Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | I know it takes awhile to get everyone together on times and dates so I thought I'd bring this up early. I'd love to have a gathering here NEXT summer. Late June or early July would probably be best weather-wise, but whenevr you all decide you can come, I'd love to have you. The shop is a great place to jam, and there is also a beautiful national park five miles up the road. As most of you know, there's not a lot of good food here, but if I have had to suffer for the last five years, I guess you guys can muddle through for a few days! :rolleyes: Let me know. |

I'll start working on a 2011 gathering in Killington, Vermont. |

Rushmore to Lake Pectola, Deadwood to Bella Fouche, and Needles Highway, there are so many awesome things to see and do. But getting a chance to jam with all you great folks would be the best of all. Hmmmmm....
you got me thinking about next years vacation already ! If you go you gotta see the Columbian Mammoth dig in Hot Springs, I guess that's down toward your neck of the woods CS (yes) ? |

Pam & I talked about going out that way for vacation this summer but because of the way things are so shakey here in Michigan we are going to stay closer to home this year.
But I have all the tourist info in my desk. If things start to look even just a little better, 2010 just might fit in quite well. |

Oz is on my bucket list, and has been ever since I started scuba diving. Throughout the decade+ I was an instructor & led trips all over the Caribbean I tried to organize a group trip to Oz, but never quite got enough people to commit to make it happen.
The exchange rate is very favorable once we get there, but the problem for us right-coasters is the airfare. Still, one day... |

If we can get an idea of how many are coming we can get a good group rate. And we can take over the Flatiron on the weekend. They have a beautiful outdoor stage, decent food (for around here)a beer and wine license, and LOUSEY coffee. :p And it is only half a block from the shop. It will be SO COOL to see you all here, but I warn you, you may never want to leave! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Greg, get a cheap flight here and I'll take you the rest of the way. SWMBO wasn't as interested as I thought she'd be (I think she has this fairly reasonable fear that meetings with this group always cause additional guitar purchases), so I might be batching it. Depending on the date, I could make it a 2 day scenic drive each way or a one day balls out drive. Probably go fast one way and slow the other. There's great country between here and there through Eastern Idaho, Tetons, Yellowstone, Northern Wyoming and into the Black Hills. |

Might be a hard sell with Sheri though. I'm already taking a solo guitar vacation this year. Headed to the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop for a week in August.
Two years in a row may be pushing it a bit. But i have a year to "buy" some points and cook up a plan. I'll keep it in mind! Can we take the Porsche :)

gh1 Which one? If wives go, we could take both. No room for guitars, though.
Google has it as 835 miles, all on mountain roads at about 18 hours. I haven't spent that much time driving across Idaho and Wyoming since we did it in our 71 VW Bus. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | OK, how does this sound? The last week-end of June, 2010. I am going to try to get Craig Caruthers here to put on a songwriting workshop. He has written several hit songs for Nashville stars. He is also one heck of a fine guitarist and a nice guy. The sooner I know how many might attend, the sooner I can get in touch with Craig to get this set up. Let me know. |

| Ooh, that sounds like a real winner. Sort of a Western AI, and would give more folks in that part of the country who can't make it to Flah-la-land a chance at a workshop. Great idea.
I'll have to run it by SWMBO, but for now put me down as "likely." Thanks, Ali! |

But even if you come a week early or a week late, it'll still be an OFC gathering! One of my former co-workers at the Moosup factory will likely be here then and you will enjoy my friends who live here too. And you can enjoy all the corny but really neat Fourth activities we have in Hot Springs, like the rubber duck race, the community picnic, the demolition derby, and a REALLY great fireworks show. |

You probably swear at me frequently as we fly in from Salt Lake. When the weather permits, as we descend over the Black Hills on our way into Rapid City, I like to make a right turn over Crazy Horse and then aim for Rushmore and turn left. That way the passengers on both sides of the aircraft get a view of one or the other attraction. I must say that as I start to think about retirement locations, the Black Hills are on the list just due to how pretty they are from the air. Your get together would be a good excuse to check out the area from ground level. |

