Bob I am targetting arriving at yours mid morning’ish on Saturday.   I’ll bring munchies – potatoe chips, pretzels, cookies.. etc. Any special snack food requests from you folks? Bob would you like me to pick up soft drinks as well and if so, what kind? (I plan on doing a Costco run this Friday night so just let me know).

Alain thank you for the kind offer to bunk with yourself and Serge. I booked a room at the Holiday Inn for the Saturday night and it looks like Tricia and our two girls will be coming (they may do a side trip to Marineland and join us in the evening).

Sounds like the party will kick into high gear on Friday – save some energy (and single malt) for the Saturday crescendo!

The Honduran Rosewood ones? Great!

Tempting as that sounds...... I'm in weekend OT mode at work right now. I'll probably be working that weekend, and I have my month-end closing of the books and I'm dealing with the financial statements all by myself this month. No way I can get time off. Wish I could, but we're several months behind wiht some things that have to get cleared up this week.

Dang...and I coulda used those billets too!

This sounds like a wonderful bash in the making. WOW!! All that talent in one spot!

As a "newbie" I have no right to attend. I must earn that priviledge.

I am going to partake in a sailing scavenger hunt in the Erie Islands. So, I'll sort of be "Erie-ish"

I'll be thinking of all of you and the great fun you are having while I claim my winner's prize....no doubt a dreaded Mac computer

Don't forget to take LOTS of pictures!

Lastly, please travel with care.Jeanne38922.9084375

Hesh, lucky if you only have to replace a sofa with all you put her through! I mean who else beside an Angel would inlay your guitars that you built in her bathroom? See diamonds on your drawings and not on her special finger? Get ready for a meat ball fight buster!

Thanks Jeanne, see if you can drop by on saturday night and sing along with us, it'd be really nice to meet you as well!

Bob, thank you very much. You are so kind! It sounds like you and your wife have quite a goings-on planned!

The Erie Islands are those lovely "rocks" to the far, far west of Ft. Erie. You might know them as Kelley's, Put-in-Bay, South Bass and those owned by our Canadian friends to the North - Pelee Island and Middle Island.

We start out Friday afternoon and wind things up late Sunday, so slipping out for a bit would be impossible

I promise that if my schedule allows I will be at the next get-together. Not only will I lend a voice to the chorus, but perhaps some accompaniment from my flute.

Regardless - I am certain everyone will have a wonderful time.
