    Yes. It looks like a 2009 UK show or two is on, and I'm still on to do gathering duty - hey, did it done it been to it! - I was just jealous of all these convention stories! Not corporate?

    I've been to all of the East Coast ones: had my pic taken with Geoff Downes at Cherry Hill. MSG was a blast: that convention included the beginning of my infamous 'Chris and flannel' story. My first was 91 in Philly. I got some great pics from that one, including the jam session with Alan, Rick and Tony. I know they're somewhere..when I find them, I'll post 'em.
    No sense in being pessimistic. It wouldn't work anyway.

    I seriously hope we're not waiting for the band to announce a tour before planning for the UK '09 gathering is started. That left us without an official gathering this year. Just my 2 cents.............

    If you build it, we will come.

    Two tours announced, and not one show played. Horse before the cart.

    Hi there.....for what it's worth, I'm well up for helping to get something going over here (but I couldn't do it on my own)....I've had some experience of promoting small festivals etc. have contact with some YES members and of course regularly work with Fragile. Would anyone else be up for discussing further this prospect further?

    Interesting! Need more detail? As they say on the terraces 'who are ya, who are ya?'.

    Jonah and I have had a Gathering in the UK on the back burner for some time now. All offers of help gratefully reveived.

    Thats a definite. A gathering with some stuff organised would be good. I am part of the Hash House Harriers and if they can arrange an international get together of like minded people every couple of years then anyone can LOL

    I have a high school friend that hashes. Her and her friends have some interesting hashing names.

    If you are ever looking for a Hash and are going to New Hampshire.... let me know and I will put you in touch with her. Her hash group has a website.
