Erin is out. I'm a maybe, but I'm trying to make it happen. I can use our slot and play a couple songs I suppose. There isn't a lot of time left for me to rehearse other people's stuff, and if I go I've already committed to playing drums on one set, but I might have a little bandwidth for some other backup if anybody is still looking.

You have to be there Sam. Otherwise, you know thAt I will be slagging off the losers I beat in nur ein, and you won't be there to defend yourself. ( oh...and it would be awesome if you could be my lead guitarist)

And it is about time I started thinking about a set. I will probably do one or two songs solo. But I am expecting Fluffy to play drums and Roy to play bass on some stuff. And hopefully either Sam or Paco as a lead guitar. I will think of some songs. Roy and Fluffy. Are you still up for this?

Fitzroy is looking forward to being there, and I wish we could stay for both days. We have decided on most of our set, and will probably play our yet unwritten livefight title song during our set for your enjoyment, not entry. I might suggest earplugs. We will be swapping instruments half way through our set, so that should be fun. Unfortunately, because we are driving up and arriving only just before the event, I can't offer my sub-par drumming services to anyone for lack of practice time. I know you're weeping. It will be great to seeing, and listening to some of you again, and everyone else for the first time.

Probably a silly question, but better confirm anyway - I don't intend lugging a guitar with me, so I assume there will be one I can borrow? An (electric) acoustic preferably - though an electric would be OK too.

There will be an electric guitar, drumset, amps, and a PA-- I believe there is a nice big keyboard in the room as well.

Does "CONFIRMED" include both confirmed that they ARE coming and confirmed that they are NOT coming? I was pretty sure Frank said he was not going to be there since he'll be in France, but he's in the "CONFIRMED" section...??

Still working on this, and it's looking good. Hope to officially confirm by tomorrow. I think Holly Furlone will be able to come along too!

Probably can't do this. If I do, it'll have to be as a surprise appearance. If you see a tall, weird looking guy in the back, it just might be me.
