Some players will be better than others. It's a chance to interact with other guitarists and learn and have fun.
This is a first for me also. I am coming from Scotland, so I am in a similar boat, er..........aeroplane to you. :laugh:
It will be a blast!

I'm pretty sure there are no rules attached to any of this. It may give you incentive to practice more, which has got to be good!Hi
I've booked my place. Is there going to be any pre course homework? If not are you going to recommend any lessons we need to brush up on? It's kinda scarey as I've never done this before and got no idea of the standard required. Also those of us who have now paid up will we get further updates and maybe informed of others attending from our home country. I'm travelling from England and it's a long flight on your todd (English slang for on your own). Finally I see it's a Quaker Resort - does that mean no booze???? :S

I was thinking that it would be a good idea, as we get closer to the date, to start keeping a list of who is coming and maybe try to coordinate some travel plans. Although I'm in the UK now, I'll be moving to Berkeley this summer, so will be relatively local and would be happy to pick up some people from the airport and provide a place to sleep for a few days before and after -- obviously for a limited number of people, but I'm sure there are other local hosts who'd be interested in easing the journey and spending some extra time together.

Yep, I am just 5 or 6 hours south along the Pacific Coast (Ventura, CA, USA). I will be traveling alone too, but certainly not to the extent that you or Tom will be. B)
Tom Brings up a great point about practicing. I know that there will be players of all levels, and I am expecting to be closer to the bottom end. However, I am very excited about immersing myself into the camp and getting as much out of it as I can. Even if I am the least experienced player (politically correct term for worst player... :woohoo: ), I will certainly gain something and improve. Plus I will get a chance to meet so many of you...

I believe there's actually a Titanic 2 and it's to make the same journey 100 years after the original one, but it's fully booked. Anyway it only goes to New York........well........If it doesn't meet any icebergs on the way. :huh: :dry: Doesn't matter though, because it's unsinkable. :laugh: Anyway I'm flying to America.Tom Wrote:Remember Tom , don't go o the Titanic !!!This is a first for me also.

That's a pretty neat and generous idea.I was thinking that it would be a good idea, as we get closer to the date, to start keeping a list of who is coming and maybe try to coordinate some travel plans.

Great reply's Guy's (Americanism, just getting into the swing...ummm) and some v generous thoughts from sws626. Tom N I'll probably go from Heathrow with Virgin; don't know if they've named one of their jumbo's Titanic 2 ?? (where are the smiley faces on this website!) :/
Most disturbing thing is no one has answered my question about booze (alcohol). Will I need to smuggle it in to the Quaker Camp??? Don't get me wrong I'm no alcoholic but "a wee dram" does help one to relax and I'll need it big stlye; and that's just to help sleep in those dormitories!!
