I've been discussing this with ZZ Doc and we were wondering about what
kind of participation and interest there might be for a summer jam in the
Northeast corner of the US.

I was thinking that maybe CT would be a good area to focus on for people from New England, New York, NJ and even further away. Heck, my friend, Dave Sugarbeet travels to Oregon from the UK every year for a jam and I just came back from a 3000 mile trip for a jam in the Nevada desert.

Anyhoo, some of the topics to think about :

Location (inside or outside) ?

Sound System (depending on how many attending) ?

Date (possible mid-summer/June/July)?

That said, we're open to all and any comments and although we've targeted an
area that would be in the Northeast, anyone on this forum (in good standing)
would be welcome to attend this jam.

So, let's discuss the options....

Wow!! If I could get over to the US I would come, I'll have to have a word with my doctor. I've got the same thing as Chet you see, COPD. Mine is not as severe I think but it's still pretty bad. I haven't been up in a plane for years but I will definitely consider this, I would love to jam with you guy's. I'll see what the doc says. :D

Cool...it's good to see some interest already. :D

Let's see if we can find GilJanus, VT Blackstrat, 53Magnatone, Dutchie, FrankietheKid, and others in the area too...I know there are a few more from New England and the NY Metro areas.

Mike threw this pitch at me after coming back from Vegas on cloud 9, after all was said and done save the heavy breathing. :oops: [You've seen the photos.] Being in the habit of gathering with my old high school 'alta rockas' [next is June 5th], and breaking bread with some of the forumites in Florida seasonally, I was poised to consider the idea seriously,yet initially saw the need to find a venue which could accommodate and host a horde of guitar players of all stripe who were planning to rock and roll with the volume pots set at '11', eat, drink, carouse, perform the usual bodily functions, and likely need to crash for the overnite.

The logistics of this are really complex and its going to take some thought and planning, particularly if members are willing to travel thousands of miles and invest considerable coin and time to do so. It's not so far afield from renting space for any kind of gala event, e.g. a wedding, and needing to provide for friends and relations you haven't seen since the Titanic sank, who are traveling from their homes in Ultima Thule. So give it some serious consideration :idea: and we'll weigh the possibilities and practicalities.

Doc :wink:

I'd be very interested in Jamming with my Fender Brethren. As a NJ guy, I love the idea of a Northeast Jam. Connecticut would work well for me. Doc and Miami Mike, keep me in the loop as discussion continues. Maybe we can find an Elks Club or Firehouse hall in our targeted search area for small scratch. I think it would be legendary if we can pull it off.

As we flesh this one out, the same logistics might be applicable to other regions.
