Nashville update [message #157]

Ok...here's where we are... Jim Reynolds is the show holder.. I have reserved a two table committment to him...having the tables is the right thing to do with regards to the other dealers so there will be no question if any of us sell or trade gear. Jim is going to treat us special though and is reserving not just the 20 ft of space but will take the entire back wall area and set it aside so we can bring in as much gear as possible... I recommend that you bring all you want..but plan initially to only pull say 3 or 4 pieces out of your finest for display...then we can fill in any other space as available. The rent was raised on Jim so his cost to us will be $225 per 10ft table or a total of $450. I have committed to him on this already but certainly need your help. I would also like to cover Bud's motel (and while motel 6 is fine for me..) I want to put him up in the Holiday Inn so there's another $218 for 2 nites...I've seen verbal committment from a good dozen of you that are serious about this.. I know there are many others coming...and I will solicit their help but for the core group I guess I'll start by asking that you would send a check for $75. If we get plenty of response then the cost per guy will go down and I'll be sure to refund the difference to you...I know many of you are more familiar with Brad Crowder as he is great at keeping in touch..if you are more comfortable then please send the funds to Brad as he has also volunteered to help with the treasurey duties...if for any reason this show blows out..or Bud has to cancel then I will refund all to all... I have also contacted Motel 6 which is $37.00 per nite double occ. their phone is (615) 333-9933. Their parking lot allows for your vehicle right outside your room. If you prefer a better stay then the Holiday inn is quoting $109 for dbl..(615) 373-2600. I am talking with sales at Holiday right now about a group discount which would include a meeting room in case we can't jam and meet after hours at the show like we want. I told them there might be a dozen in the group and they said they can do a lot better on price so I"ll let you know. Either way you'll be responsible for your own rooms.. I can help get you to and from the airport. I know a couple of you are flying and I really appreciate the cost involved... I just ask that everyone do what they can to help with these expenses. So I can be as open as possible you can check in with Jim Reynolds yourself if you'd like..his phone is (619)749-3616 and he is listed on VG under the December shows..this is the last show of the year and while its not a large one...he promises that there are usually some local big dogs that like to pop in and so its a decent weekend all around. Be sure to bring your favorite axe as well cause we plan to jam on all this tuck n roll. ya'll feel free to call me any time...my cell phone is (704) 236-5818 home is 527-3820 and work is 334-5353 ext 237. Looking forward to finally meeting many of you..ET!
