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 ________ Here's my thoughts. I will have the Merc unlocked by 6:00 pm. That way people can unload their instruments and other things there and go to the Hitchin' Post after that chore is done.
The Hitchin' Post is one block away. I'm not a micromanager, so I don't care when people eat there. Those kinds of plans will be made as the night goes on. Some people might pick up their food and head back to the Merc. Who knows, it's casual.
I do want to say, though, that Nick, the guy who owns the Merc, is once again, shrugging his shoulders and saying we can use his place for free Friday night. It's usually $100 bucks for an evening, so a hat will be passed around Friday night. Saturday: The Depot is unlocked/people start showing up around I'd say 10:30/11:00.Dinner starts at La Reyna around Our concert starts at 7:00 so I'm thinking around 5:30? I spoke with Carmen (scroll up and there's a post in this thread) and our numbers are right on the verge of having a buffet or each of us ordering off the menu. So she opted for ordering off the menu. But she will reserve the same room for us so we can eat together. If anyone has a better time let me know. The Merc gets unlocked around when you want it to be. Several of us will have the code and the library ladies will be there setting up anyway. How did I do? Did this make sense?

On another note I did stop by the Cobblestone again to see if there had been any cancelations for Saturday and because a few people here have mentioned that the current proprietors did not seem to be aware of Idiotam.
No cancelations for Saturday yet although I'm sure there will be one at some point.
And then in a back-alley way I asked if he was aware of our after-concert gathering by asking how long the bar was open Saturday. He said until 1:00 am. Then he said "thank you very much, Todd".
Which surprised me. But in a good way. It shows that he knows who I am and that he knows a group will be invading the lobby Saturday night. So far, all is well.

On one more note, my daughters are heavily advising me to have us meet at La Reyna's at 5:00, not 5:30. Apparently we need to give them some time for their not so speedy service.

Good idea. Tamarack and I will get the depot locked up when we can. Hopefully in time to meet you there.

Robert (sound guy for Saturday night) and I need to get access to the merc about 3:30pm to make sure everything is set up to his liking and then I'm going to buy him dinner at la Reyna. He will handle the sound, we will have to decide on who does Marty's Jon of getting people on and off the stage, melvas back stage wrangling and who will perform the role of emcee. That okay with you folks?

Unfortunately I need to cancel. My back is out, it hurts to sit and to twist. Only standing up straight is somewhat less painful. So I’m going to my Chiro shortly and from past experience, sitting in a car tomorrow for three plus hours would be a really bad idea. I hate to miss IJ again but I know my limits. Sorry y’all.

That's a damn shame, Kris -- hope you heal quickly.

Very sorry Kris. We were looking forward to your company. Do you want Bill to pick up Luke on his way through or is Luke going to drive himself?

Luke said he’ll go if he can drive Bill’s car.
I will really miss seeing all of you. 😞

We will all miss you and Luke, too. I was looking forward to hearing more about rockets, guitar electronics (to the extent you have had any time in the last three years to dabble), drawing, etc., and getting to seeing some of your family.

Me too, man. I’d even picked out a guitar pedal to bring down and play around with (was gonna bring a Strat and my tube amp as well). 😔

Hey! I thought I was the only one who dressed preppy. Well, I do wear Topsiders. But always with socks.

Saturday weather is looking pretty damp, do we have a Plan B for afternoon at the Depot?

I hit a damn deer last night coming back from the farm. I will have to send an astral projection of myself. If I can pull it off, I will briefly possess Todd and play something in G for everyone. I will checkout what else is in there, maybe he's been holding back on us and I can add in a few other chords.
