Off the top of my head I can think of at least seven bird brains out here in the Golden State - at least three of us in the LA area, one in the Paso area, one in Santa Cruz, one in Pacifica and one in Sacramento.
What a trip of a lifetime it would be to fly out to SoCal and spend a day or two playing some club member birds, maybe even visit the Fender site to see the Lego approach to building a bass. Then drive a bit up the coast to Paso for a visit with our club member there and taste some fine wines at Tobin James and Sculptera. From there take a scenic drive up highway one to see our buddy in Santa Cruz, maybe do a little surfing or crabbing between gigs with Chuck before driving up to the SF Bay Area to check out some original cool creations by our resident west coast Luthier JIO and try a bird or two before a night on the town in San Francisco. In the morning head on over to the Sacramento area to check out Kara's home for stray TBirds in need of mending and check out some great Napa wines. Then first thing in the morning head on back to SFO for the flight home and maybe stop at the Alembic headquarters on the way to check out the amazing build process they use for their instruments. So much fun, so little time.
