Thanks for the support men, it's just like having a good truss now, if anybody has any trouble with hotel or flights let me know and I'll try and help.
Waxy, thanks you are very brave and I know it's a long way to come!
Prof S was quite right in that it's the hotel bookings that worry me most, especially as my Latvian isn't that good these days however it now looks as though all of my rooms might be filled, I'll pop up and check later in the week which will give a little leeway for these booking to be translated
As for a rough program I will put my mind to it and I will base things on the assumption that -
On the Friday evening maybe some form of organisied open-mic type of thing which could be dependant on numbers as folks will be arriving etc etc
Saturday, I imagine is going to be the music day.. so maybe a masterclass (or is that a bit grand!!) or two - volunteers and suggestions please? Phil ..Tampa Red? Somebody suggested a lap steel one , Prof S was going to do lap dacing in a kilt, Waxy looks like you are going to be conscripted as well! Possibly one of my famous blues quizes, but I'm usually told they are too hard! Desert Island Blues was another suggestion and of course there are always the Harry Potter DVDs should we all fail to come up with anything at all! Or, there me be so many of us (I live in hope) that we could do a matineee performance.
Naturally, the evening will have to have more performance time and I have had some been giving thought to making some small groups which would give you something to work on! Oh, and how could I forget the finale of the Lap Dancing KIlt Contest.
On Sunday if anybody is still compis mentis, without a hangover we could even do something healthy like have a cliff walk and watch Waxy have a bit of a twitch in the bushes
Seriously, put your minds to it and tell me what you would like and I'll do my best to tailor the thing to suit and if you do book, it would be helpful if you could email me so I can keep up todate-ish.
Finally, just for Prof S, I am making enquiries as to where I can get my hands on a set of the McPipes as I know you are a great enthusiast and also for the McPipes
It should be fun.....
