It looks like there's interest in an Idiotjam this fall. Even in regards to attire. No issue at all with the original thread, but here we can start to plan without having to first scroll to page two or three. So let's start discussing this.
Between myself, Factory Chef, Paleo, Mark and Joy, Amana Joe, Nick, who owns the Farmer's Mercantile, the Garrison library ladies, the City of Vinton for use of the train depot space, my daughters, Carmen for a great meal at La Reyna, the folks at the Cobblestone in who let us invade their lobby for the after-concert party....
I'm sure I forgot someone and I'll feel bad when I remember, but the reality is that there are a whole bunch of Iowans around here who really miss all of you.
So I'd suggest let's start planning: First weekend after Labor Day, right?

So September 9 (Friday) - Sept 11 (Sunday) with perhaps some arrivals on Thursday (or Saturday)?

Safe to start ordering plane tickets and reserving a room?

Strangely enough, due to a typographical error I have discovered I am almost equidistant from Vinton IA and Vinton VA.

Our radio station's annual fundraiser concert is always that weekend. I would very much love to make it back to Iowa for an IJ. Maybe if I retire again.
Cheers

Penciled in on a genuine paper calendar. Wardrobe choices are a plain flannel shirt or a plaid flannel shirt. (The Valkryie outfit gets itchy)

While I am not on here very often, I am here and willing to help out with IJ. Let me discuss with the wife, but it is possible that between Paleo and Myself (possibly others?) we could host a get-together at my place here in Viton on the typical gathering night. I am less than a mile from the hotel.
Unfortunately, I am within the city limits so gun shooting !?!?
I can however offer up beer, eats, and guitar admiration. With luck, I may get the wife to make her Carnitas that some of you have sampled in the past.

Don't know if Me Darling Wife can make it yet. If we leave here after work on Friday she can go. That puts us in Vinton about 9:30 pm if we drive straight threw, no dinner break.
Otherwise I will be there early on Friday. Possibly bunking down at Bob's with the best coffee in town, maybe anywhere. Ask before you eat that brownie.
