My deepest apologies to all. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend CanJam due to a work related conflict.
My day job requires that I attend a conference going on during that period and I cannot make it to Florida in time.

I wish things were different because I really wanted to do this seminar with all of you, perhaps next year.

Cheers,
Stephen (thrice)

The smileys were a casualty of the outage. I want my back.

I voted #3:
  • Please sir, can we have amps AND cables?
In fact, though,I'm a lazy sot, and only care about the amp, but I figured no one ever addresses thrice as sir, so wanted to give him a thrill.

Funny stuff indeed. I think I found a minute and a half one time during the last one.

This is a great idea but can I really do this DIY thing even without soldering skilz? I would like to do the amp part, and if they are offered one per day I might do the cable one too. My vote will go to both, then, I guess. Thanks Doctor Science!

Soldering is easier than it seems. I think that starting off can be a bit daunting...that's where this seminar comes in, we'll make it easier. We'll get the materials and tools, you show up and try not to burn your fingers. We'll practice soldering a bit for those who are nervous.

Cables are easier than amps in general, but they offer some challenges as well. If you don't feel confident about the amp thing, then go with cables; there's less precision soldering with cables (generally speaking that is).

Win-win!

In light of Nate and Al's comments, I will leave my spot to someone who will have the time to have some fun at CanJam.

This is a great idea and should be a big hit. Thank you for doing this!
