I am happy to say It appears I will be able to come see what looks like an Amazing Shop on the 15th. Thanks Marty so much for the invitation. I might bring my dad by if that's ok, he's guitar flat-picker but we won't hold that against him.

This will be a hell of a night. Marty: Apologies in advance.
I DO! It's #27, the one with the crazy inlay (as beautiful as it is, I'm actually more excited about the crazy wood. I think it's going to sound as unique as I'd hoped). It will be my first "real" mando.
How about you, Mike? Just coming to jam, or will it feel like Christmas to you as well?

Your #27 looks really nice Alan. Looking forward to seeing a little video of this event!

Unfortunately, I don't have a dog in this fight. Went to the last "MandoTasting" at Marty's shop, and love the way he builds 'em. I'll be there just to play, hang out, and welcome Pete. (Oh, I might be holding #24 for ransom. I'll come up with a reasonable figure for release!) Yours is a real beauty,too! Great combination of wood tones, and that inlay is outrageous!

I expect to hear your Dusty Miller version played on that #24 Mike. You have a week to get that down!

Fingers crossed on having any of them strung up by Friday... the bridge redesign was tricky, but worth it.
What time does everyone want to get together? Last was at 7pm, is that good, or are there votes for earlier? Later?
Beer O'clock.
Actually, in the 'States, it's "Beer Thirty". At least it is on my block...
Think globally, bike locally.
Sounds good to me. Can I have a schooner of dark and stormy please?
Goin to join me PETE.
cheers

7 works for me, but I'm flexible (timewise, at least) for whatever is best overall.

7 is good for me.
I'll be there by 7:30 with a bit of luck.

Can I say that I think it's great that you folks in Georgia are coming together for a fellow traveller from Australia for a good night of mandolins, music and beer!. This Cafe really is a community and I like that very much.

Well if I go it will be a long drive for me and I figure I may as well make a weekend of it.
So does anyone know of some good live music near there for Saturday night too ?
No matter where I go, there I am...Unless I'm running a little late.
Astro - David Mold's band will be playing on Saturday. Not sure of the details, but Pete or David can fill us in.
David,is that going to be in Peachtree City, or some other location? Maybe get a group together to go hear you guys. I could justify a road trip on a Saturday!

7 is great!
On Saturday we're going to be playing at the Ponce De Leon Beer Festival - here's the web site
http://theponcedeleonbeerfestival.com/?page_id=56
It runs from 12 noon until 5. My band Sweetwater Creek is on from 2 - 2:45 on the outside courtyard, and Jake Cohan's band (see post #26 at the top of this page), Sailing to Denver, is in the main hall from 3 - 3:45. Pete will be there too, but not necessarily playing (unless he makes it onstage somehow).
The only bad news is that it costs $35 to get tickets online now, or $45 on the gate, but that does include a certain amount of free food and beer.
On a Saturday night you can go up to Everett's picking barn in Suwanee, or in town you could catch The Littlest Birds and Julie Gribble at the Red Light.
Any of the Atlanta crowd up for meeting up over there to hhear Sweetwater Creek and maybe buy Pete a free beer?

It's only a 5 mile walk for me. I might be able to do it. I'll chat with my wife to see if I have anything else "planned."
Julie Gribble, by the way, is FANTASTIC. She has one song that is an absolute favorite of mine. "Letting Go." Dynamite.
