Well, it's almost convention time again and so the proverbial question is asked, "WHO IS GOING?"

I had hoped to and had a room reserved, but in April I got a two-week notice at work. Since then I've been extended several times and am now safe until September 28. I'm being reassigned to another task and there's a good chance that it will be long-term but I decided what with the unstable situation this wouldn't be a good year.

Hopefully next year...

Y'all have a good time now.

Not me. I used all my spare money buying new guitars this year. I got some real beauties though, including a Jerry Jones electric Siter, a Baritone guitar, and a mini-12 string (a reissue of the old Vox Mando-guitar from th 60s)

Hey Mike,

How are things over in Illinois?

I wrestled with the options of attending the St. Louis show or going down to Central City, KY to see Buddy with the Everly's and I'm choosing to go see Buddy.

I've never been to a steel show and really wanted to go but the big E might not be this close for a while and I'll catch the St. Louis show next year.

We'll have to meet sometime. I hike in Illinois during the winter. I might holler at you.

I'm going. This is only the second time out of 13 that I won't be staying at the Regal. Even though I called for reservations in March, they didn't have any rooms available for Sunday night. I didn't want to change Hotels for one night, so I have reservations at the Adams Mark. The only other time I didn't stay at the Regal, I waited too late to decide to go.

I will be attending, along with my wife. Was hoping to meet Gene Jones, but I guess I will have to wait for another time. Hope to see you all there. Maybe we can get our wives, at least of those that will be there, included in the forum steelers' pictures. What about that Ann?

We'll be there, Barbara and I, and I hope to see all of my "forum" friends. Please stop by the stage and say "hello" or maybe we can "shake a hand" somewhere in the hotel.
See you in St. Louis.....
