Oct. 7 - Golden HFC Jam - Mpls

[sirDaniel]

yaba!

TEDS HAYSEED 15!

I'll bring the JCM800 combo, or the VAC V1, or the AC30HW, or the '67 deluxe, or the microcube, or the powerblock, or the GNX4....

But seeing as I've been so dependable... ... better not count on me.

[BruceM]

I learned yesterday that we have to clear out of the banquet room no later than 12:30 PM. So, I'm thinking of going from 6:00 until 11:30 instead of 7:00 - 12:00.

I've heard from a few more out-of-towners as well. Book those rooms, folks, they're going fast!

And of course you'll want to be here on Friday for the festivities at the 4-3-2-1 Club and Nye's Pollonaise Room. You DON'T want to miss the World's Most Dangerous Polka Band! See them while they're still alive!

Admit it: You just want to cut out early for the Scissor Sisters show.

Hmmm...

Hmm,

They need a bass player. Full stage makeup improves my looks. I have polka bass experience.

I wonder . . .

[Cheap Chick]

Hey fellas and gals -

Ohhh... those photos - good times! good times!

I will be there! Can't wait to see everybody - most of all, the birthday boy!!! And Nye's is THE happening spot!

Can't wait to see you all!

Robb - can we play Pecan Pie?

Gonna start pricing out flights now.

Nye's is a blast. And remember there's the white-haired piano kareoke lady in the next room - I'm thinkin' about bleeting Bali Hai or Climb Evry Mtn

[robbie]

I just made sure that Toni and I are in for the entire weekend (of course Saturday was a lock but Nye's on Friday? forget about it!!!, Toni can polka better than anyone I know... : ).

Dave, Polka bass experience?! we need to talk about that...

Pam, I'm all over Pecan Pie (Golden Smog right?).

all youse fence sitters really do need to seriously think about making this!!!

[BruceM]

REMINDER: Tomorrow is the last day for the $89 rate at the host hotel. Don't forget to call! They may extend the deadline if you're persuasive, but I wouldn't count on it.

Hotel info is listed in an earlier post in this thread.

[elduave]

Alrighty then, I'm in. Flight and hotel booked!

[BruceM]

Excellent! I can't wait to see the elduave show again!

This party is shaping up nicely, folks. I've heard from numerous non-posters (both HFC Board non-posters and on-this-thread non-posters) who MIGHT be at this party , including some Twin Cities newbies. I'll be posting some jam-session details next week, and hope to get the music portion of the party loosely organized. Or tightly controlled, however it works out.

I REALLY can't wait to see all my friends & family here. Some new, some old.

Oh, BTW, the room capacity is 104, so get there early, or you'll be stuck in the bar, or out on the patio smoking.

[sirDaniel]

Nyes bar was just voted best bar in America.

No shit!

[Cheap Chick]

Bought my plane ticket last night! Got my digs all sorted out!

Minneapolis, here I come! Watch out!

Yes, Robbie - Pecan Pie/Golden Smog - V=G/C Ch=C/G/D

I CAN NOT WAIT!!!

[BruceM]

The hotel rate's been extended until Friday this week. Anyone else still looking for flights? It's not too late folks, and we're only two weeks away!

[BCR Greg]

Not gonna make it, I'll be giving a Robinlover's tour at the Robin factory in Houston with Dave Wintz. Sorry to unsurprise you, Bruce!!! I like how you "expected me to show up without warning" or whatever you said. HAHA

I will make one of these times, buddy, and I plan on bringing a nice host gift. Do the rental cars handle as well there as they do in Chicago?

you would deny the Queen a trip to the MEGAMALL???!!??

fer a stoopid bird?? What are you prince o the audibons now??

[BruceM]

Hey sweetness,

Rental cars are not required in this fair city. You get chauffeur service, and the giant rodents stay in the sewers, where they belong. I don't need no more early morning hallucinations!

Wish you could be here, but you know you'll be treated in grand style when you arrive!

[BCR Greg]

You are the only guy I will allow to refer to me as "Sweetness"! LOL

Ricky still swears that it was a dog, I think it was a rat. Whatever it was, it was lucky I had had 5 cups of coffee.

[BruceM]

Perfect timing for the party!

Who new that I would pick the next "happening place" for this party? Not I.

I just read that too!! seems I should show up after all even if BCR Greg has bailed on us....I was afraid of being the only longhair in the place.

[BruceM]

perhaps this will become an outlet to book our various bands, eh? I'll work on the manager, and try to make sure he checks out our jam session.

[BruceM]

OK all you out-of-town travelers. Inquiring minds want to know. When will you arrive?

I know of a few: Conrad and my brother Gary both arrive on Thursday evening, and will be chauffered from the airport by yours truly. Pam arrives early Friday morning and will be chauffered by Sid.

Anyone else need help with travel accomodations upon arrival? If you don't already have my contact info and location, send me an email or PM.

There will be a few errands to run on Friday, but I'm thinking that the 4-3-2-1 Club party will start fairly early with those that are simply hanging out. Who's going to be there and when? I want to make sure I've got enough bratwurst!

[MCChris]

Planning on rolling in around 5-ish on Friday and going straight to the 4321. PM me with the exact address please so I can punch up one of them "internet maps."
