Bigger trouble in the 60’s. The Gap didn’t open until 1969. Before then tough to find 36” length pants.
Like, yeah. When in Ireland I had to duck for EVERY doorway!!
I've played thee Parkside, 6 r so years ago. I was told they had a decent bass amp, I wouldn't need to bring mine. They had an SWR LA10. Single WORST amp I've ever used. But a fun venue!
How do you like the Stargazer? Been missing my BecVar 8-string since I had to sell it, and I think it might be time to stop thinking about ways to obtain @TBird1958 old coral 8-string NR...
We can and should discuss a 2026 GTG, there's plenty of options for locations, for one, Seattle is a possibility if you guys want to. I do think that since it was the location of the previous GTG it may not be the best choice, and it would likely exclude some folks due to location. So a California location seems a better idea, something central would be ideal. Chuck and I have spoken about it a couple of times and it's clear that the event has kind of outgrown his garage and home as a focal point, comfy as it was, it should be obvious that the garage is now being used for cars and amps etc. That's not say that Hollister isn't a possibility as a starting point, it is central and it's most likely that we could return to Santa Cruz for a day at More Music, which makes some sense as there's multiple amps and lots of room and we can make noise without bothering anyone. Hollister does have all the amenities needed for social activity as well, we just can't use Chuck's home for that.
So for other locations to work, we'll need to be able to make noise and be social while doing so, lodging and food options as well, Points of local interest are nice too, Seattle still has lots to see that we didn't touch on at all, but other places do too.
Anyhow, let's discuss!
This is a fond memory, love you all!
I'd love a Cali location, I gotta make it. I can also whip up some shirts, had a design I've been sitting on...

I remember The Gap when it was The Gap rather than the farce it is now.
“Fall into the Gap!”
I found a great shirt a few years back on Redbubble that says "Girls just want to have Sunn" with the logo on it, and I love it to death.Drop a Sunn logo on the sleeve.
Love it, absolutely love it is light looks like a RIC balanced and plays well after 8 months the neck is still stable. For the 1k price it impossible to beat.
Except Levi’s indigo dyed , unwashed, unhemmed!

I’m up for wherever. It’s really getting the people together that matters. An AZ GTG could be a possibility, depending on George’s plans. And of course Andy is there. But yeah, let’s start thinking about getting something lined up.

I wonder what’s going on with Broken Arrow Ranch. That would be a cool place to visit.
That would be excellent!
They’re still selling pure, wild meat.
Oh, wait. You mean the other Broken Arrow Ranch. Never mind.

SoCal and AZ are tough for me and Frank, it's a really long drive and if we fly, can't bring any basses which makes for a sad Queen.
What would you bring? Others have a 64 II, Bicentennial, 64 reissue, 2015…I think we could cover you?SoCal and AZ are tough for me and Frank, it's a really long drive and if we fly, can't bring any basses which makes for a sad Queen.
