Dave Bryce Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Who's going? Besides me, I mean. One of these years, it would be cool to get a KC hang there... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doerfler Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 after looking at the dates for Gearfest, coincidentally I had already taken off of work for something else that week/weekend. I could change my plans if a KC hang were to happen. Not currently in the market for any gear, but always like to meet other forum members. So, count me in if a hang develops.

RABid Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I currently have two nights reserved but like Dave I am not in the market for any gear. Because of this I have considered canceling my rooms and using the time and money to travel west. I want to drive from Minnesota to Washington state and knock a few more states off of my list.

Moonglow Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 In! I went last year for the first time and had a great time. Enjoyed hanging out with brother Allan Evett and great to see dB there, as well. Reminds me of a mini-NAMM without the airfare.

Dave Bryce Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 so where does everyone stay? Varies. There's usually not a shortage of places to stay. There's a nice cluster of hotels near Lima Rd. and W. Washington Center Rd. that's fairly close to Sweetwater's campus. Friday evening dinner hang would probably be the best bet as far as making sure everyone who's coming can make it, I would think. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Where and when? Maybe this East Coast kid will try for a road trip if I don't have gigs or other commitments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doerfler Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 so for anyone not working the show, just attending, is 1 day enough or are both days recommended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clonk so for anyone not working the show, just attending, is 1 day enough or are both days recommended? One day is just fine. I now have a reservation for dinner on Friday night for 8 people at 7:30 on Friday June 22nd at a fairly nice restaurant. I can always cancel or modify depending on how/if this works. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Shucks, looks like that weekend will be tough for me. I have a late gig that Friday night and probably not worth trying to travel on Saturday. I'll have to put this on my radar for 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 ... I now have a reservation for dinner on Friday night for 8 people at 7:30 on Friday June 22nd at a fairly nice restaurant. I can always cancel or modify depending on how/if this works. dB Well, count me in. I think I will attend Friday, make a short appearance Saturday to qualify for drawings, and then head northwest. I'm hoping I can get to Fargo by Sunday night. Then I will start driving west until I hit Walla Walla Washington. This post edited for speling.

vonnor Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Me and the Lady will be there Saturday, same as every year. Can't do any evening festivities 'cause we'll be passing through on the way from Toledo to Battle Creek, but we will try to find some of you guys. Always seem to find A.E. without even trying, and one can hear dB's voice from 4 tents away, so... ~ Bill C.

RABid Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I'm still back and forth, but it is a good trip. Sort of a mid-west NAMM for end users. This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoGuyPan Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 6/22 and 6/23 Fort Wayne, Indiana. I am so there. Down for a road trip. What is the official KBC hotel?

The_Star_Guy Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I will be there this year for Saturday only, so I am afraid that I will miss the Friday Night hang. Incidentally, for first timers....one day is plenty, and IMHO absolutely worth the trip as there will be factory reps, interesting product demoes and very often new products being showcased. It is practically as good as Summer NAMM! And the Sweetwater campus is impressive! ---------------------------------------------------------- Gig: Yamaha MODX7, NumaX 73 Piano Studio: Kawai ES-920; Hammond SK Pro 73; Yamaha Motif ES7 w/DX,VL,VH; Yamaha YC 73; Kawai MP-6; Numa Compact 2x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucktunes Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 My wife and I will be there Friday late afternoon, so we can join you all for dinner. It's kind of a "bucket list" thing for me, something I've always wanted to do. Besides, I haven't done a KC hang since 2003 when I still lived in Vegas. Then Saturday will be my "musician's paradise" day. And now that trying before you buy has mostly become a thing of the past, this would probably be my best opportunity to play some keyboards I've never seen in the flesh. I'm not really in the market for anything right now (yeah, right! ), but it will be cool hooking up with many of you. ><> Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Nathan Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 So this is once again the week before Summer NAMM. Since I have no idea, can anyone tell me who (that I would care about) exhibits at Gearfest that does not do Summer NAMM? I'd consider going if there was better representation of keys and software companies. Don't rush me. I'm playing as slowly as I can! http://www.stevenathanmusic.com/stevenathanmusic.com/HOME.html https://apple.co/2EGpYXK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
