Just over 15 hours for me. :) It's entirely possible that I could make it. I've been meaning to get out to Champaign, IL which is only 3hrs away. Maybe this will work out.

Cool, September I might be in the area. If Butcher can do those, I can too.... How far is New Harford from there ?

About 13 hours

Butcher is everywhere...

I have seen the flux capacitor in his red BMW convertible though - I think that is the secret ingredient.

2 1/2 -3 hours from me, maybe less.

Do you support "couch" tourism ? :)

It is now set.

I have found a few local drummers & bass players, but if you have any buddies who do either please invite.

Me & a certain bass player will be there - with some gear :)

A mere 9 hours, 14 minutes away...according to Mapquest. I'll be there (+1 on the "if I'm still alive").

Hey Twin Cities folks...caravan?...motorhome?

I'll be there not sure if I'll bring any gear but maybe my 100 watt Matamp so I can open it up and melt some shit.

Yeah, that town ain't gonna know what hit it.

I have not posted guidelines for the jam yet but I would like to keep with a past rule of guitar amps that are 30 watts or less please.

Sounds like fun!

Oh come on. Johnny needs the clean headroom!

Somebody bring the PowerSoak!

This was noted at past midwest Jams & I did not hear any one balk then?

I thought you said this was a BIG room, brah.

It's your party - lay down the law! :) Who wants ear-bleeds from "I want you to surrender" or "Mustang Freebird" anyway? If this "big room" is akin to a high-school gymnasium, volume is automatically going to be a problem.

If I might offer a suggestion: backline the stage with an assortment of pre-approved amps and be done with it. I've done this at weekly jam sessions with great success. It also reduces change-up time between acts dramatically. One overpowered instrument f***s up the whole mix for everybody. You have the right idea.

Where is it written that a 100-watt amp has to be turned up all the way? My 6V6 Valvetechs are only 22 watts; if you don't think they can knock down a horse at 10 paces, you're mistaken.

Besides, like I said, Johnny's just wanting maximum clean headroom for those Knopfler-esque lines he likes to play.

Certainly low powered amps are not much quieter volume wise than there higher powered cousins. Like chris said - it's a definitely a headroom thing.
