Bobadohshe Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 It's not quite true that the dinner didn't happen last year. We in fact had a nice little gathering, although it wasn't at Bucca and it was dBless. Considering that I got near food poisioning last year at Todai, I'll welcome a change back to Bucca. Friday it is. For now, count me in. -Bobby Kawai C-60 Grand Piano : Hammond A-100 : Hammond SK2 : Yamaha CP4 : Yamaha Montage 7 : Moog Sub 37 My latest album: Funky organ, huge horn section https://bobbycressey.bandcamp.com/album/cali-native Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marino Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Here's that part of the year when I feel... good? Generous? In Christmas spirit? Full of well-behaved resolutions for New Year? No - I feel [font:Fixedsys]FILLED WITH ENVY AND JELOUSY[/font] because I don't live on the right (well, actually left) side of the Atlantic! (Or the right side of the Pacific) In short, it's NAMM time!!! Do I care about NAMM? Not a bit. Music fairs are all the same - you walk all day, trying to put your hand on new instruments in an impossibly noisy environment, playing the "I'm cooler than you" role when meeting people in the industry, and basically living in an useless madness for a day or two. Plus, you can have real-time updates thru the internet, without losing all that time and energy. All my envy is about the KC dinner. You're all busy organizing it, and I can't be there. Aaargghh! What can I say... have fun, and have a couple on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmcq Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I'm in, for sure. Would be a kick meet all the people with whom I've been chatting for a few years. All these keyboards players in one room at the same time; what a prime target for the out-of-work-rhythm-guitar-players terrorist groups ;-) !!! Reminds me of: Q: How many keyboards players does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: One, but first he has to rewire the whole house. thx Neil myspace.com/AlteredDominant www.Prymary.com NordElectro3/S90XS/SteinwayS(midi'd)/KX88/Apple MBP, iMac/MainStage2/Scrbee/NI Komplete/ApogeeDuet/QSCplx1804/JBLmrx512/SpcStnSRX/LogicPro9/DP/ProTools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marino Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 You'll be missed, my friend. Hey Geoff, I'm still alive! There's time... Actually, last time I was in LA it was '99 - just a few months before joining KC, and being aware of the existence of a man called dB... I certainly want to come back to California some day.

Dave Pierce Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I will also be at NAMM again this year. This time my companion is not nearly so good-looking -- it will be my brother instead of my wife. I will definitely make the dinner if there is still room. My brother isn't a forum member, do you guys mind if he joins us? He does play bass, and at least he's better looking than me. --Dave Make my funk the P-funk. I wants to get funked up.

Dave Bryce Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 18 now....20 if you include the Keyboard editors, a couple of whom are planning on attending. One other thing I wanted to mention - last time I tried to organize one of these, several people who said they were going to attend didn't show, and didn't even let us know they weren't going to come. I believe Buca takes on a different attitude about parties when they're over 20 - last I heard, they required a deposit at that point, and want you to order your food in advance...which turned out to be a Bad Thing last time when a bunch of people didn't show - we had more than a few plates full of uneaten food that had to be paid for, which was a bit embarrassing to me, since I was the one who had ordered the food. That means if anyone else signs up, I probably have to change the status of the reservation and pre-order the food (and they may want to split us up into two tables). Consequently, if you are RSVPing to this (especially if you're planning on bringing non-forum guests), please make sure that you will be able to attend. Please note - this is not intended to discourage anyone who'd like to attend from joining us - just wanna try and get it right this time. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't she have fun last time at Joey D? So what you're saying is your bro is hotter than you but not as hot as Audrey.

Jason Stanfield Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I'll definitely be at NAMM, and - though I'm not a "regular" in this forum, I'm an avid lurker, and I'd love to attend the dinner.

Still Learning Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I will finally have a chance to meet up with you characters at this years KC NAMM Dinner. Dave, please add me to the list and thanks for putting all of this together. I'm looking forward to the dinner even more than the show, (unless the Dean guitar booth-babes start hitting on me that is...) When most people go to work, they work. When musicians go to work, they play. Which do you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
