Wherever this goes after bushy - I'm gonna break the rules and call ownership so that it is sent to me for chordiestock 2013. I'm sure the folks attending will enjoy seeing the package and we will likely have several items to add. So please, as the originator of this project, let me use my Supreme Powers and request that it is sent to me from whomever it was that receives it from bushy243!

Toney says he'll be here Saturday. His Sunday gigs start at 4 and last until the party's done (well, typically 7 or so, but he says we can stay as late as we want to).
Changed the thread title to CHORDIESTOCK 2013 - who wants a T-shirt?

OK - I have reserved the clubhouse at my condo for Saturday, 2/23. We have it all day and night, must be cleared out by 11:30 pm. Not sure about grilling arrangements, but there is a full kitchen in the clubhouse and a very good pizza place close by. I figured we'd make Saturday the main jam get-together day but of course folks are welcome to come / go as they please. The clubhouse is right next to one of the (heated) pools, so bring your suits (kids too).
Amy - the rules allow for 72 hours of RV parking "for loading purposes". I'm confident that as long as the noise was kept down, parking an RV for the weekend would likely go unnoticed. Not sure what you do for utilities though.

Now let's see - two Hawaiian shirts, a pair of swim trunks, and some sandals. Packing list complete.
That would normally be fine, but check the weather report first! Lows in the 40's this weekend and high only of 60. Had to turn on the heat for the first time ever.
back to the 70's on Monday though!

We are actually thinking... RV... OMG! Figured it would cost the same to rent an RV or rent a car and stay in motels. Although, we've never done the RV thing before. The movie scares me (that's our luck! LOL). I can see us parked in some truck stop somewhere sharing a meal with some scary trucker and Katie saying he looks like Santa. Oh geez! Is there a spot to park an RV in front of your place Jeff? ha ha ha!
I live in a fairly large condo complex - park out front until you get tossed out is what I'd do! If you want power and stuff though - look into Fort De Soto Park - It's less than 20 miles south and I hear its awesome down there. There are closer private RV parks, but I get the feeling they are more permanent residences and not sure they offer short-term rentals.

This is turning out to be EPIC - We've got me, Toney and Paul confirmed, Zurf, and Wayne sound better than 95%, Amy and Astro seem committed. I've invited Toots via facebook and ... get this..... Old Doll messaged that she may be interested. Chris - I know you are up for a road trip - you in? February 18th through the 26th - the weekend of 2/22 through 2/25 should be the peak time. Anybody else interested? Average high temps in February are Mid 70's - who else could use a mid-winter break? CHORDIESTOCK Madeira Beach 2013

Re: Worst christmas songs 2012 (14 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Thanks Nom' - I'll be playing that one at Toney's gig Sunday.
And DE - The Robert Earl Keen song is a family tradition at my place and I've played it the last few Sundays.
Back to the original topic though, I'll add any Christmas song sung by Bruce Springsteen is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me! Hate isn't strong enough a word.

Sorry guys, my husband already got the last one.
We'd all be lucky to find a gal like Amy. Reminded me of this John Prine Lyric (from It's a Big Old Goofy World):
She'd sing like an angel, and eat like a bird
And if I wrote a song, she'd know every single word

Best prices I've found is Allegiant Air into Tampa, for what it's worth. I don't know anything about Allegiant Air, but at 1/3 the cost of anyone else, I'll find out soon enough.
Zurf - I fly the wife down on Allegient on a monthly basis. Definitely a no frills airline - added fees for carry-on's, checked bags, etc. The biggest drawback is they fly a limited schedule. For the wife that is flying down on Thursday's and returning on Sundays - that's the only 2 days they fly from Greensboro. If it's similar for you and you can't pass up the deal I understand - would just hate for you to miss Toney's Jam on Sunday. That said - with this crowd, I'm expecting Toney to join us for an afternoon Jam in addition to the Sunday gig.

I live in Madeira Beach - On the Gulf (west) side of St. Petersburg, just south of Clearwater. Tamp International is the closest large airport. There is a small St. Petersburg / Clearwater airport as well (both are equally convenient for me).
This sounds like a good time in the makin'!!!
