Silicon valley. My room is too full of gear to have people come to me 
though
:>

I'm getting a Subaru Impreza Outback. The SKB mini rig fits snugly in the
front seat and when you drop the rear seats, they're masses of space. I
could probably fit all my gear in the back, and not use the front seat,
though I haven't tried.

I am so up for this, I almost tried to put together a party myself a while
ago, but, pressed for time, I never got it together. Besides, my place is
rather small.

I wanted to invite the people on the main lists I am subscribed to -
Looper's Delight, Taptalk/Stickwire ( http://www.stick.com  players), the
Korg Trinity mailing list, and perhaps the Emagic Logic Audio users group,
and see what happened. Does anyone have a large warehouse with tons of
parking, a loading dock and a clean, industrial strength power supply they
aren't using? :>

PS  Mark S. I re-subscribed and can post again, as you have noticed. Now to
solve the 'two of every message' problem.
