That's always so nice of you to do that every year, Mark and Joy. This year there doesn't appear to be anything like a wedding or a reunion or something coming up that weekend. We shouldn't have any room problems.

With a week to go, I guess I should ask if anyone wants me to bring anything special?
I'll stop by Millstream and pick up some oddities from their brewing (now in cans instead of bottles). Maybe a few snacks from the Amana stores.
Are there any special requests? Guitars someone wants to try out? Music gear (Mics, etc.)?
Speak up now or it may not happen!

I am sad to report that I will not be attending IJam this year due to circumstances beyond my control. I hope everyone who shows up will have a great time. Pick a tune for me.

I was thinking of bringing my TC Helicon Harmonizer. It needs an extra guitar & mic cable to be used. Space is limited as I am flying so I would need a little help there.

I guess I misunderstood Alan's post. I thought he was saying he was not bringing a guitar because he is flying.

I read it the same way. In fact I googled up "TC Helicon Harmonizer" to see what kind of guitar it was. It's not a guitar.

A more careful reading of the missive before sending might have avoided the confusion, but then it wouldn't have been me... or something. Anyway, I will be flying with the only guitar I play these days: My Dad's notch head Fender box (that came with a heavy, hard vinyl covered case lined inside with bright yellow fake fur which I still use) that my mother bought him in 1971 or 72 for $150. The hard case is a beast so I will be flying with a soft one and a carryon. I didn't want to check a bag and space is limited so although I would like to bring the harmonizer, It requires two guitar cords and two mic cords and I didn't want to lug around a bag full of cables.
This is probably the first song I played with it and when I heard those harmonies move, I was hooked. I was slightly off pitch and had a bad timing hiccup but, focusing on the harmonizer, it did a great job.

I'd love to hear you and your harmony boxes live.

I'm sure extra cables wouldn't be a problem to find. I usually have a few along that are never needed. It sounds like a fun thing to play with.

Robert, the sound man has a ton of cables. Joe and I have at least a half-ton each. There’ll be no shortage of cables.

If you lined up and stretched out all the cables at Idiotjam there would be enough to circle the moon and back.
I'm anxious to hear your video, Alan. I just have to wait until I get home.

Well quelle bummaire, as we used to say in French class. The cute little apartment I had booked in downtown Vinton (across from the Rondavoo) turned out to be double-booked due to some website issues. Luckily I was able to get a room at the Cobblestone, so the rest of you staying there will have to put up with my snoring. I was looking forward to staying in downtown Vinton again, and walking over to grab coffee and a pastry at Brew & Chew.
Oh well. But I am also willing to provide chauffeur service as needed, from the Cobblestone to Garrison or to the Depot, etc. I should have room for three passengers plus guitars, or 5 passengers and teeny guitars.
I will be rolling in sometime on Thursday.

I had to switch flights so I will be arriving at CID around 12:30 or so Thursday. Rather than read 8 pages (I am still at work) to find it, where & what was happening on Thursday afternoon? I need to call the CS and get me a room one of these days but have been procrastinating. I hope to pack light with a guitar and a backpack. Any early semi-reliable weather forecasts? I don't want to over or under dress as I get cold easily these days.
