Boston/New England?

[MichaelM]

Okay, so I couldn't find anyone posting about New England players getting together, so I thought I'd give it a go...

Any interest in Boston or New England-area Taylor owners getting together?

It could be an event or just a jam or even dinner...let me know if you are interested.

i'd just like to bump this up, because it seems like it could be a fun event

[charlemagne52]

Yes. Great idea.

Maybe we can pull some of the NYers like Alchu, Meridian, Guitar dad, etc too.

[MichaelM]

I've been reading the threads about the Chicago and Washington DC events and it seems like both were good events and had a little under ten people. Something pretty casual that's organized without too much fuss sounds like the best idea for the first event. I think something like that would be fun, and with that number of people could be held at someone's house.

So just as as an opening for discussion, I have an apartment in Arlington which is small but could hold that many, and there's a back yard area if it's nice.

I was thinking maybe a Sunday afternoon....could fire up the bar-b-que if people aren't too worried about a gas grill near all that special wood! Could also hold the guitar part inside.

Alternatively, if you want a more formal location, The Music Emporium in Lexington is a possability for an evening event (though probably not a Sunday.) I haven't asked them but they have done Taylor qorkshops in the evening and might be willing.

So that's a starting suggestion...

I'm live in Littleton Mass. I'd love to participate. I have a couple of kids so I would need to schedule it in... but it sounds like fun! Music Emporium is about 1/2 hour drive for me. I used to take lessons there with Larry Ungar.

I'll give this tread a bump
I like the idea

Heres a bump from Southern Mass...

Sounds good....

[MichaelM]

I know of about 9 people who have expressed interest, and there may be more so that's worth getting the ball rolling.

So...

1) Day...Do people prefer a Saturday or Sunday afternoon/evening or a weekday? Let me know or post here. I'm thinking sometime in June. I see the So Cal group is going to meet on the 21st or 28th, maybe we should do the same?! (web hook up anyone?!!)

2) Location: I'm in Arlington, MA very near Lexington (not on the T but accessible by bus!) so I'm willing to offer my place, or find a location around here: there's a church hall I might be able to get, or The Music Emporium is a possability too; the advantage of a store is they have cool stuff too look at, but it might be more inhibiting - no food or drink!)

If you want to move into Boston, or out of Boston I'm fine with that too, but someone has to volunteer a location!

Well you're the only person who's come back with a concrete proposal. How about Saturday July 26th? Anyone else interested?

[solarbean]

I'll second that motion.

I think we should assume for now that it will be in the immediate suburbs of Boston, (i.e. Arlington :eek: thanks Mike) , but that could easily change if it presents inconvenience to anyone.

Hi sorry haven't posted in a while for me I have been working on Sat and Sun so I don't think I'll be able to attend.

There's been little movement on this, so I'll try one last time!
