list as of 7:20 AM Friday August 25 2006

I just heard from guitarist Jef Cierniak who says he'll be there!

As long as it's on Oct 29-30 and not too much north of Boston put me down for a go. If via train/car from NYC can bring a guitar or two or three and probably a cool pedalboard.

Dunno 100% about the wife and dog shaped family member but probably not since that weekend falls in-between our planned east/west commutes anyway.

May invite a classical guitar monster and co-worker though? He'd love to learn how to get a killer nylon tone with the L1 and shred some Bach or something.

Hey Joe (hey, that could be the name of a song!)

Definitely bring your friend. We'd love to have a classical player join us.

Jeff Lawson, Director or Marketing, Professional Systems Division

(and a great guy)

will be attending.

I put this up as a separate topic, will paste here:

There is some concern about keys on the chat about the conference announcement. We'll bring the following:

GEM ProMega3 piano (88, great grand and Rhodes)
Nord Electro 63 (great Hammond/Leslie, Wurlitzer, D6 clav)
Stands and pedals

What's not to love?

Works for me, Cliff! Always wanted to try/hear your rig.

We should try and get some congas for the conference along with a tray of percussion toys.

Don't make me say it....

I guess I'll have to fly out ( 14 hour drive ) but I'll still bring my HPD-15 ( ROland Drum unit )

Ken,

Are you narrowing down the location any?

Makes a difference as to what airport we all need to pick.

I'm thinking the Providence airport for less congestion,
but if we wind up gathering north of Boston,
that will be a long way.

Do you have any recommendations to make it any easier...traffic-wise?
Is the Providence area really any easier to drive around in?
Bear in mind, I'm used to driving in the sticks.

Hi All,

We're very close to making an announcement on location.

In all liklihood, here are the distances and approximate travel times for the three airports to the conference.

Boston (BOS) 28 miles, 45 minutes
Providence (PVD) 53 miles, 60 minutes
Manchester (MHT) 74 miles, 75 minutes

Boston is the hardest to navigate and the most likely to have serious traffic delays with the Ted Williams tunnel still out of commission. There's a good chance it'll be back in operation by the conference at which point the navigation is very easy and traffic concerns very moderate.

Providence airport is very easy, with interstate highway the whole way, no cities to navigate through, and a low probability of traffic delays.

Manchester is also very easy with interstate the whole way and a low probability of traffic delays.

(Note to engineers: no fair triangulating.)

Ken

Too late. I'm an inactive pilot and have the FAA Sectional Charts for the entire Northeast on my office wall. Took me all of three milliseconds to get up and start looking at them.

I won't let the solution I found out of the bag, but I think I might be able to smell the ocean.

If I'm right, this is nearby:

Andrew,

Back to the calculator!

Ken

Considering I was using a string on a map (straight line distance) I'm not surprised I was wrong.

hmmm...so using only deduction (no maps) and considering over-the-road distances....

Well, it has to be somewhere in Massachusetts, because anywhere in NH, Maine or Connecticut that is 74 miles from Manchester is automatically more than 28 miles from Logan.

It's going to be somewhere inside or near the I-495 belt road, because most of that road is approximately 28 miles from Logan.

It also is not going to be north of the city, because IIRC you don't need to use the Ted Williams tunnel to go north from the airport.

Starting to sound like the Mothership to me...

BTW for the forum members, that lighthouse is in Scituate, southeast of Boston.

Man, Ken!

I live in Scituate and, when I saw Andrew's picture of the Scituate Lighthouse, I thought I'd died and gone to Heaven! Imagine having the Bose L1 Musicians conference right in your very own backyard!

The Jester

Andrew,

You're getting waaarrrrrrmmmmerrrrr...

Jester, I hope you'll join us. It won't be far for you.
