We'll miss Nancy again, that's a bummer. We have more people than I thought, but I do think we can wander down to eat at the Hithchin' post and amble the two blocks back to the Merc Friday evening. We don't all have to go at once, just know that both places are open and we can wander Garrison freely at will.
17 does sound like enough to keep the buffet going at La Reyna Saturday night. The reason I want to keep that is because it's a quicker way to eat and we do have to make it to Garrison in time to perform. If we play at 7:00, what time do you folks suggest? Keep in mind the sound system should be set up when we're around Friday evening.

I don't see that you have me paired up with a woman -- how much extra does that cost? That's more than I thought. Should I keep the Saturday buffet at La Reyna's? Aside from the Byrds, any local guests? Dub, Darryl, Phil, Bod, do you have anyone? Not sure about the Armstrongs. I’ll try to find out. |

I'm not gonna be there, but for those who are making the trip, here are some hints I've collected so that you can travel safely. Be careful out there.    edit: Oops, one more  |

Just checking to see who will be out at my place Friday morning. If not too many I will go with bacon, eggs, coffee, waffles and homemade syrup. Bullets?

I spoke with Carmen today, of La Reyna. The number we have coming is right on the verge of going buffet or menu. So I opted for the menu. But we will be in the private room as usual so we can eat together in in one room. If the Saturday concert starts at 7:00, what time do you folks suggest we start showing up? It doesn't have to be entirely all at once since we'll be ordering off the menu.

Start with guacamole & chips then order the tamales or pork in green chillies. Wash that lot down with a Modelo for me. Thank you.  |

Seems like wandering into LaReyna between 4:30 and 5:30 would allow us to eat a leisurely meal and be able to be on stage at 7:00.
I can fulfill Marty's request.

I plan to show up at the Friday morning bacon/coffee/shooting extravaganza.
Factorychef - could you PM me your address or latitude and longitude?

Just checking to see who will be out at my place Friday morning. If not too many I will go with bacon, eggs, coffee, waffles and homemade syrup. Bullets?Now everyone will show up and there will be less bacon and waffles for Rob. One of the wonders of going to Bob's Big Bonanza of Bacon Breakfast was watching Doug devour rather large quantities of bacon and coffee. Miss that guy, and Dennis too. |

Aside from the Byrds, any local guests? Dub, Darryl, Phil, Bod, do you have anyone? I would guess that maybe Steve Schott and his wife Jean might be interested in attending as well. Not sure about Patty O'Connor. |

On Friday, Saturday or both? It'd be great to have them.

All Right! We are getting close so I thought it good to remind everyone, that we are ready for all of you that can make it, to head over to 1312 A Ave. Vinton, IA Thursday night, September 8, 2022. The wife and I will be ready for you any time after 4:30 with food to be served at 6:00 PM. Since we are not sure how many will be here, the wife will be doing her normal thing and be ready to feed as many as show up. Hope to see you Thursday night. While we have quite a few chairs, it might be a good idea to bring along a lawn chair if you have one.
Otherwise, we are excited to see everyone and hope you all have safe trips getting to and from Vinton! See you soon!

We’ll definitely be there and we have fold-up chairs without arms which are much better for doin’ some pickin’. |

Okay, what are approximate times for Friday and Saturday? So if people show up at random times those days, they might have an idea where to head.
Thursday:
People show up at Phil’s between 4:30 and 6:00
Friday:
Pre-dinner hanging out at the Hitchin’ Post starts at ________
Dinner around ________
The Merc gets unlocked around ________
Saturday:
The Depot is unlocked/people start showing up around ________
Dinner starts at La Reyna around ________
The Merc gets unlocked around________

I think Todd is the only one with answers. If the secret code hasn't been changed, either Todd or I can get us into the Merc as needed. With Friday's evening meal happening inside the Hitchin' Post, are we playing music there too or moving to the Merc? I know Todd already posted about La Reyna times and leaving there for the Merc but I'm not sure which thread it was in. |
