It might be a bit early for this and my apologies to John if I'm hijacking the thread.

This is what I'm putting on the swapper table, I need soundboards, brace wood, linings, etc.

New $900 +
Ebay $400 + -

That will depend on the number . As for local brewery's Yuengling is Pottsville PA and is now America's largest brewery. There is also a heck of a Chicken BBG restaurant in Bethel Kaufman's . I will keep you all posted.

Martin is also sending a person to help with you guys on Wood procurement and he know the Lacey and Cities regs pretty good. A big thank you there to CF Martin.

Sure...bunk up and save! Bet we've got you, Filippo, Luigi, Rachel, Jeff, Aaron, Mark and probably a few more. Now we just have to find a decent local brewery to check out for eats and drinks.

I was pleasantly surprised on the food and drink in Hegins! I'd be there except for my probable strike here at work . :cry:

My buddy Mark and I are heading up Thursday to get close to Martin. Friday, unless we find other digs, are going to head up to East Stroudsburg/Downtown Poconos. Got to know it from A.S.I.A. There is a Hotel walking distance from Bars and Guitars. I caught a few live acts. Nice area.
Any other ideas for Friday night? Closer to John would be great.
Saturday head in first thing to the Blues Creek Open House.
Saturday night?
