Proteus' Basement Mini-Meet?

Jun 15, 2008 1:47 p.m. Proteus:

I know there's a lot of activity in GDP Meets, which is cool as all git-out. Mini-meets may turn out to be a major additional addictive substance, enabling additional GAS.

With no intention of distracting from anyone else's plans (our geography is so diverse, that ought not to be a problem), I toss out the notion of a micro-mini-meet for Ohio River Valley types at my place in southern Indiana.

I know Bear, FarmerBrown, and Suprdave, and several more central-northern Hoosiers are pretty close. Southern-central Illinois, Kentucky from Lexington to Louisville to E-town to Owensboro are all within a reasonable circle.

And of course anyone who'd want to come from further away is welcome.

But I'm thinking a Saturday thing (motels in town for stayovers if appropriate). Plenty of room for jamming in the basement, and the studio is there, and ... well, a few guitars. The Caddy's in the garage, and the best Mexican restaurant ANYwhere is down the street.

Anyone wanna?

Any ballpark idea when this might take place?

I'd love to see the Proteus collection of 45,236 guitars! Roughly half of them are Gretsches too.. right?

Your working on old data Tartan. I'm pretty sure that's just last week's haul.

Dave, I got your email, but when I replied, it came back with an undeliverable address. Have you changed email addresses and not updated your GDP profile?
