Mike, I thought you were going to wait to post about this. but you may be right in posting now. this way some of the guys from the outlying areas can start making plans to come. outlying areas meaning - East coast, West coast, Canada, and the Gulf Coast States. oh, and we don't want to leave out the GDPer's across the Atlantic. so, come on guys and gals, start making plans now. the snow should be off the ground by the end of May.

Curt, you're not going to have to worry about traffic jams in Little Falls, Minnesota. as tartan phantom once said, "if you find yourself in the middle of a Minnesota prairie, your there." oh, wait a minute, that's where "jukebox"'s studio is . Little Falls has a few more buildings. honestly though, Curt, there's not that much traffic in that part of the state. now down here where I live, that's a different story. so, come on.

if that's what your little heart desires.
jukebox is about 2 hours north of me here in the Twin Cities. and Austin is south of here about the same distance(give or take) down I-35. but yeah, you should be able to include that in your itinerary if that's what you'd like to do.

Juke, I'm planning on making it. I'll drive anywhere for free food. And I'm looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the boys.
Will the throne at the drum kit be open, or are you gonna' have people sitting there who can actually play them? I've failed miserably at guitar, so I thought I'd try my hand at the traps.
And folks coming from a distance will want to check out the world's largest ball of twine after they tour the Spam Museum. I think that's in Darwin.
