Would love to go but I have to go the NMIA (Association of New Media Internal Auditors) mid-year board meeting in New Orleans during that time frame. Almost as much fun a the army conference.

Will be there with a ton of music. Please stop by, chat for a while, say hello, pick up some new charts, etc.
It is always a thrill to be able to put faces to the TubeNet names!!

I'll be there. I already have my airline tickets. I hope our "Resident Genius" will be ready for me.
It sure would be cool if all our TubeNet people were identified somehow one their name tag.

I will be there with Charley Brighton. For those of you who don't know Charley he goes by "Highams" on this forum .Charley will be flying in from the U. K. on Tuesday of that week and we will travel from Richmond,Va. on Friday morning and will stay through Saturday night.
This will be a first for Charley as they don't do conferences such as this in England. He is very excited to see what it is all about. He also hopes to meet some of his friends from the Tube Net so if you see us there feel free to walk right up and introduce yourself .

It's sad for me to say this, but given my current financial situation, I may not be able to attend this conference
I am not giving up hope yet.

I'd be careful if I were you.

I am seriously thinking about it. I have the funds, the vacation time, and permission from the wife (the most important factor). I'm about an 8 hr. drive away. I'm still trying to talk myself into making the drive. I hate driving that far by myself.

See you all soon,
Are these for 2 euphs/2 tubas or 4 tubas? I'm assuming the former and not the latter. How about offering the special show price to those Tubenetters who unfortunately can't attend the show?
2 Euphs and 2 Tubas and done on the TubeNet offer. After I get back from DC, I will post a note about the offer on TubeNet and leave it up on the site for app. a week.
Wishing all well,

So, Ray...are you borrowing the Miraphone or the York Master?

Hopefully the Miraphone, Ken. I definitely like it better. Since I haven't discussed this with the Resident Genius, I am not at all sure which, if any, I will get to use.
