2011 Nashville Roundup

Sep 29 Oct 2

Hachland Hill Inn
5396 Rawlings Rd – Joelton, TN

That’s right, it’s the event so awesome it has two iconic Gretsch names right there in the title — the 2011 Nashville Roundup. Join us for three-plus days of great food, great friends and great times.

Once again there will be live updates from the event, but what happens at the barn stays at the barn. And there will be stuff happening at the barn. Be there.

We will gather Thursday night, with a special grill-out, setup time, and relaxation only possible that evening. You really gotta be there Thursday night.

Also, we will have t-shirts available for purchase at time of registration. All prices are below. We will gather payments and place the order.

  7. On The story so far...

    Darn it, first Deke is there now I find that if I’d’ve gone via Indiana I might just have got a ride in that great Caddy!

    A lot of hard work Tim, but I’ve no doubt it’ll be well worth it. Well done, Sir!

    Hope to catch some video.

  8. On The story so far...

    To all going to the Roundup, travel safe and have yourselves a ball.

  19. I just got home about an hour ago, and I had the time of my life. If you’ve never been to a Roundup, you’re depriving yourself of some wonderful happenings and memories.

  20. Item Description: Puppy Type: Tired 1 ea.

    We need another day.

    AND A LITTLE HAT! (Okay, what happens in the barn….)

  21. Got home 3:00PM CST, and really tired. Slept for about 4 hours on the couch with my poor 85 lb. Labrador puppy dog who really missed me. Sigh, now back to school work.

    Only 362 days till the next round-up.

  22. Wayulp, made it back to the Ahia boosh and my beloved Tubwompette. I’d like to do anpther more comprehensive post later but for now, thank you very much to everybody for being so nice to me the way that folks are before they get to know me. What a beautifully fabulous buncha folks you all are.

  23. Huh? It’s over? Already? Time flies when you’re having a blast.!

  24. Finally Home… tired but I’m still walking about 3 feet off the ground. Thanks everyone!

  25. Home @ 1:30 AM, a 12.5 hour drive.

    I had fun.

  26. There are not enough words…but I’m workin’ on it!

  27. We had an Incredible time!

  28. Here’s some pics from the day so far!

  34. I would like to thank Mark Zimin for his fantastic pictures. If you haven’t seen all of them you should.

  35. I’m with you, Curt - Mark’s pictures are great. We also had the pleasure of his company for an afternoon after you guys left.

  36. I’ll second, third and fourth what everyone has said about Mark’s pictures. Great work from a talented photographer! Thank you Mark.

    And once more, a big thank you goes out to the universe for whatever it did to bring all of those great folks together at that time and place.

    You’re all some of the finest people I’ve ever met and I’m looking forward to seeing you all , and hopefully more GDPrs who couldn’t make this Roundup, again next year.

  37. I’m not sure it’s allowed for one man to have as much fun as I did. Counting the days to the next one…
