I might be able to swing an Indiana or Ohio one in perhaps November. That's not too far away from Chicago.

Otherwise, we'd have to think about Mayish 2012 for Chicago.

Although I'm open every weekend in November except the one following Thanksgiving, May-ish would sure make planning a lot easier for most folks I would think..

What timing, I've been hoping for another Alembic meetup in Chicago, and talk has already started.

FWIW, next May would be good, though might be wise to avoid the middle of the month when G8's in town.

Well, I guess there's absolutely no reason why this won't happen, now that I've booked a gig for the 26th of May.

Perhaps we should start banging our beer bottles for a Fall 2012 or Spring 2013 gathering.

Curently being absorbed in the wallow of self pity as we grieve the passing of our first dog . . . I think I can handle a missed opportunity of an Alembic/ Bag End gathering.

Please email me if you live in Chicago and can get together and show me around for a few hours one night or afternoon. Or jam! That would be awesome!

Bumpity bump bump. Jim at Bag End said he'd be willing to host again.

My bass player has a Bassault assembled, and has been in regular contact with them :-)
