I am open on location. Knowing that Dave lives on the other side of Asheville and some others live out that direction a more central location like Winston-Salem might be better. Of course I wouldn't mind a good excuse to spend a weekend in Asheville either.

The next two months are pretty busy for work; and there's a lot of other stuff going on too. It would also be nice to find out when Alan will be back home and maybe schedule around him. chuck Member Username: chuck Post Number: 74 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Friday, February 16, 2007 - 4:06 pm:    Thanks for the response. The reason I suggested Shomakers was his central location and the fact that he is the only alembic dealer in N.C.. He is also interested in a Alembic promotion for his store.The two Shomaker bros. are also working musicians and the store specializes in vintage instruments. Winston Salem would work for me,maybe,any further probably not.As I do not travel long distance very well due to a heart condition. I will however go with the flow of the majority and try my best to be there. Feel free to also contact me at my e-mail address in my profile. 2400wattman Advanced Member Username: 2400wattman Post Number: 286 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Friday, February 16, 2007 - 6:38 pm:    Count me in. I'm an hour and a half from Asheville, and I could probably get to Burlington if that's the majority rule. precarius Intermediate Member Username: precarius Post Number: 123 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Friday, February 16, 2007 - 8:31 pm:    Me to. I'm about two hours from Burlington or Asheville so either place would be fine for me. I do like the idea of not having to haul amps though.

However, I probably won't be back from Korea until the late spring, possibly early summer. Don't hold off on my account - do what you guys want to do, and I'll go the next one. BTW, I played a gig last night, and two people approached me about my bass - one of them actually knew it was an Alembic (he owns a Spoiler). Amazing - first time that's ever happened.

It just would'nt be right if he or any other NC forum member was'nt there. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 4819 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 28, 2007 - 8:38 pm:    That sounds good to me. chuck Member Username: chuck Post Number: 77 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Wednesday, February 28, 2007 - 8:52 pm:    Me to.
