Let’s make something happen.
Laurel Mill up in the mountains outside of Santa Cruz has cabins, a kitchen, showers and such. It’s a rustic place to hang and play. We could get a Mother Ship tour involved.
Tad? Hayden? Any suggestions?

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Gotta check with Richard and Carolyn, see what’s on their schedules – would be great to have a bunch of other shop people available too –
But I think its a great idea – maybe a 42-½ Anniversary?

We are lucky to see each other every December.

Hmm. Maybe August or early September sometime? I’m down for it.

Septembers good for me – although my wife might be unhappy if I disappear for a whole month –
then again, she might not –
-
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!

How will I fly my Brazilian Dread to France?

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

Carefully….

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!

I’m down for that,.

Maybe in 2020. 2019 is already spent.

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.

Darie hits the half century mark in 2020. I want her to see Paris. Saving money now.

Time to bring a Grateful Dead Jam to a local pub.

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! 😉

Santa Cruz in ‘19, Paris in ‘20!

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?
