Just thought it was time to move the discussion off of the old thread. When we last left the previous thread, Ken was pointing out that May 12th is Mother's Day. Probably not the best date for the gathering.
Bill, tgo
-
Thanks, Bill!
Mother's Day would be great for a Mothership gathering
Hmm... Now I'm regrouping to possibly April 6 or 7. Any thought thoughts for those dates?
-
April 6 = bad
April 7 = ok - can't get there til around 2 but that's par for the course for me!
-
I think later in May or early June would be better.
-
April 7 works for me. (2 days before my B-day!).
Bill, tgo
-
If pushing it back around mid June turns to be an option, that'd be perfect for me.
-
By mid June that part of rough road will be nicely dried out as well and less likely to get stuck in or rip out parts from the bottom of a vehicle.
-
I've never found the road up to the ranch to be muddy or soft at any time of year. We've traditionally held this event in the spring, as I recall, and I don't remember the road ever being muddy. By June it could get quite warm, though.
Bill, tgo
-
I was just concerned about wetness combined with the unevenness such as the erosion and holes of the road. My car does not really have any high ground clearance and came close to scraping as I remember in one part. You guys can plan when ever it works for you . This was just my 2 cents ... ... ... LOL !

Wolf:
You're welcome to swing by here and ride up with me in the Highlander. 4WD ought to do it!
Bill

Bill,
Thanks , my old stock Eldorado is a bit low although I got up there twice before. My old truck might be inappropriate as well. I might take you up on your generous offer this time depending on the variables. I think this will be my 3rd Alembic Gathering in attendance.
-
I'm OK with the April dates. I think if it gets too much later we will have the problem of it being really hot. The one year we had it at the end of June was pretty bad.
-
So, is Apr 7th the final date?
Bradley

Geez, I'd love to make it, but that weekend is a little nuts. It starts out with the MPRE (Bill know about this one) and then I don my recording engineer hat and am doing a remote multitrack of a very diverse music festival. You West Coasters have all the fun. I might have a gig out there at the Great American Music Hall in May (although there's some confusion as to 2013 or 2014), so be prepared to party!
-
Saturdays are better for me then Sundays .
-
I think the current plan is May 11. It's also going to be in a different location, the ranch isn't available this year, but Will has offered another building in Oakland that while not as secret it's quite a bit more accessible.
-
HI Mica ,
Cool !
-
Bummer. I was going to be in town on the 7th.
-
Mini-Gathering on the 7th? May 11 is definitely out for me
-
Plans changed for me-- I'll be in town (Los Gatos) from tomorrow through Easter.
-
Mini-gathering one night this week or this weekend?
Bill, tgo
-
That could work.
-
I could swing by Saturday night. I thought Friday worked but actually I wouldn't be able to get there until after 8 pm.

-
I cannot make it . Sorry !
-
Tomorrow (Thursday)night? Sunday day? It might be Easter, I'm not really sure, but that wouldn't stop me. (I do know it's currently Passover, though!)
Bill, tgo
-
I have been sick and just finished a 10 day course of Amoxicillin and have been working all week . This week and weekend are not good for me. I look forward to planing a get together in the near future when all the pieces are in better perspective.
-
Is May 11th still a plan ?
Is there an update on the location ?
Wolf
-
We need Harry there and it appears that May 11 in not possible for him. Later May or June perhaps ?
-
Thanks Wolf - I thought maybe I could make it on the earlier side, but had to schedule something else in the morning, so the 11th is a no-go.
This will be the first Gathering that I won't be able to attend, but I have already come to terms with it - if the date is set then I'm ok with not going. May is a rough month for me and June isn't much better.
-
May 11 is still the plan. I will be sorry to miss Harry (though I think we might be able to stay later here if that might work out for him).
We can also start to think about a Gathering at the Mothership a little later this summer. It would be different from the other ones we've done (primarily since there is no stage area) but it still might be fun.
I'll be setting up the details by the end of the month in an email, so if you don't hear from me by April 30 and you want to go to the Gathering, email me and I'll set you up.
-
That's a doubleheader gig day for me, so I'll be missing this one too. Love the idea of a Mothership event!
-
Email is going out tomorrow - so drop me a line if you want to make sure you get the details on the first round. Put Gathering in the subject line so I can find it easily.
Looking forward to a fun day (with a slightly less harrowing drive)!
-
Hello Mica,
Did you send out the email ? I Sent an email to you with Gathering in the subject but I did not get the your info email .
Wolf
-
I did send out the mail... moments ago
Getting close now!
-
Thanks Mica , I have received it.
-
Please make sure you got my SECOND email this morning where I describe the correct DAY of the gathering which is SATURDAY. Apparently I cannot read a calendar anymore.
See you Saturday May 11!
-
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'll be changing lots of strings tonight! See y'all tomorrow! Woooo Hoooo!!!!!
Bill, tgo
-
Really bummed I won't be there. While the Mrs. would've excused me from Mother's Day, tomorrow is my daughter's 10th birthday. Hopefully I can make it out there if there's something at the Mothership later in the Spring/summer.
-
Does anyone need me to bring an extra guitar or bass rig?
Jonathan:
Enjoy her b-day party. If you do make it out later this year, you always have a place to stay and make noise.
Bill, tgo
-
Will said there will be a few rooms available for setting up smaller demo rigs, maybe you could bring something for one of them if you have room, Bill.
Do you know if Matt is coming? I don't have his phone number to bug him.
-
If Will knows, Matt knows.
I've got a Rivera Era Princeton Reverb II I'll bring along.
Bill, tgo
-
Send the Alembic corporate jet out here to Colorado to come get me and I'll bring a few rigs, from pre-CBS Fenders to Alembic powered fEARfuls!
I really wish I could be there. 5/11 was also the date for two great Grateful Dead shows I saw in '78 and '79.
-
I've got a Rivera Era Princeton Reverb II I'll bring along.
Great amp! Have fun, all.

I'm on my way now!

Waiting for the picture thread; and fondly remembering my visit two years ago.

I hear the rumbling! +1 on pictures, have fun!
