Roger, we'll be in the Yaarab Shrine Temple.

Brett,
The Peach Jams have been in the Activities Building, but the Northwest Georgia show was in the Ball Room. The Ball Room isn't as big but it had table seating and was a cozier atmosphere. There was also a large room just off stage to set up, tune up, practice. I was wondering if we were possibly going to be there again.

Roger or Bill,

Could one of you guys email me directions to the venue. Thanks. I don't want to get lost.

Hey Roger, for some reason, I thought all the shows were in the same room cause I just remember the one I last played in.

Brett,
Yeah, for Jerry's show there was something else booked in the activities building.

Mike,
I sent you an email, but not with directions. If you can swing the offer, you won't need 'em! If not, let me know and I'll get you set up.

Mike, directions from coming into Atlanta on I-75 south...
Take the US-78/US-278/NORTH AVE exit, EXIT 249D, toward GA TECH. 0.3 mi


Stay STRAIGHT to go onto WILLIAMS ST NW. 0.0 mi


Turn LEFT onto NORTH AVE NW/US-278/US-29/US-78/GA-8. 0.5 mi


Turn LEFT onto PIEDMONT AVE NE/US-278 E/US-29 N/US-78 E/GA-8 N. 0.1 mi


Turn RIGHT onto PONCE DE LEON AVE NE/US-278/US-29/US-78/GA-8. 0.4 mi


End at 400 Ponce De Leon Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30308-2015

If the "Hot" light is on at Krispy Kreme, it's worth a stop!
See you Sunday.

Mike, Roger's directions are ok, but their is an easier way.

When coming into Atlanta, as soon as you intersect with I-85 South, take the first exit which is North Ave., turn left. Go to 3rd traffic light (Peachtree St) and turn left, then make an immediate right turn on Ponce de Leon Ave. Go 3/4 mile to temple on the left. There is a Burger King directly across the street.

Sorry Roger.

Hey, they were Mapquest directions. I don't go that way either, but I can't remember all the street names I turn at!

Yea Roger, but you Mapquest from Florida. It all depands on where you start from.

Frank I'm callin' now. Do you hear the phone?

See ya'll Sunday.

Ah,yes.....
those warm tropical breezes!!! I'll have to leave Thursday morning to get there in time.

The show starts at 10:00 A.M. Get there early and get a good seat. See you Sunday.

Charlie

We are going to be in the main room up front same as the last Shriners' show that brother Braswell is in charge of. This room is much more "intimate". If we have 125-150 folks it feels like a crowd in this room unlike the activity building. The activity building is the one in the back where the same number of people can stand together in a corner!

See everybody Sunday!

By the way, among the many gracious vendors that participate, the folks from Jackson Steel Guitars will be here with a few models for you to test drive.

Come out and support our organization. We are trying very hard to build the club and need everyone's support if we are to continue bringing an organized show to the members and interested general public.

Well, the excitement is swelling for the big show this weekend. If you haven't been to one of the GaSGA shindigs you need to treat yourself to a really fun and entertaining music day. The guys and gals that put this show on are the hardest working and most dedicated folks you will ever meet. The music is great, the facilities are very comfy, the food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is family.

And don't forget to pick up one of the new GaSGA t-shirts that are going to be shown/sold for the first time. Here's an advanced peek...........







Ya'll come now, ya hear?

Time for a bump! I'm about to leave the sunny beaches, anyone need some fresh shrimp?

Up

Sunday will be a big day in Atlanta because the Ga Peach Jam will be going on. I am looking forward to being there to hear some great music and see all the fine musicians.
