hi, folks, thank you for all the valuable information so far. I'm in, and I'm open for most anything... well, like John said, don't take me to the Opera  
 
I've got much less than 48 hours to go here, excitement is my second name... where did I put my pills ???  
 
CU soon, Christian

Guys...In addition to pizza, I will be bringing the following:
 
1. Guitar Stands (10 or so)
2. Extra straps
3. Extra cables
4. Extra strings (sorry, guitar only)
5. Extra batteries
 
If any travelers need anything, let me know. As I mentioned to Bill, I've got a lot of pedals if people are leaving theirs at home. If anyone's ever been interested in trying a POD XT Live, I can bring that along. If there's a particular pedal you've wanted to try and I have, I'll bring it as well.

Jonathan, I use the Basspod XT Live. I like the chorus and auto-wha feature on it. Not sure if the guitar Pod uses the same chorus and wah but it might be cool to try on a bass. If you don't mind that is.
 
OO
Did someone say PIZZA!!!!

Ok; I've made my decision.  I just booked a room.  I won't be able to stick around for the post game food as I will need to start back immediately (it's a long drive); but I'm certainly looking forward to meeting everyone!

There are few people in the world I would like to meet but thought I'd never get the chance.  
 
That's great news!!!

As for the Pizza, Ollie...it's Giordano's. Classic Chicago deep dish. I'm having them deliver 1/3 cheese, 1/3 veggie and 1/3 meat. That should cover most religious/dietary restrictions. For those who are lactose intolerant...I'm sorry. I tried my best!

Durty Nellie's is an awesome room.  Looking forward to seeing all of you!
The only thing that stays the same is change.

Wow!  I can feel the energy all the way to the PacNW!  To say ya'll are going to have some fun seems to be just a bit of a 'mild' understatement.  ;D
 
Needless to say, pictures!  Lots and lots of pictures!  
 
Best Regards,

OOH Dave,
I'll be honored to meet you. I hope you have a safe and uneventful drive up.  
See you Saturday,
(If not sooner)
 
wail! I don't own a camera. But I will be bring my ubiquitous Edirol R-1 stereo recorder.  
 
So, who's making the reservation at Durty Nellies, and for how many? Their site says a $6 cover for Saturday. It's 9.9 miles from BagEnd To DNs, according to Google maps.
 
I might want to take my basses home and come back up, if we're all gonna try to hang for the bands...

If Durty Nellies it is, then add John and Tracy Ford to the list...
