TubeNet

I dont know about anyone else but i think that Tubenet should be broken up into chapters for each state ie: Rhode Island Chapter i think that would be good because then when you are looking at instruments being sold you can look for instruments in your general area. You could have all of the same forums on each chapter. I think this would be a good idea. Who else thinks so?

I think an RI chapter would be a bit narrow in scope. Taking to the New England level, which is common on much larger forums, may still be too narrow. The real issue is efficiency. I know many folks would rather browse a single forum for items than multiple. Specifically in that tubas are (somewhat) high dollar items and people are willing to travel/ship far distances for a proper axe.

Dave Gannett is already there.

Ooh, where's your lawn? I might bring my tuba over and play a bit

Hm...sorry, but I have a philosophy that if I can't spell the name of a state, then I don't go there
So, I'll proly never go to Tennis-see, Mass-a-choo-choo-sis, New Yawk, Organ, Tex-***, Oh-hi-yo, etc

This is probably a very good thing.

Someone would then be asking for TubeNet thongs, g-strings and jockstraps. Let's not go there.

Too much work on my end.

The negative outweighs the positive. Having to sift through 50-100 subforums would be tedious and too disconnecting.

i would be interested in going to that if it ended up happening

I am required to be at the Army Tuba Conf each year. Plenty of stuff there to get geeked out on. Not sure how I feel about a TubeNet powwow in Memphis. Of course you guys could hook up and do your own thing. I meetup all the time with my local riding buds from the local cycling clubs but at least right now I am sorta TubeNet'ed out.

Been to the Memphis Zoo, and have to respectfully disagree with that rating. I might give it 2.5 out of 5.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and have to dispute that request.

Seeing this bunch in their Speedos might a little bit more than the world could handle.

Maybe this is what the Mayans predicted?

Nah. That is supposed to be in 2012. They were far too accurate to make such an error in their Long Count calendar. Maybe all of us in swim suites in one location at one time is merely a foreshadowing of the end times! WE CAN PREVENT THIS! THIS HORRIBLE EVENT CAN BE AVOIDED! But I will probably be there. I will be swimming wile wearing my cutoffs and tee-shirt, however. (Just in case!)

Well, by the time it all gets organized, it could be 2012...

Aww, okay...

It's so hard to return those Speedos after they've been used...

This might be the coolest piece of information I ever gleaned from Joe.
