East Coast Meetup Oct. 7-9 - MAYBE. NEWS INSIDE

[neonblack]

I have a filmmaker friend that offered to come document the whole trip. She can also drink us all under the table. I told her it might be breaux only but throwing it out there.

[oldangelmidnight]

No sausage parties.
I'd come to either Philadelphia or NYC. I'd drive and be happy to pick up anyone along the way. I'd probably want to stay overnight either place and would be fine to share a hotel room.
Family stuff would preempt my attendance. I wouldn't be able to come right at the beginning of the school year. We might make plans for Yom Kippur but that would actually put me in NYC, anyway.

[Chankgeez]

I don't think neon meant no non-breauxs allowed.

I think he was just alluding to the fact that most of us are "bros". (Meaning that peeps who aren't into musical equipments like us may not really wanna kick it.)

[neonblack]

Fuzzbreaux of all genders are welcome as far as I'm concerned

I just didn't know if we wanted non-ILF peeps.

[DRodriguez]

We had a decent amount of non ILF people at the ILFMW one (mostly Talk Bass) and it worked out nicely. I'm cool with it, but it's all up to whoever is actually hosting (bri)

[smallsnd/bigsnd]

damn i'm the host now. i kinda walked myself into that one! lol
i'd love to host everyone. ESPECIALLY IF MY NEW SPACE IS DONE YAASSSSS but i'm not counting on it... *grumble*
in any case, maybe we can pick a few days/times that would work for most people and go from there? it's tough for me to do that at this current moment but if yall got date ideas i'm game. i will definitely be unavailable from 8/16-8/20 or so.

i can lock down the venue when we have the date - it's no rush to do so though. if we do it there i'll book it and can bring a few amps and hopefully some other philly folks can as well. if my space is looking like it will be good to go by then we can have it there and i have fuckloads of amps and stuff obviously. if we feel like having drums or something i can almost guarantee my band's drummer (andy) would be totally down to come jam. he's great.

also, there will DEFINITELY be pizza. of course.

[Jwar]

I'm not available during those times either Brian.

I vote for September or November even.

Dunno what everyone else is cool with.

[Chankgeez]

Damn, Brian, that's a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong build out.

[DRodriguez]

He's putting real tubes in every floorboard.

Not to push you into it Brian, just felt like it was leaning that way. If you host I'll bring you a NY slice (may be old and gross by arrival)

September on works best for me

[raj007]

September on best for me, too.

[worra]

I'm taking so many trips this year already but I super want to come to this.

Of course, I'm an idiot.

I just didn't know if we wanted non-ILF peeps.

I'd say the more the merrier if the space is big enough and the people are cool.

That seems like good contingency planning.

October 7-8-9 is Columbus Day weekend. Maybe that frees up schedules and makes it more likely that smallspace/bigspace will exist?

[neonblack]

I'm pretty flexible. I could hold off till October. That will give me time to get my setup back to ILF status so I can impress you guys.

[peaches]

October would be lovely, gives me some time to collect myself after my move.

[neonblack]

Brian, do you know if you guys will be touring or anything in October?

Also, we can definitely come up with a backup plan if hosting would be an issue.

Does Columbus day weekend work for everyone?
