Ouch, I know that feeling...

On the topic of the meet, I might have a guitar with me when I come up there. I want to stop at Guitar Center and get an appraisal on fixing my Acoustic. I am sure it needs strings and the neck needs to be adjusted properly. I can't play anything but I have wanted to learn so if I can get it fixed up right, I can play with it when I am bored.

have we chosen a date yet? looks like you boys are throwing around the possiblity of a thursday, which doesn't look good on my schedule unless its earlier in the day - i have to be in kirkland at 6:30 for a coupel hours. tuesdays are also not gonna work for my schedule, but any other days should be possible at least sometimes. the weekend of the 24th won't work for me... outside of that, i'd like to be there if we choose a day that works

Hey Josh what about the 29th? That's a Thursday as well. Are you going to be in Kirkland on that one too? If we did the 29th, Jameson would miss us due to a hiking trip. If we did the 22nd then both you and Sean would miss us. I wonder if there is a mediator. Like, a Monday or something?

the thursday thing is an ongoing commitment every week, so that kills thursdays for me.

mondays would work. looks like that gives us the 19th or 26th - the 19 is probably too soon for everybody to see this thread in time, but either way would work for me.
wednesdays, fridays, or saturdays are also possible for me, but i know we've been trying to move our meets off of the weekends...

Well, I'd be up for the 26th-Monday. Sean mentioned that Wednesday's and Thursdays are busy up at Jimmy Macs so maybe Mondays would be quiet? I guess it's still up for debate then. Anyone have issues with the 26th?

Hey Guys,

Where's this Jimmy Mac place? Google shows one in Federal Way. How far is that from JBLM? New to the area. Moved up from the SoCal group.

Hey there, welcome to the the Washington Chapter. The Jimmy Macs we are going to is In Renton. Here is the address.
225 SW 7th St, Renton, WA 98057

You're looking at about a 50 minute drive from JBLM to jimmy mac's. Shortest route is via I-5

One thing I've learned in the month I've been back up in the PNW... the I5 sucks!! lol.

Working JBLM but my boat is up at the Everett marina. Horrible drive up there each friday.

Ah I see, according to Google maps, there are a few different paths you can take. I-5 is the quickest by a few minutes.

i5 might be quickest at 3am, but he'll want to check traffic to see whats best at the moment.

did we decide on the 26th, or is that still up in the air... and what about a time... maybe 5 or 6...

Alright well, I'll bring the hammer down and say it's final for the 26th. Monday, and we can meet at 5:30-6Pm? This time, no plans for reserving a space for 10 I think I will call and see if I can reserve the corner booth that Brute mentioned. A non specific number I guess.

It's all going to be southbound traffic till you get to my onramp. Then you run into a few idiots not merging till he last second causing everyone to slow.
