Post by: mica on September 21, 2011, 02:03:36 PM: I might be able to swing an Indiana or Ohio one in perhaps November. That's not too far away from Chicago.

Otherwise, we'd have to think about Mayish 2012 for Chicago.

Post by: 811952 on September 21, 2011, 06:20:35 PM: Although I'm open every weekend in November except the one following Thanksgiving, May-ish would sure make planning a lot easier for most folks I would think..

Post by: ojo on September 22, 2011, 07:55:20 AM: What timing, I've been hoping for another Alembic meetup in Chicago, and talk has already started.

FWIW, next May would be good, though might be wise to avoid the middle of the month when G8's in town.

Perhaps we should start banging our beer bottles for a Fall 2012 or Spring 2013 gathering.

There is always another time . . .

I certainly did enjoy the last Chicago event.

Post by: pauldo on May 12, 2016, 05:16:11 AM: Just south of Tomahawk!
At a place where wildlife far out numbers humans. I feel like I fit here.
Never tire of seeing the Bald Eagles, no desire to see a bear (but their scat is about), saw my first black squirrel a week ago . . . . by far my personal favorite is when Henry stops by. Henry is a male Northern Harrier and he is assisting us with reducing our mouse/ vole population. He has been a regular visitor this spring. 8)

Post by: keith_h on May 28, 2016, 04:31:05 PM: I wouldn't be able to make one this year but the wife and I are planning a trip out west in 2017. Since we would be going by the in-laws house more or less we are planning a couple of days in the western suburbs. So if folks can manage not waiting six years between get together's I would be interested in one next year.

I would need advanced notice but certainly do everything in my power to be there . . . . BagEnd again? 4 x 21 sub woofer? Rows upon rows of beautifully constructed instruments, all lovingly released for everyone to try? My goodness.

Next May (2019) it'll be 10 years since I jammed with some of you at Bag end.

I'd like to be 10 years older and do that again with you all, it was one of the best and most fun jams for me!

Anyway, just mentioning it as I have in the past. Hope everyone is well!!!

Do to unforeseen circumstances (read: life) I still have a residence in Milwaukee and sadly have been spending more time there.... the drive to Bag End should be doable.

I appreciate that. I have no desire to get on an airplane full of strangers myself.

Mica - I sent you an email about posting some archived pictures that I was going to share (along with audio recordings). Wondering if you got it?

Post by: lbpesq on September 25, 2021, 09:23:38 AM: Paul, can you swing that jet over to the Bay Area and pick me up on the way? I flew in for the last one, but like you, I’m not yet ready to get on a plane, let alone stand in a long TSA line inside a terminal. Until then, I’d sure love to check out pics and recordings of the Bag End gathering. I still remember the largest bass speaker I’ve ever seen. IIRC that puppy was 23”!

Bill I also sent you an email about the audio from that get together.
I “PM’d” both you and Mica…. I have the songs and pics both in Dropbox, but wanted pre-approval from the Mothership before releasing anything public. (Mostly pics, as there are shots of a young Eric and basses that aren’t owned by me).

Its is 21". My bass player bought 4 of them because of this gathering for a true bassault!

Miss that time, it was great to jam with you all. IL is a legal state now, so that may make it sweeter when we do get together again.

I have recordings that were done by Mike Addyman on Dropbox from the original Chicago Gathering.

I also got notice that Dropbox is imploring me to update for more storage space ($$$). I am a cheap person. I will be removing these files from Dropbox this week. Please PM me if you want a link to retrieve these for you personal archive (it captures the mood of the event well).
