    Oh man. Would so love to be there. But it's Bonfire Night here in the UK. I can't miss the fireworks!

    Seriously, would love to come. But time, distance, and the cost of travel keep me away from my favourite state of the union. Hoping to get back in 2015.

    And Pete, hope to see you in Baldock on 4 December!

    Remember, cafe member, we're tuned in fifths this November,
    Playing banjo is a treasonous plot,
    I see no reason to jam when it's freezin',
    It's hard to keep all those strings taut.

    Nick, Clement's taking me up on it too, but I believe you guys will have to drive separately to my place. Check out my address on one of my Classifieds ads - close to 5 Fwy at Culver Drive in Irvine, easy to get to from 5, 405, 55 (215 to 91 to 55 or 241). We can negotiate p/u time and drop-off time...

    Carpooling made possible by the convenient size of the mandolin! Wouldn't be possible for a Tuba-tasting.

    I guess we could cope with a few banjos and guitars . . . and even a bass or fiddle! But NO Tubas!

    I'll get lost for sure. I'll just hire a car at the airport and drive north.

    Peter, if you're coming in to LAX or staying in a nearby hotel we can get you on the way up. PM me for phone number.

    PM sent Eddie.

    I hope you fellas realise that I'm not a good player so I'll probably be sitting in the background trying to keep up.

    Does anyone know this motel? It looks like it would be easy to get to Steve's place from there.

    Maybe I should get one closer to LAX so I can just dump the bags and go touring.

    I'm not familiar with it but it looks good. Stay off the Freeways on Friday - traffic nightmare... even the surface streets are a horror during rush-hour... Sat and Sun will be a bit easier...
