Hey Gary, I forgot to mention that I have been a Bag End man for over 10 years now. To see my rig go to Showcase then Distillate, then look up Chalie's Distillate. The top two are for my Double Bass and the Bottom two are for my Alembic! I have been in contact with Craig Lockwood from Bag End from time to time and he has been outstanding in providing information and parts! Peace! Low Frequency Low Frenquency Freak!

Hi, folks,
 
someone just dumped my nose into this thread  
Of course I have to find out if I can make it, but it is sure tempting to come over and make some new friends... I'll keep you posted !
 
all the best from cloudy Germany,
your Christian

I will bring a shortie SI.  I will also bring a 36 with ebony lams (I think someone requested that).  And I'd like to bring an Alemric if no one objects.  And my custom QCB.  And number 59.
 
And my goose pimples.

Gary, Bag End will have a complete PA in service, and there's a compassionate drummer joining us with his kit, so a full jam experience is possible. There will even be vocal mics for those with pipes.  
 
Dave, do bring your Alemric! And wouldn't it be grand if somehow Christian could join us?
 
Anyone else that wants the attendee information should email me at the address in my profile.

Chalie
It'd be swell to meet and see you if you can make it. In the early 80's I used a couple BE S15B-D cabinets with an oil finish. But thinking I found something better I replaced them.
Mica..you want us to bring our pipes ? Ah,thats illegal in Illinois, well if you get caught anyway.

Guys,
talked to Speicky today and we had the idea to come together to the gathering. Wow, that would have been great but unfortunately I am in London during that time.
So I hope that we will have another gathering no to far away so that I could come with Speicky to meet you guys.

OK I got everything taken care of, So I will be there,  got a room at the Days Inn closest to site.  I may not get to the function till 1130ish give or take, due to my best flight connect was going to Midway Airport where I will arrive in Chicago around 930am pickup my rental and drive an hour to the Gathering, so if traffic is bad I should be no later than 12 noon.
I really am looking forward to meeting everyone and I am thankful for Alembic and Mica for putting it together.  
I can already hear the rolls of thunder in the distance from the storm thats Blowing into Barrington.
better to say blowing or Brewing I prefer to say Brew and Cold one myself. See you guys there!  John Judge

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I never meant to see you cry,
I didn't mean to hu-hu-hurt you,
I'm just the lucky guy...        
 
too bad you cannot come with me, Oliver, but I bet you'll have fun in London, too. Next time we make it together, you already promised that !
 
cheers !

Your reference to John Lennon's Jealous Guy funnily enough brings to mind Culture Club's Do you really want to hurt me. Plagiarism at its finest!
