I’ve got a new house. Kitchen going in in September, bathroom in October, exterior wall insulation in October, new windows, electrical…
I don’t think I’ll make it this year.
But maybe we can host a SCGC EU gathering!

It might be possible for Carolyn or Richard to write up a certificate for the Brazilian.

I think an EU meet-up would be amazing! Next year, though – so Daniel has enough time to fix the place up for us all. 😉
Maybe we can find a couple european dealers that would want to help, tie it into an event that maybe Richard and Carolyn need to go to anyway. Take a bit of planning, but it would be a serious life-memory event!

Indeed. SCGC meet-up EU should happen after all the renovations and Claudine and I sort out schedules. So in 2020.
April 1-4 is Musikmesse in Frankfurt, which is about 5 hours east by car. But a direct line from Paris by train, so about 6 and a half hours form Laon.
There are a couple SCGC dealers in Paris, the one in Orly looks promising as they are also an authorised repair place. Orly is the other side of Paris from us. It’s about 2.5hrs by car, depending on Paris traffic. Paris traffic doesn’t compare to Bay Area or LA traffic, but it almost never eases up.
Maybe we could get help from the mothership in developing their interest.
Our area is pretty amazing in terms of things to do and see. Lots happening in Laon depending on the time of year. The catherdral is magnificent. If you’re into WWI history you can walk trenches, view the former front on the Chemin des Dames from an observatory tower over the destroyed town of Craonne. (There are lots of ‘villages detruit’ in our area, I’ve seen most of them. Chamouille, where I live at the moment, was here before the Napoleonic Wars and was far enough into German occupied territory during WWI that it wasn’t destroyed by shelling in the Nivelle offensive.) There are pubs and clubs, etc.
So have a look online and bring your families.

Oh dear God no. The jams in this area aren’t lots of fun if you can actually play. The Dead would break a few minds I think! 😉

If camping or RVing is ok, Lake Del Valle Park in Livermore is cheap and easy to book ahead of time:
Link: https://www.ebparks.org/parks/del_valle/
There are cabins available, and hotels reasonably close by for those who don’t want to camp.
They allow campfires, so we have jam-spots – and the campsites are far enough apart that as long as the playing is acoustic, we’ll be fine.
I’ve done jams during the annual Two-Day Town music festival there, and it’s worked well.
It’s usually hot during the day and cools down quite a lot at night, so it’s comfortable for sleeping.
Thoughts?

Well, we now have a side deck with a 16’ yurt (looooong story) in addition to the office and the music room, all of which can be repurposed for sleeping or jam. And there are airbnb and regular bnb here in the village. The house isn’t big but there might be enough space for jams outdoor on the porch or in the yurt….

What were Yurt thinking ?
I thought building codes were tough in Ca.

Heh. This didn’t sell at our annual flea market and the former owner gave it to us. As long as it’s standalone, it’s fine with building code.
It’s turning out to be where Beth & friends hang out. I need to claim it as a jamspace :). Hence the suggestion that visitors bring guitars and prepare to make noise.
