Location: Phoenix AZ | Cliff, Thank you for your very well thought out comments. And again thanks for being the emcee. All things considered I think it went as well as it could have.
IF the factory allows another open house, I would suggest that we (the fan club) take a huge burden off their shoulders and arrange and pay for the friday jam our selves. We can rent the venue, bring the PA, hire a bus so there is no liability of drunk driving, etc. It could be funded by donations or proceeds from the OFC Store, for example. Just a suggestion.

If "smarmy" had consistency, what would it feel like? Well, just to clarify, my smarmy comments had *nothing* to do with Cliff's original post (I think he did a great job writing it up and expressing *my* sentiments, which apparently parallel some of his own). I was going to post something about topless dancers during the Bobby McGee set, but the perpetrator had already made commented on it hisownself, so that not only (greatly) diminished the (hoped for) comedic impact of my original post, but made it seem, hrmm, not really friendly. So, after reading the posts *after* the post I was replying to, and realizing that I'd been cut off at the pass, I edited.
Now, as to consistency...no comment. :p |

Location: Scotland | I'll try to be brief and to the point. The band were fine, they just weren't needed, played too long and weren't up to the sound engineering/stage management thing. The venue is fine, the catering has always been excellent, and it's no hardship to bring your own booze. There's enough equipment, skill and willing available within the membership for this never to be an issue again. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Dave - great idea! Cliff - I'll throw my thanks in as well. You took a potentially hairy situation and made it palatable for all.
Jason - when you're done building your treb - please point it south :eek: |

I was quietly wishing that you would go upto the stage and do your magic and tone down the volume, adjust the mics etc. Especially after you gave your workshop in the morning. I took a few pictures of them and headed towards the back end of the lodge just so I can save my hearing from further damage. |

Not sure if that's a step up or down from 'marketing puke'. |

Location: NJ | One of the guys (Mike?) works for KMC in Bloomfield in InternationalSales. He and the other guy had been bandmates for a long time, and they splintered-off (pretty much like Rick & I did) some time ago into the duo-thing, and play the local bars. Nice Guys.
They both played ssb's. |
