The Steel Guitar Forum

So, every year I usualy have a little birthday party, but this year I decided to do something a little more music oriented. I have a venue lined up, its a pizzeria in concord called "christophers." They make great pizza, and have an excellent selection of beer. I would bring my PA (which is alright, 2x15 800watts), if anyone else wants to bring their's, that would rock as well. we can go till 2AM, and have a blast. This will be in conjunction with the TDPRI, The SteelGuitarForum, The Gear Page, and various friends. Who's in?

Date: Sat, July 18th, 2009
Time: Setup starts at 5pm, we go till close
Location: Christopher's Pizzeria- 3624 Willow Pass Road, Concord CA, 94520
You bring: Amp (if you want), guitars, basses, mics...a good attitude.

Sounds like a fun party. It's a long drive from the southern tip of Texas to Concord, CA, though!

What's TDPRI stand for?

Yup, maybe he'll mosey on down. Literally a 5-10 minute walk.

I was all set to come with my pedal steel, amps and guitars until I read the part about a good attitude....oh well....

Ted, I'd love to come out and join in the festivities if that's OK.

That's great!! Come on down!

There will also be a raffle to benefit the american pit bull rescue group BADRAP ( www.badrap.org ). My girlfriend and I are big supporters of theirs, and have adopted from them. this group was featured in a cover story in Sports Illustrated for their efforts in saving many of the Vick dogs.

To be raffled:

So far we have A's tickets and Giants tickets confirmed, and much, much, more. Should be a great chance to win some cool stuff and help a great cause!

If I weren't going to be out of town, I'd definitely try to be there! Good luck and have fun!

well, if anything changes, you'll be received with much beer, pizza, and fun!

I may come and listen (and of course indulge in the pizza and beer). Jams that allow other instruments to take part sounds like a blast, but hard to keep control of. I think a better approach would be to have a back up band to play behind the steelers and not a bunch of other musicians having to take the time to set up, (hopefully) tune-up, tear down, etc. But if an all out jam is what you are after, then you've set the stage well and should have a good jam.

Sounds like fun. I'm planning to be there.

well, it is going to be pretty loosey goosey. we can do a jam to highlight the steelers, a jam for the rockers, a jam for the blues guys. there are going to be people from all walks of music, so it should be really fun. Ear plugs will be provided as well.

Just added to the raffle:
