OK folks,

just got of the phone with my friend and he confirmed that we'll have the clubhouse and pool.

Since it is already May and people need enough advance notice we were thinking that we could do it over the 4th of July weekend.
The forth will be on a Tuesday; that will give people a long weekend to play with.
The jam could be on the 1st and 2nd of July which is the Saturday and Sunday before the 4th.

The plan is to collect a little money so that we can barbecue, play some music and hang out at the pool in between....

The neighbors might participate in the barbecue and listen to our music.
So be prepared to have a little audience.
It's good practice.

All are welcome.

It should be lots of fun...

So who is in?
I need some confirmations at this time.

Looking forward to some overwhelming response...

Eric

YO ERIC,
That works for us. We can bop on down on Friday, be there for Sat, Sun, and Mon and book on home on Tuesday or even Wed.
I'm In x 2. Send me a bill, and I send you a check.
We don't head for Canada until July 28th, in case we want to stay with you all month
C'mon all you Musicians, get on board for a great time in sunny South California at the beaches.
Eric has to have committments and Money to go forward with this.
Bebop/Jann and Rocky too

For more details on the Jam Session see here:

But please continue to use this threat from now on to communicate.

Thanks

Eric

I'll definately be there !!!!!

Cheers,
Nigel

Hi Eric: Wow, this looks to be a FUN-FILLED 'not to missed' arranger kb music + P-O-O-L P-A-R-T-Y event for sure. Unfortunately (for me), I'm already booked that weekend, as well as on the 4th itself. Though I fully understand that clubhouse availability, as well as time off available to you & your friend are limited, please keep in mind that: Independence, Memorial, & Labor Day weekends, are typically the busiest summer gig periods for musicians.
Ok, please take plenty of pics and video footage to share with us. I wish I could be there with you all because I so fondly remember the terrific fun we had at our 1st West Coast SZ jam at Bebop's place in San Jose, back in 2004. - Scott

I have to play a party with my band on the Saturday night but the rest of that weekend I'm free.

Is this a private party or can us jammers attend also?
Bebop

Unfortunately it is a private party that has hired us to play.

Ok folks,

I wanted to wait until the end of the weekend to see whether there will be more confirmations.

So far none.
We have Bebop and Nigel as the only ones so far.

That means there won't be a jam.
Why?

Here is what I'm thinking: Wrong date or wrong place, or no interest.

Anyways; here are a couple of suggestions to get the ball rolling again:
1. We could do it in August instead of July if enough people commit and if we get the clubhouse then.
2. We could put it back to San Jose if that is what more people want.
3. Or we just cancel because of lack of interest.

Since it is the weekend and everybody has had plenty of time to read the post and check their calendars, I will wait until tomorrow.
If there is no interest I will tell my friend to cancel the clubhouse since we have to have a commitment. He went through great lenght to make this happen and he is not even a Synthzone member

If people rather do it in N California instead that would be fine too.

Eric

Hello,
I can attend the July 2nd jam. Count me in.
Regards,
Jimmy

Thanks for your reply.

That makes it 3, but we need at least 10 to make it worth while.

OH WELL ERIC
4th of July weekend in Pismo Beach is our normal trip, and isn't all bad. Cmon up there and you can help me play for the street dance in the RV park
Bebop

Sounds like fun Bebop.

Since there seems to be no more interest I will tell my friend tomorrow to cancel the clubhouse.

Sorry

Eric

Thanks very much for the effort you went to Eric. And thanks to your friend for putting himself out to try accomodate us there at the clubhouse. It really is appreciated. I'm guessing the July 4th weekend was not an available time for many people.

Say hi to Claudia and Sunny from me and Kerry and Ollie.

Sure thing,

also Hi from us to Kerry and Ollie.
Maybe we'll try again some other time.

Eric

HI ERIC,
Sorry it didn't work out. I am sure it would have been a lot of fun for all that would and should have signed up and showed their "Stuff".
I guess the Gas Prices, Other Holiday Plans, vacation schedules and Gigging Musician's booking schedules did it in.
There will always be another opportunity so keep the faith and think about another time you might be open to doing this.
Best to you and thanks for trying,
Bebop

Eric: I too am sorry to hear the Ventura jam didn't work out. As I mentioned to you by phone, the reason I couldn't make it is because of the date: a MAJOR summer holiday weekend, of which I (and I know many others here as well) already have booked. I hope there might be an opportunity again (next year?) for a Ventura jam. It would help (wishful thinking on part I suppose) if gas prices dropped as well. - Scott

Bebop, Scott,

We'll just try again.
Maybe later. I'm game.

Eric
