NoVa 9:14 Breakfast/tech session, 2-21-04

[JohnB]

Folks, we had to cancel the valve adjustment session at Norustscott's due to snow. Looks like winter may finally be losing its grip on us. Any interest in resurrecting this gathering?

[dc914guy]

Yes.. Why don't we talk about it over breakfast on Saturday? Anyone?

i'm in. silver diner at tysons? 9:14am?

[JohnB]

Hmm, Sat might work but I might have the entire crew along since we have a big day planned in DC. Anybody else bringing SO's?

[JohnB]

WooHoo! I got the kitchen pass! Wife has her hair appt Sat AM so I'm off the hook!

Saturday it is, who's coming?

[jamcleod]

WooHoo! SO has wedding shower Sat AM. i'm there

[JmuRiz]

Too bad there might also be a rain shower Saturday morning...I'll probably be there, just not with the 914, and maybe with the GF.

I'll be at the PCA meeting tonight also...unfortunately I've been a slacker and have yet to fix my headlight ground problem and probably won't have the 914 there either.

[JohnB]

Today is the wife's birthday so NO chance of making the PCA meeting tonight but I will be there Sat AM, perhaps with daughter in tow.

[jamcleod]

no PCA meeting tonight for me, going to see Earl Scruggs with SO @ Birchmere only 50% chance of rain sat morn at this time!

[JohnB]

Earl's at the Birchmere? Do they still have tickets? Wife would LOVE that! Seriously, we're into bluegrass (uh oh, maybe I shouldn'ta said that..)

[norustscott]

I just got back from the US VI 's whats the deal guys ... saturday?

[jamcleod]

yeah! same as last time. don't bring your suntan

[JohnB]

Yeah, show up with or without suntan.

How was Earl's show, Jim?

[jamcleod]

wow, 80 yr old still plays... show was great, very talented musicians (guess that's why they get paid to perform) there was a guitarist from a band "desert rose", couldn't pick up the name, who played with them, multi-instrumentalist, even played clarinet!he did a jango reinhardt solo tune that was impressive.
7 members: drummer, randy scruggs on bass, dobro, fiddle, Earl, guitar, multi-instrumentalist (mandolin, guitar, ...) 1st time i'd been to the birchmere....

[JohnB]

When I was in 7th grade in Nashville Steve Scruggs was in my class. He played guitar in the band (go figure). He's Earl's nephew but I have no idea what ever happened to him. At least I think his name was Steve. I wonder if i have that old year book?

[norustscott]

John,

Are you going to bring a kid? I will have the oldest in tow....

[JohnB]

Yes, I am, that'd be great company for my 11 yr old daughter.

[norustscott]

Perfect...seeya there...
