I'll definitely be at ACL. PM me some time before the festival and let me know if you want to meet up.
Deed, there's a chance I'll be playing at a Vandy battle of the bands in April. It may be reminiscent of those days. Also, my songwriting class is performing here sometime in April. With all the work I have to do to wrap up this degree, that'll be all the gigging I see in the near future.
Spoke with Phila this afternoon (what a great lady), and made the preperations for staying Friday/Saturday nights.
Just hope I can get both G's ready to rumble!
Anybody in my neck of the woods wanna carpool?
Hope to see you there, Joe! We have much in common - I'm a photog with a C-class and played a Hofner bass in one of my old bands!
Thanks JB! I'll be sure to bring my Höfner along.
Looking forward to meeting you and other GDPs too!
Did I miss something? Is there a set date?
October 16 - 18, 2009. There will be a dedicated thread, so watch for it!
Cool beans! The 19th is my b-day and Phila said that's also her wedding anniversary. So hopefully I'll have good luck with door prizes. 
Awesome...I can make that date. Man, National Boss day, I hope my Boss doesn't mind.
I hope Bruce doesn't mind.
Hell, Bruce can even come out if he wants.
If you all decide for the summer like last year please fill my mail box. October will be great though. No more sweating on new gretsches.
Just please let me know way ahead of time. Last year I got in on it just by a fluke.
Do hope to see you there Joel. Have to show you how my Gretsch Corvette did with the Super-Tron.
The date is set for October 16 - 18, 2009.

I'll be there with a few of my guitars and amps as well. I do want to check out your Vette
Looking forward to my 1st Roundup! Gonna bring what I got, and see what happens. Will be great to put faces with the screen names
Hey guys, any news on price and sleeping arrangements. I can bring a tent and camp out outside, almost prefer to, or whatever was done last year. Just trying to stay ahead of the game here. Also, is this gonna be a bring the wife event? I know last year there were some wimmins around.
Man, I'm excited.
Me too! Is it a 'wife and kid(s)' affair?
Our company's supposed to move our entire 'plant' by October. 'Hope we're done in time.
I might put in for that weekend now! Really excited about meetin' some Great Gretsch Folks in such beautiful surrounds.
I guess I'm flying in... because driving at least 16 hours over 1000 miles just doesn't appeal to me! hahahahaa!
I can visit my friends at Southbound RS Custom Guitars just outside Nashville as well... a good trip idea! No doubt about that! ;^)

DDBone, kids and wives are welcome but be prepared to have a L O N G sit down with Phila. Last year we did a group signup and I assume we'll do the same when it gets closer.
Also, there is a MONSTER hill from the house to the barn but I'm sure there will be plenty of cars for people that are unable or don't want to mountain climb.
Great, thanks for the link Curt. I need to get a little more aggressive with my search skills!
I ask about the 'fam' option, 'cause I always try to plan for the possibility. I'll keep me eye out for the official times and sign-up notices.
Thanks!
Wifey says she doesn't want to go. Looks like another free weekend for me!
Hope to get out to that park which has a replica Parthenon, for some shots.
Centennial Park. You must go inside and visit Athena. Oh yes, Nashville is full of surprises.
So, come on down, y'all. Fall is beautiful here in Tennessee.
I always pictured Athena as having less of a neck. Or is it a bad angle?
...better?
Don't think you can get any less of a neck than that, Deed.
Aye, that's a chuckle there.
