grin Are we basically agreed on the 23rd, then? Just cause I need to ask off.
Morelin: Right now, no. We want to give everyone at least a week to settle on a date. That will be next Monday as I have suggested.
To make it as fair as possible, I thought everyone should have some time to consider the dates, and then we can compile the data/dates and go with the date that is most popular.
For those of you who have done this before (ATTN: FCM!;)) Am I doing this right so far? And I also don’t wanna do this on my own, okay? I could use some help here, please!
Q
Are we doing Clapton’s version instead? I have it on CD somewhere. Guess I’ll have to practice or something.
My background tends to be hard rock/heavy metal, naturally. So any folk music will just be me improvising. Which may be amusing.
Quasi, so far so good - Setting a date is the first step. Picking the location is the next. Menu is another biggie.
And I’m not saying this to influence the location - seriously - but the Atlanta area is too far for me to make a day trip, and I can’t be doing an overnighter. Should something happen farther south in GA some time, I’ll make every effort to attend, but it’s about 5.5 hours from my house to ATL, and much as I love you all, you ain’t worth 11 hours on the road. 
Heh, we should do one down in Savannah. But that’s a bloody miserable drive.
Well, the Florida Lottery is $23M - if I win, I can afford to fly in for a fest. Guess that means I should buy a lotto ticket, huh?
Try one of those scratch and wins, you may win enough for airfare.
Well, I’m hereby submitting my application for honorary GA Doper membership. You guys are lucky to be able to count Quasimodem in your number. Go easy on him when he cranks up the Johnny Cash.
To be there in person would be a blast, but definitely I’ll be there in spirit.
Johnny Cash? Hell yea!
TLG , my friend! Not only are you an honorary Georgian, you also have a standing invitation to come and visit me any time you want (as long as you bring Icy with ya! - No just kidding:). Either of ya, Zennie and any of my Aussie buds are welcome!)
Here’s a little taste of what you’ll be missing…
“Well, my daddy left home when I was three…”
I have that one down pat!
Your friend
Quasi
Dammit , that was supposed to be TLD not TLG!
Sorry! I know better!
Q
GMR: Looking forward to our jam! Any fan of Mr.Cash is a friend o’ mine!
Q
Y’all all seem to know each other… but can I come too???
Just gittin’ together and listening to people jam sounds awesome…
I have an acoustic guitar that I can’t play very well, but I can strummmmmmm… and hummmmm … or better yet, let someone borrow…
Would love to bring food,
Aug 23 is fine with me 
If we have enough players, maybe we should break it up into little jam sessions.
And I don’t really know anybody, nuthin, I just pretend like I’m an oldbie. My post count lets me get away with that…
And hey, if we have a keyboardist and all these guitar players, “Freebird” can be our big finale! What cop in Georgia is going to stop a band playing “Freebird”?
(What? Stop hitting! Ow!)
FCM, I understand: No problem.
Q
That Quasi up there should have been edited out. My eyelids are still glued together, sorry!

Of course! And as for all of us “knowing each other”, I have never met a person in this thread other than here on SDMB, so for me, and most of the others, it will be a first meeting.
Keep watching the thread, nuthin’, and thanks!
Quasi
nuthingboutnuthing, come on in! We’re all just now getting acquainted!
Cripes, I guess I better learn Free Bird, eh? Well, I got a month or so to practice…
I suppose I better learn something, lest I embarass myself! Wait, I have no shame. Nevermind.
