Dallas 2009?? It's time Folks....
« on: June 03, 2009, 07:31:05 AM »
Ok folks, it?s been a year and a half since we did this last so I thought I?d start the ball rolling. Mike and I discussed this in Chicago and thought it?d be a good time to throw it up for some timing and venue ideas.
 
So are the folks in the area ready to do it again and if so when is a good time for everyone? I really liked the venue we used last time. The price was right and it had lots of room.  
I?d like to see the out of town brothers, (Michael, David & Jorge) be able to make it if you guys can.  
Christian you are always welcome; of course I don?t think your wife would be as understanding about 2 trips to the US in one year. LOL
 
Ok guys chime in and lest get the ball rolling.  
 
OO
PS. Mica Dallas is a great place to visit. And I?d personally show you guys around town.

OK let's start planning, my vote will be early fall, when it's not so hot!! the last place we had it was great.
 
it looks like 28 Alembic's is the number to beat
I think we can do it

The Jam Station is a nice venue and I wouldn?t mind going back. Roomy enough to set up, talk and play. My only concern (and it's a small one) would be the time restrictions they had on the room if people want to hang around longer.  
 
Depending on the number of people attending, an alternative could be someone?s home - granted the support and approval of any interested domestic parties. Friendlier accommodations, possible beer, wine and BBQ action at the end of the day, or during for that matter. Just thinking aloud if some are interested AND we have a place to hold it.
 
Here?s a thought: Zoo Music has the store property that was Larry Morgan?s place. Larry constructed a few nicely sized rooms after he moved in a few years back. Zoo is using it as a place for storage since Larry closed. Sad outcome if you ask me. But it may be an option.
 
I?d like to also to have more than one guitar player if the plan is to jam. I think Dave was a little overwhelmed with the volume of bassists, hardee har har. And one that knows some older, uh, ?seasoned? material would be good.
 
David - certainly OK is hotter than Texas in the Summer, where?d all that red dirt come from?
 
Keavin - what are the chances that you?ll be making a family trip this fall? Could we time something?

We can use my house but room may be a slight problem and we'd have to woory about the dogs wizzin on the instruments.  
 
I have a couple of guys in mind, guitar players, that I'm pretty sure I can get to come out for this. I'm also working on a six stinger that we all know and love from the west coast area!  
 
And Mike is right Keavin, I think Mrs. Barnes needs to visit her family, say around Sept.?

whatever it takes, brother-man. I don't care if it means taking out the trash, doing the dishes, cleaning the bathroom. you do whatever you need to.

Depending on the timing, work, airfares, and, most importantly, senior management, I'd love to come out and jam with y'all (that's what they say in Texas, isn't it?)  Do they let 49er/Warrior fans cross the border these days?
 
Bill, tgo

What about Cheeseheads?
Do they let Cheeseheads into Texas?
 
I'll let 'the group' decide on a date and see if I can swing it. Right now the odds are not in my favor ($$$) but Shoot Y'all, I had more fun than a brahma bull in a buckin' contest in Chi-town... it would be as sweet as iced-tea to be in Dallas.
 
My cousins were actually next door neihbors to Mike Ditka when he lived in Richardson - back in the days when he was a player and not a coach. Calvin Hill was my hero back then! :-)
