Who all is going to St. Louis?
Well not me. . . .this year anyway. This will be our first missed convention in 9 years. The high gas prices have put a halt to us being able to make it this time. Besides, Linda has decided to go back to college and work on her degree. So I'm gonna take the money we'd spend going to St. Louis and put it toward her schooling. Also, I'm scheduled to work at the station labor day weekend. I'll really miss seeing you guys. Hope those of you going have a great time.

Being retired and not "independently wealthy" my wife and I will not be doing any traveling this summer and sadly that includes a trip to St Louis for the convention.
We are not in the "poor house", just the costs of traveling, including lodgings, are prohibitive for anything except a "must travel" situation.

I may go. I have a gig that weekend but I'm thinking about getting a sub. I guess I'd better book a hotel!

To all my fans, I've been invited back to play in the Derby room again this year. So both of you had better come.

I have my hotel reservations, but have not yet booked my flight.
Unfortunately I also have some major unexpected expenses to deal with including a broken water heater and car repairs, and I might have to cancel.

I missed last year but I do have my reservations and will definately be there. Also, I'm not wealthy but I'll be driving my little Buick Century that get's about 32 mpg so it might not be too bad. Mike, I hope you don't have to cancel I'll be bringing my old mandolin with me for you to check out!...JH in Va.
Don't matter who's in Austin (or anywhere else) Ralph Mooney is still the king!!!

Cool Jerry. Here are pictures of my 2 Rigels,Jerry Hayes wrote:Mike, ...I'll be bringing my old mandolin with me for you to check out!...JH in Va.
And here is the infamous "Mandocellocaster" made from a Squire.
But since (if I come)I'm flying and will be bringing my steel (I'm scheduled to play at the talent search) I won't be bringing any other instruments.
Hey Jerry, when I do my thing on the talent search, I want you to be one of my backup singers. The "Mike-ettes."

Nick, I'm sorry to hear that you and Linda won't be going.
I'll definitely be there.
Jeff Strouse is driving up there with me, we have our rooms at the Drury right next door to The Millennium.
I'm looking forward to playing a set in the Hawaiian show with L.T. Zinn and Doug Smith on Friday - and I'll be at our vendors' table with Herb Remington all day Saturday.
So stop by and buy something - a CD, a DVD, or a Remington Steelmaster . .
It's gonna be fun ! !
