but I don't want to chance a 7 hour road trip without knowing what the problem is. Bummer.

So - take lots of pictures. I expect a full report!

 

[jasonbraatz]

Also dudes, this is THE PLACE to hit up if you get there a little early.

The apple fritters are like crack.

 

[joegeezer]

Since I couldn't make it there, I sure am looking forward to a full report, and some pics from you guys. Hope it was a blast!

i don't know if the place is still open? it might be? they're rebuilding it. it's going to be mr. D's connected with a bank. crazy

 

[jasonbraatz]

I found out far too late that Mr D's is now a HOLE IN THE GROUND!



Also, the G2G was pretty sweet! Lots of cool basses including more Laklands than you could shake a stick at. That Lakland hollowbody

I didn't take any pictures or anything though.

Thanks to everyone who made the MN/WI GTG a success, from the locale and the folks there to the basses and especially to the guys. How cool was it to hold our GTG surrounded by a couple mil worth of vintage guitars! No doubt we should do it again sometime soon. Jason, maybe you and I can set the next one up for Madison and maybe draw in some Milwaukke folks this time.

Anxiously waiting Dwayne's pictures.

Yesterday was GREAT!

As I mentioned, I won't be home until tomorrow afternoon -- I should have some pics up by tomorrow night.

 

[IanMartinAllison]

Hey all,

I just wanted to chime in and tell you all how much I enjoyed the GTG! Thanks so much for listening to me play and pontificate. I genuinely enjoyed meeting everyone.

Dwayne, you're killing me with that Dowsky!

Tom - you're killing me with EVERY BASS YOU BROUGHT!

Great fun - hopefully we'll get to do it again sometime soon!

Thanks guys.

Ian
