If you would like to see me in Telluride to get your payment in I will take it as long as it is in an envelope (for safety) including all the info i require please!

See you in Telluride! Connie

It should be up in a couple of months. No later than August. Should be Friday, Saturday, and Sunday again this year. :pirate

Oh… The Waybacks are looking at another special arrangement… but I don’t know who it will be this time. Since they are at home, they can do thos things.

i have been looking at flights out of here. it is a little easier to get there than it is to get back.

LuAnna

Then jsut stay out here! We would love to have you! :pirate

:wave Just a friendly reminder to all returning alumni and guests that you MUST (and I really mean MUST!) have your checks in the mail and postmarked BEFORE July 1st (which is Sunday so get yer checks out on Sat.!) We are currently SOLD OUT with early payments that were taken while in Telluride.

This is especially crucial to ALL that said they wanted to attend with guests PLEASE send your payments as soon as possible so as not to get shut out of this wonderful event. Hurry Hurry Hurry…don’t delay!

See you in S.F.!

Hi Connie :wave

It’s nice to be home after TBF… Megan will be attending this year, Make sure she has that space we spoke about in Telluride…

Now I have to get on that unpacking thing.

Who the F**** pit that big pile of camping gear in my front yard :eek :eek :eek

Time for bed

:cheers

13

you WOULD??? well, I love that idea! …and I love you, too, of course!

:cheers
LuAnna

14

:wave A Big Hi back to you Jerry!!! I’ll put Megan in for sure right away! I was lucky enough to have had the unpacking fairies visit while i was at work! (Thanks Aj! :medal )

15

Um…hello everybody…did you get your checks in the mail by July 1st???
If you did not…do prepare yourself for possible sell-out and return of your check :frowning:
We had such a HUGE response to the event and gathered LOTS of payments while in T-Ride making it VERY crucial that your payments get postmarked prior to the 7/1 cut-off…
if your check is NOT postmarked prior to 7/1 you may want to start hoping & praying for that there are still spots available.

A great big special thanks to Planet Bluegrass for hosting this forum. That means you Brian and Dustin :wave

We feel that it’s time to move ths discussion to another place so as not to use the Planet’s Bandwidth for all of the chatter taking place.

With that in mind we have registered the website abgat.net. There should be something up in the next two weeks or so. Stay tuned here for the “BIG” announcement when we roll out the effort. :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

:cheers