Then we will go down and take over the open mic at the Flatiron. On Saturday evening, Craig will be doing a concert at the Wild Burro bookstore. The workshop fee will be $150. I will need to know how many of you are planning to attend the workshop, and even if you don't want to do the workshop, if you let me know for sure if you're coming, I will be able to get group rates at one of the local motels. I know it's early, but because this is a tourist area, some of these motels are booked a year in advance. So let me know. Thanks. |

Actually, I was feeling guilty that after 31 years at the same place, I don't feel I can take 2 weeks vacation at one time. That means it's past time to be "self-unemployed". |

Hate that we will miss y'all in a few weeks, we were really looking forward to it, but alas a BIG job came in. Take 'em while you can. ;) |

We're slowly working out the details as well. I now know that it doesn't coincide with my daughter's graduation... so we're safe there. The questions now are:
Who's going? Just me and Nick? SWMBO?
How are we getting there? It's a loooong drive. Flying looks pretty complicated as well, so we'll see.
Either way, something fun and exciting to look forward to! |

Alison,
I was just talking to my soul mate (Lia) this morning about our trip out to S Dakota this summer. She is having to decide between AI4 or your gathering because she is due for a knee replacement surgery within the next 4-8 weeks. If she does it sooner, then AI is out....later then SD is out.
She doesn't want to miss out on either event but this morning she mentioned "I have never been to the Dakotas" so it looks like she is leaning that way.
Regardless, it will be a good time and I am sure beautiful weather! |

I'm going to need to find out how many are planning on attending the workshop too. It looks like the workshop will be on Saturday the 26th, followed by a concert with Craig Caruthers. Those who attend the workshop will get free concert tickets. Those who don't want to attend either, feel free to come anyway. Friday we will be jamming/open mic-ing it at a local restaurant. Sunday, for those who can stay, will be great for sight-seeing. We can even take guitars up to the Needles, or we can stop at my favorite rock in Wind Cave Park. (I go up there with my guitar fequently.) I am looking forward to this SO MUCH! |

Yepper, transportation is the major decision for us. I checked out the airlines (car rental required) and AmTrac (forget about it). So chances are, we will trek the 36 driving hours, one way, and make the best of it.
I should have room for one passenger w/guitar if we can make plans ahead and hook up en route.
Truly lookin' forward to a grand time... |

But sure, there is plenty of floor space here at the shop. There is even a shower available a couple of blocks down the street at Evan's Plunge. But if no one wants to go to the Plunge, we could rent ONE room at a nearby motel and everyone could take turns using the shower. (I'm just afraid my tiny water heater wouldn't keep up if you all wanted to use mine.) If you don't need a shower at all, please stay in the PARKING LOT instead of the shop! :p |

I'm planning on driving from Salt Lake City on Thursday, and would be happy to take riders along. Mapquest says 9 hrs 11 minutes door to door. We could get two passengers in with us, or three if Sara doesn't go.
Alison, I'll plan on motelling it if the rate is reasonable. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Mark, if SWMBO declines, I'll get in touch. A road trip in your van would take me back to my hippie days of the 60's. I'll bring the chips. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Yeah, I heard that on the news the other day. Consumer reports (?) tested a bunch of American coffee and not ONE was rated at "very good" or better. But that is a GOOD thing if you are coming to the Hills. If all the food is lousy (and it is), why not wash it down with lousy coffee? I can offer you the most breath-taking scenery, fantastic music, a bunch of really good people, and a very informative songwriting workshop, but if you want something good to eat, you'll have to bring it with you. :( |

Probably why all the food and coffee tastes lousy! |

Location: Omaha, NE | I'm planning to attend. Its probably 50/50 that it actually works out, but I'm hoping.
If I come, I'll be driving from Omaha. Depending on how many of my kids come along, I may have room for a rider or two. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Check out his website. craigcarothers.com. There are links to his songs, bio information, schedules and all kinds of good things. Carig writes songs that are either hilarious or heartbreaking. There doesn't seem to be an in between. Check out the song "Open Mike". It's one of my favorites. There is another song that isn't on the website called Schenechtedy (sp.) that will tear your heart out. Guess you'll have to come to the gathering to hear that one. |
