Early June is the better of the two choices for me. I'll bring pictures of my since-sold Alembics–the stable is empty. Mike | ||

Bracheen, are you a Bubble puppy fan? Hot Smoke and Sassafras was the hottest rock song ever recorded, are they back together? Sir David T | ||

Hey David, yes I am, yes it was, and kinda off and on. They get together every now and then for a special show. Rox Cox doesn't play with them anymore as he has some health issues. Todd Potter recently announced that he would no longer be in the line up either. Both were at the Threadgills show last October with Todd on guitar and Roy making an appearance for a special award honoring the band. They are planning a 2013 show. | ||

| rustyg61
Senior Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 820 Registered: 2-2011 |
LOL! You may be right Michael! There hasn't been a Texas gathering in what, 3 or 4 years? The intensity of a Lone Star 'Lembicians gathering is not something the cosmos can handle every year! I'm willing to take my chances though, I'm pretty sure I will be no worse for the wear afterwards, & probably come away with some great friends & great memories! | ||

Any ideas on where to have this and has a firm date be agreed upon? I'd like to see if the guys I've been playing with can make it so we can have some jam time. | ||

Advanced Member Username: wayne Post Number: 211 Registered: 5-2002 |
I've heard from John (SMUProf), our usual host, and he is unavailable on 06/08. If we stick with that Saturday, we'll need to get a "venue". Mike, would you have the opportunity to check into the space at the Jam Station again? Any other ideas? C-Ya..............wayne | ||
| olieoliver
Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 2733 Registered: 2-2006 |
I'll need to check with my "event director", alias Mrs. O. But I have more than enough room at the new casa! Oh, by the Mike, did I mention I moved? LOL I am in Garland now, since Dec 1st. Let me interject though, it won't be the same without JT there. | ||

So Olie, you and Mike are almost neighbours now ?  I feel the urge... no, desire to visit you folks again, but have no clue right now, if that will work out... a given date might help a bit. And cash, lots of it, LOL ! cheers, Christian | ||

Senior Member Username: groovelines Post Number: 747 Registered: 4-2003 |
Olie - No, you didn't mention. Then again, I haven't asked. My bad. Garland? Just had to be closer to Taste of Italy, didn't you? Wayne - yes, I can check. Christian - Will you be bring Sue? | ||

Man! I would hate to miss out on this. Got a room full of toys which cuts down the cost (no rental) and no load in/out for drums, PA, keyboards. But I'm out of town on 6/8 - is 6/15 a no-go for others? | ||
| rustyg61
Senior Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 824 Registered: 2-2011 |
I have a gig on 6/15. 6/8 is my only open weekend in June | ||
| smuprof
Intermediate Member Username: smuprof Post Number: 159 Registered: 12-2003 |
Since Olie's got new digs, I'll have to pass on 6/8 with major regrets. Can't stand in the way of expanding the Texas Alembic Mafia! Let me know about the next one . . . | ||

Senior Member Username: groovelines Post Number: 748 Registered: 4-2003 |
Sorry John, it would great if you could make it. Of course, you could always leave your key under the mat while you're out of the house. Just sayin'. I'm going to ask The Jam Station for June 8. IICR they have 4, or 8 hour blocks. I liked the room we had the last time. Spacious and a PA. I don't recall the price, but it seemed reasonable when others shared the cost. Load-in was easy (they have an elevator!). It's not too late if anyone wants to host, but you'll need a serious amount of room if more than four guys show up with basses and gear. Olie, would your band mates be interested in coming? | ||

Hey guys, I made some calls. If you will, send a private email to me if you're interested and I'll forward more specific information. I'd like to keep some of this off line, if that's alright. Mike | ||

To the community at large: TEXAS is definitely on in Dallas for Saturday, June 8. We'll be at mi casa, and we've already got a great turn out - at least 7 Alembicians are committed, with possibly more. Some seriously nice instruments in the group (looking forward to the photos). All day Saturday, probably not a late night. Some traveling will be in Friday night before and we'll hang out then as well. We'll make room if any others can make it in Friday night and need a place to stay. If you can join us, let us know. Shoot me or groovelines an email and we'll get you location and time details. It's been a couple of years since the last TEXAS round of awesomeness, and we want to make this the best one yet. Come out, bring your toys and play with us! | ||

John, I can't wait to experience my fist Alembic Gathering! Thanks so much for offering your home to host the event & to put Doc & I up for the night! This is going to be so much fun! | ||
| smuprof
Intermediate Member Username: smuprof Post Number: 161 Registered: 12-2003 |
Happy to. Can't speak for myself, but I can promise you've never met nicer guys than Wayne, Olie and Mike. | ||

Intermediate Member Username: smuprof Post Number: 162 Registered: 12-2003 |
Clarification - I was speaking only of the Dallas group. David and Christian also fit that characterization - nice guys you want to know! In fact, seems to be the case with all Alembicians. Maybe we can "borrow" the old Honda slogan - "You meet the nicest people on an Alembic" | ||
| rustyg61
Senior Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 840 Registered: 2-2011 |
The Honda slogan definitely fits! Every Alembic player I have ever met has been super nice & great people! When I toured the Mothership I met Wolf & his wife for supper the night before & he invited me, a total stranger, back to his house & let me play all of his amazing Alembics. Total class act! | ||

I will post it on You Tube & put a link to it here. If anyone objects to having the video public on You Tube I can make it private where you have to have the link to get to it. |
