Ok Guys and Gals,
So far I have heard May 10 and Roy probably can't make it that date. I am off tomorrow and will contact City of Chanute, so try to give me some idea of what will work for ya. We will need to get the date nailed down in the next couple of days so we can get a building. Since we don't know how many are coming yet, I think it will be best just to eat on our own, and not try to cater food in. Also, is 8 to 5 enough time to be open to the public for 3 or 4 hours and then the rest for bull session and jamming? If we absolutely need to set up Friday night, they will hit us with more fees and also there is the security factor.....Let me know soon!

I was noticing the lack of activity on this thread, so I thought I would just give it a shove. :P
Most of this bunch is already aware that the May 10 date that has been proposed impacts my spring planting season. Thus, I can not plan to attend, I can only plan to take advantage of whatever inclement weather takes place on approx May 8-9.
I have a lot more flexibility during the last week of Jun, and all of July and August. The first 3 weeks of September would be suitable as well.
Are there others who would prefer these "second-half of summer" months?
If the consensus prefers the earlier time-frame, I'm fine with that. I'll still like you guys (& Deb) either way. :D
I'll be trying to recover from my daughter's wedding on May 5th...so if I'm gonna have any toy money..might be later in the year...but I'll just be cranked to see ya'll so whenever...sure would like for the Roy to be there though... I also place this disclaimer up front.. I'm in the midst of interviews (prayers please) and may be changing jobs in Feb...which would include responsibility for the European division so not sure what the future holds on my schedule at this time....but sure would love to get with ya'll...ET

I have not had the pleasure of attending one of your bashes. Last year I was planning on going to Indy but I also travel and it was tripus interruptus. My boys would certainly want to attend and I am not sure if my wife would be interested. Also, what would an attendee be obliged to bring? I don't have a trailer to haul anything so I would be limited in what I would bring. Let's here more about the festivities.

Is there a reason we are NOT looking at the dates Roy would have more of a chance of making? And it also seems ET - Our original "Kustom Bash" - host would be more available in the later months - Can I suggest, as Roy does, a bit more input for the poor guy here who's stepping up to the plate to try and get this together? jc

Hey guys, I have been working and playing music pretty heavy for awhile, but got an email from ThrillBill about the event. I would love to come and plan to, but I can relate to Roys situation.
I own a wholesale/retail nursery and May 10 is Mothers Day weekend,which is big for us. A June or July date would be better. I have never been before and I really look forward to the this. I intend to bring my family and my band is showing a big interest since most of us played on Kustoms for years. Whatever you guys decide, let me know. Its worth coming just to see ET's face light up at the sight of all those Kustoms.
