2) whether or not you want to camp there and/or share in what meals
3) whether or not you want to take duties in planning or "support" activity (meal planning, stage/gathering tent mgmt, snail mail, flyers,etc.)
4) Display/workshop activities you might be interested in hosting or attending
5) any other support (we'll be looking for things such as a small camp trailer for guitar storage/hand washing) you think might be helpful in camping situation
6) whether you or family member might be interested in recreation or transportation support (airport, non-guitar family members, etc.)
7) Ideas you'd have to help make this event successful. (additions to this list, whether or not you could take charge/support them)
8) Would you like to play at Open Mic Saturday nite?
9) Catered BBQ Sat or Do-it-ourselves? (Probly need more than 10 yes' to make this happen)

Plenty of hi-end sound system and acoustic amp/preamp gear
Drive in Camping, volleyball court, slip-n-slide (best around-- *see
pictures), plenty of greenery, gathering shelters, parking
State fair weekend
Arlington motor inn (for those who prefer not to camp) 360-652-9595
Still needed: "Local" volunteers to help with the planning/chores associated
Pictures of the same site we'll use for our gathering (will be 8/22, 8/23,
8/24) at the recent rock & roll "do", Dave's annual pigfest. What a blast!
Dropdead gorgeous property:

Special thanks to JD, Stephen Boyke, Rick Ruskin, Larry Pattis, John Sorell, Tony Weber, Doc, and others.... Obviously, I am depending on several folks to help communicate/coordinate so if I've missed anyone or taken too much liberty in announcing representation early, please accept my deepest apologies. Again for everyone's sake, no commitments should be considered
firm except the facility... I will be directly communicating with each
performer/instructor/displayer in the near future, and a flyer will be snail mailed!
