821.0. "Dave Bottom Visiting Mass - Get Together?" by BAXTA::BOTTOM_DAVID () Fri May 29 1987 12:46

    That vituperative and oft noisy mainiac commuscian, me will be more
    than likely trapped in Mass for two weeks shortly. It looks to be June
    8-19 I'll be down at Wilmington doing some training for them and of
    course my evenings will be free (I hope). 
    
    So in anticipation of great boredom unless I can arrange otherwise
    I'm trying to figure out what sort of musical extravaganza could
    be arranged....I plan on traveling with 1 guitar and rockmodules.
    
    So what's going on those two weeks? Who can I see (who's gigging
    where? and where is that?), who wants to jam or hang out or otherwise
    be comradly and muscian like?

821.4It WAS a secret...JAWS::COTEThe Voice Of ReasonFri May 29 1987 16:3011
    In the past we've had such distinguished guest speakers as
    Dave Bottom and Karl Moeller. Paul Kent will undoubtedly be
    joining us this summer. (LEDS-BIM Int'l?)
    
    You must have 2 pieces of MIDI gear to join or promise to buy
    some *real soon*. Admission is free but tipping gets a bit outta
    hand.
    
    The establishment has been known to pick up the tab occasionally...

821.5Credit where credit is due....JAWS::COTEThe Voice Of ReasonFri May 29 1987 16:346
    OH!! And lest I be chastised, let me add that Ron (JON::) Wockin'
    Won Ross is a charter member in good standing.
    
    He even knows the secret handshake.

821.6Wednesdays make me thirstyPHUBAR::WELLSLeft of CenterFri May 29 1987 17:119
    So, like, what comprises `MIDI devices'?  Anything that has the
    word MIDI screened on it somewheres?
    
    Are there any other membership requirements?  Is there a prerequisite
    number of stacks of periodicals and books that must be owned?  Are
    4 cats enough?  What about COMMUSIC tape contribution?

821.7You're in...JAWS::COTEThe Voice Of ReasonFri May 29 1987 17:176
    Did you see that!!!! Richard Wells just said he owns at least
    the 2 prerequisite MIDI devices and is now entitled to LEDS-BIM!!!
    
    I heard him say it!! It was written!!!

    'knows the secret handshake'
    
    ..and I thought it was merely a rude, offensive gesture.
    
    Word of advice to new attendees: don't go there hungry.. several
    hours of drinking may eventually be followed by dinner, preferably
    after a 45minute drunken drive.

821.11yeah, and the midi cable must woik.JON::ROSSNetwork partner excited first try!{pant}Sat May 30 1987 14:5811
    
    Correction:
    
    	Thats "sacred", not "secret", handshake.

    I learned it by rote (wrote?), as most rituals are handed
    down. It has *something* to do with...oops, I almost told.
    Besides, its to long an explanation to type in.

    So Edd...I forget what time the Leds-BIM starts.....at least this
    time I'll sit on the right side....
    
    dave
821.14It doesn't start... it *continues*DARTS::COTEThe Voice Of ReasonMon Jun 01 1987 16:113
    LEDS-BIM start at 5:00 plus drive time (5:01 for me).
    
    Edd
821.15Just kidding, boss.JON::ROSSNetwork partner excited first try!{pant}Mon Jun 01 1987 18:4113
    
    Real Deccies dont leave at 5:00.

    I get there early so I can get the best seat.
    
    Say 1-ish.
    
    It fills up fast. The sofa only holds 3, and the
    chairs are too big to move around, sorta like a
    Rhodes....
    
    have a nice flight.
