I can fit 3 guitars, including my daughter's in the Pilot and Waskel has the 1537. No room for amps, either. WooHoo! Does that mean it's going back home with me? |

Location: PDX | RE JeffreyD’s grandson: heck yes! Bring him along. It’s certainly fine by me.
RE seesquare’s copy center: Well, there isn’t one in the immediate neighborhood, but they are scattered across the city and some are not too far away. MWoody said he was bringing a set of the cheat sheets. Perhaps he can make you a copy before he leaves tomorrow?
I’ve got two amps at home. A GB Shen. Jr. and an old 30W Crate. I’ll pick up a pack of name tags today (good idea!).
Remember, parking is going to be an issue. So, I’ll leave the drive open for unloading, and from there you can scavenge a parking spot on the street.
One more warning. We have a big dog that has strong pack instincts. Which means he is going to bark his head off when you arrive. Don’t worry, it’s just his pack alarm going off. He is not aggressive, but don’t show fear, it only heightens his anxiety.
Sorry to hear you can’t make it Edensharvest, sad state of affairs for sure. Take care.
See the rest of you tomorrow!

After we unload all my daughter's stuff we'll have room for a bunch of guitars on the way back. My wife is really nervous about that. She seemed like a nice, sensible woman when I met her. I'm sure she has good instincts for that sort of thing. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I said, "Rachel and I are going to a NW Ovation Fan Club gathering on August 19."
She hears, "I'm going to buy even more guitars."
She says, "The carpet is only going to cost $6000."
I hear, "I'm going to spend $6000 replacing perfectly good 12 year old carpet."
She says, "No that doesn't mean you can buy more guitars with the money I saved."
I hear, "That's $6000 wasted on carpet that I could have spent on guitars."
It's just a matter of communication. |

I don't remember any songs less than PG 13 and I didn't intend to be hauled off for bad behavior so it should be a family event.
I could teach your nephew how to talk like a Pirate and fetch beer though! Those are good life skills to have btw! |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | So, with me, we have at least two bass players in the house. As an O bass is coming, I won't bring my no name bass...what about an amp for same?
I have no room for extras, it's taken up with beer. Am hoping for no trouble (ask about old travel stories) at the border.
Edensharvest, so sorry to miss you this trip.
...maybe same time next year... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Waskel's right. She had serious reservations about my leaving the 1537 with him. She kept insisting that it would fit in the trunk of the Boxster so we could take it over and leave it with my folks. A full set of golf clubs will fit, but an Ovation in its case will not. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | 72, sounds like the beer is well covered. If that's not your style, it might be best to bring something you like to drink. I'm planning on bringing something non-alcoholic (probably Coke) as well as some munchies. See you all there! |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Greetings and best wishes for a great day for all you grinnin' pickers gathering out there on the west coast!! If you strum all those belly-bowls at the same time, why, we might almost get to hear you all the way over here!
Have a wonderful day,
Karen
