Someone said Cleveland - I like that being pretty close

Charleston SC, that sounds nice to me too. What locations would fit the bill?

Steve,

I'll look into that and post some suggestions. Any parameters as far as the type of venue we would be looking for?

Jeff

Guys

Take another look at the first post by Ken. All the parameters are listed there, distilled from what we learned about the Big Sur event.

How about the Hamptons? I have some friends there, actually, I have one friend there. Let me make a call and find out if we could do something.

I'll be there!

You guys should take a look at the Park Plaza Castle in Boston. Looks like a really nice place. Big enough for alot of people. The pics were posted by <DR>. I wonder if that was
Dr. Rythm. What do ya think?

- well if it's driving distance from me, I'll be sure to bring lots of toys !

( Variax acousitic, GR-20, HPD-15, etc )

If I'm free I'll be there.

I think a Boston location might be really expensive. somewhere along the shore from Maine to Virginia there's a Hidden Barn East. There's one nor far from me, but the owners aren't cool enough, and the acoustics are a real problem, but the space is great and the surroundings are right, so I know there are more places like that. It sounds like we're on the way to the next one, which I am all for being a bit different, just because the Big Sur experience was entirely unique. Tom's small workshops idea is appealing. Perhaps a multi-room venue? Lots of converted churches, Arts' Centers, etc., throughout the Northeast.

Wow, how sad is that! To live in a place like that and not be cool.

What a waste of Paradise!

I agree, Ron, there has to be a place like that out East. I Believe...I Believe.....

Acoustics? We don' need no stinking acoustics!

Ronjazz~~what about holding the Bose Bash 2 in your hometown~~Mystic. Con. ~~~

That's one beautiful setting isn't it~~

Mystic Conn. I'm down. Close and it is beautiful.

Yeah, Ron, how about that new "studio/outbuilding" at your new house?

Charleston sounds like the place.

BUMP !@!

About Big Sur... I totally concur with ST concerning the fact we didn't separate into a few more one on one's or small group musical interaction(s)...

Would have loved to have jammed with most everyone there in a more intimate setting... Everyone's skills were so a-tuned to their individual personalities that performing without an actual sit-down audience might have encouraged more of the Bose-O folk to open up ...

In truth, the Big Sur event (when you really think about it) was very much concert or performance oriented... (which was wonderful because the Hidden Barn naturally facilitated that approach) ...

Maybe this time at the East Coast gathering, instead of separate cabins, there should be bunk beds...

Then no doubt some jamming would be going down in the 'wee' hours of the night (only without the L1)

Hi Joseph,

MISS YOU.

One of the venues on our short list has half the beds in cabins, 16 beds per cabin. The jam sessions would be friggin' 'uge!!!

Perfect! We'll need 4 to 6 L1 systems per cabin

Yo Jo,

Can you hip the Big Sur folks to the Fall Conference on the chance that some would like to come?

Ken
