I'll get the details as soon as I have them, but we're going to have a CBG performer in SE Missouri some time in September. I think they're call Him and Her, and she builds and plays CBG. They're going to be at the Vault in Farmington, MO. Soon as they post details, I'll pass them along.

Just found the group!  Thought Uncle John and I were the only two CBGers in the central states!  Let's get the revolution going in the midwest!   Check out my pics so I can get some feedback from gods country  Later all..........Oh ya, I'm from the middle of Minnesota, 10,000 lakes and 15 gazillion frickin' mosquitos!!!!!!!!!!!
