First Annual Sunny California VIRTUAL CBG & Roots Music Fest ~ February 2nd until ????

You, my friends are cordially invited to the First Annual Sunny California VIRTUAL CBG & Roots Music Fest

(Note: as used here, virtual means IMAGINARY).

This is a potluck meal, so please bring a covered dish. If you can, bring a signature dish from your region, such as fried okra from the American south, tortillas from Mexico, sweet corn from Iowa, Fish and Chips from the U.K. and Vegamite sandwiches from Australia.

Please RSVP and tell us what vehicle you will be driving and what snacks you are bringing. Air Force One takes up a lot of space. There will be limited parking for air craft. There is plenty of boat and submarine parking, but it is first come first serve. We have room for over 100 buses. We've been told to expect busses from Canada, Mexico, Australia, Holland and the U.K. We hope the U.K. folks will drive at least one of those double decker busses.

Activities include: continuous open mike in several different areas. Vendors. Submarine races. Disc Golf Tournament. Largest and smallest fish contest at the fishing event . Nude beach. Regular beach. Disco. The grand opening of the west coast branch of Uncle John's Pawn shop (free corn dogs to the first 500). Ugly dog contest at 4 pm. Goat Rope Rodeo at 5 pm. And MANY MORE.

Please RSVP. ASAP. WTF.

A little late to this party but I am so stoked! I am leaving in the morning at first, or at the latest, second light. Going to hitch over from sunny Michigan carrying nothing but a smile. I plan to document this epic journey via a live streaming virtual blog, and will build my guitar along the way from found parts and generous blog readers who hopefully will leave key pieces at strategic points. See you soon!

Kigar, I have a used D string for you and your choice of several boxes. Who is driving the Michigan bus?

Did you ever doubt that humans walked on the moon? Did you always kind of think the king of rock and roll faked his death so he could live quietly and do his own thing? Well, we have a guy calling himself E.A.P. signed up for one of the open mics. He's going to play a Tennessee LPG and do 'Love Me Tender', 'Jail House Rock' and 'That's All Right Momma'.

No word from the king of CBGs (as of yet - and he would be welcome and we'd get him a 30 minute playing slot).

Some big stars are expected, most incognito. Please play it cool and treat them like regular CBG folks.

Mud slides! Fire! Over crowding! We'll only have the crowds at Cigar Box Point. Looking forward to seeing you again. BTW... Do you recall the $10 I lent you?
