May 19 is the only definite out for me as well, that's kinda soon anyway. Since Rusty has been pushing this more than anyone else, I think we should do what we can to make sure he can be there. As for myself, I'd like to wait until June 1 - school is out and volleyball season is over (I coach). I have something booked every first, second and third Saturday of each month, but can work around it if needed. Holidays are always chancy as we usually visit in-laws, but with advanced planning anything is possible.
I'm sure Pete would be in as long as we have a date or two to give him.
Haven't heard a reply from John regarding Wayne's suggestion of hosting again. Can always revisit The Jam Station again, but I'm tired of paying for space.
Funny, yesterday afternoon I was trying to imagine how a conversation with Guitar Resurrection (Austin, TX) would go if the idea of hosting a gathering were presented to them. Small shop and they were amiable when I visited them a few years back while jonesing for their Brown Bass.
