I'm coming in at 2:47PM on Friday the 2nd and my flight is leaving 3:15PM on Monday the 5th so we are about synchronized. So I guess we could share a cab.

My advice to you:

- Use your own ears as everybody's hearing and preferences are different.
- Try to audition as much equipment as possible to find your sound.
- Buy used to save money.

holy crap thats impressive. i wish i had the time to take such a nice holiday. excellent pictures. the whole write up was brilliant. since i got out of high school, ive been busy with my college crap. in the summer i start my phd program =/ then im going to lose track of my life for another 5 years. hopefully i can take a nice involved break some time in the future.

i certainly feel more comfortable about the whole thingamajiggy. cyall soon.

The same for the vendors.
I, for one, cannot wait to meet Lawn Gnome! Drinks on me LG! (max 2)

OK, I bought a pass to CanJam via the User CP yesterday. Now what? Do I get a pass or just show up and give my Head-Fi mane at the gate?

If anyone is in NYC on April 17th, don't miss my Band; The Exploration Project live at THE YIPPIE CAFE at 9 Bleeket St off of Bowery at 8.30pm. YES This is the Yippie Cafe now a museum where the whole 1960s counter cultural movement led by like of Abbie and Jerry started. Funny enough it is now a New York State sponsored museum. This is a totally free performance. In June we will also be playing at The Bowery Poetry Club Resturant and Bar which is also located on Bowery a block or two South of Bleeker St. Check out our website at..explorationproj.com. Sorry I just had to add this information. Scottsmrnyc

Thats me confirmed. I even managed to convince Joanne to accompany me.
Maybe it was the idea of staying on for another week in order to see Miami and the Keys.

Fly in to FLL late Friday - Pick up Car.
Hotel Confirmed. Check in Friday - Check out Tuesday
Fly out FLL following Saturday afternoon - should give us plenty of opportunity to play tourist. Conch Fritters, (genuine) Key Lime Pie, and Can Jam '08; Here we come!

Oh crap. Team Florida hasn't planned for that yet!?!?!






Naw, show up at the door and we'll pretend we know what we're doing. I think we'll have novelty huge signs with your username to hang around your neck. Like this poor dog:



We haven't planned for the hats yet though. I think Headroom needs to sponsor those.
