    May (not Mothers Day) or early June work best for me. But I'm probably the most flexible if we get it planned early enough. Around the 4th is no good for me.

    How about we do this...

    Everyone who plans on attending, please post the date which DO NOT work for you. Holidays are exempt of course.

    This should make it easier to plan for everybody. I'm still open as of today...

    I'm still open. I just need a little advance notice so I can plan on the kids to stay somewhere else for the weekend. Also, so I can run to Sam's and get drinks, munchies, and whatever anyone else wants?:)

    I should be free anytime in may... preferably earlier. I wont know "exactly" how my rotation will schedule me, but more than likely, I should have the weekends off.

    The best weekend for Joey is June 29th, 30th, & July 1st. This puts us about two months away from almford's PF '07.

    Since most who are planning on attending Chicagofest '07 (except for F1nut) are from the Chicagoland area and are not, that I'm aware of, going to attend PF '07 this shouldn't be an issue unless the date is a problem for somone else.

    The only other date that might work for Joey is May 18th, 19th, & 20th but it isn't guaranteed.

    Sound off -

    May 18th, 19th, & 20th or June 29th, 30th, and July 1st?

    Either is fine with me. May 18th is my wedding anniversary (16 years) so I will have to miss that day - but it is a Friday (I assume travel day for most) and I would still be able to attend Sat. (and Sun if needed)

    Correction - Joey is the youngest with the most expensive gear. The cool factor is subjective. I'd take a tube amp over a sand amp any day in a :cool: contest.

    I would prefer the May date (that's not Mothers Day weekend is it). The June date will be 50/50 for me as I usually head up to Hayward for the 4th of July and it may be that I leave at the end of June. No solid plans yet, but that's the usual plan. If May can't work I could probably work around the June date.

    Let's start to generate a gear list. We don't want to have too much shite there or we'll never get through it all.

    Joey's gear is a given. Are you going to have any decent cables or IC's by then Joey?

    I'll be happy to lug the whole enchilada, just one peice, or nothing at all depending on who wants to hear what. I also have some AR-2ax's I could bring in addition to the stuff in my signature.

    You guys gotta give more time on these decision's. I wasn't able to access at work today and it looks like in a matter of hours the June date was decided :p:D.

    That being said we need to plan it for when a majority of people can attend. If it's June then I will try to work around it if I have a conflict. We haven't put solid plans in place for the 4th yet, just going on the past 20 years or so of tradition.

    Mother's Day is Sunday May 13th Brock. Let's assume the end of June date is it: June 29th, 30th, & July 1st. You must be there!

    In regard to gear.... I don't have anything off the wall, or really all that fantastic since this sickness has just recently really grabbed hold. I wasn't planning on bringing anything due to that, but if anybody sees anything in my sig you want me to bring, I would be happy to.
