I'm often hearing from folks in lotsa places that I haven't made it there in way too long. I agree. I'm trying out this new, simple way to make it happen. It's just for the US right now, but international folks, of course you'll be in on this too when the site goes global, and we can always work something out DIY-style. Anyway, I kept my costs reasonable and made some options that I think are worthwhile and fun (as always, I'm very open to your ideas on all this stuff). Just get some folks together, chip in what you can, we'll find a date that works and nice spot to get together and make some noise. I'm not counting on (nor particulary wanting) big shows, so chip in as much as you can and we'll make it happen with nice handfuls of folks -- I just wanna get there and play sweet shows for awesome people. That's you.
