Really, food's not that big an issue. Our gang does dinner every Tuesday...if it gets that big, everyone just brings one dish that feeds two and you have twice as much food as you need! (Host supplies nachoes and dip, just to avoid 14 of the same thing)
-or-
Everyone brings a protien (meat) to be cooked on the barbie.
-or-
Just bring what you feel like...this is always a great way to stock the hosts fridge for about a week.

Barbies were meant for steaks, or nice tender boneless baby lamb shanks...! Maybe a nice hunk of swamp donkey... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | If my daughter shows, she'll help fatveg with some of that tofu crap. I'll do fine on beer and chips. I miss the parties where a bunch of guys just brought whatever was handy. Once we got married the parties all had to have some theme and there was more food than drink. Nothing more boring than a Mormon party. I'll pick up something on the way over or I'll grab a bunch of leftovers from Mom's 80th if I make it back later. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | My wife and I were just discussing this weekend how I could fit 2 guitars in the Boxster. I'm thinking I might be able to do 3. Will report back after further research. The Porsche Club people will think I'm nuts, but most of them know I am. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Neither of the 2 trunks in the Boxster will hold a guitar in the case, so I'm going with 2 or 3 guitars as the passenger and a week's worth of our stuff. If my wife takes her stuff on the plane, I'll have 2 mostly empty trunks. |

OK, i've got my request in for the UTE, the 1624, and the 1614. :) Of course that depends on what you pick-up before the Gathering.

Waskel, does your wife have a list of fabric store addresses? And what's the traffic/driving like in this town?
Remember, I'll/we'll be in a foreign (and hostile) land...not knowing the local customs and such we're likely to say something in 'Canadian' that gets us sent to Gitmo! |

Location: closely held secret | I'll put together a list of easy to find stores in the southeast area, with maps. Driving around southeast isn't too bad, it's a pretty straightforward grid layout, with strategically placed main streets.
Don't worry about being a foreigner - Portland is getting to the point of Americans being the minority... |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | Mark, go with that. Either Waskel or I can bring a 1624, so that should be no problem. I'm driving my Sable, which will hold at least 4 guitars in the trunk, two in the backseat with my Marshall, and one or two more in the front. Definitely bring the Ute - hopefully I won't miss you on this trip, as I'd love to try one.
On another note, would anyone be interested in playing a newly-refurbished 1869? I just got mine back from the mothership in near PERFECT condition, and could hold off selling it long enough to bring it down in August.
I'm thinking for sure to bring:
1624 Country Artist
1881 Adamas II
1718 Elite
EA68 Viper
1271 Viper solid
C759LX (hopefully)
LOTS OF BREAD & GOODIES!!!!! |

A Fender acoustasonic and a mic.
Maybe a smattering of TRCs and some Preacher PG Blanks. |

This is going to be a blast. I mean, how often can a group of guys get together and have a serious discussion about their nails?
