Bebop: Yep, Tom Griglock is the same person listed as TomTomSF above. Tom, it will be great to see you see you again. Which of your keyboards are you planning to bring?

Nigel, wonderful to hear that both you and Kerry will be there. Afterall, this event could never have taken place without your foresight & dedication in administering an 'arranger' keyboard specific forum in the FIRST place.

Walt, Wow, it's FANTASTIC that you're able to make it to this truly 'once in a lifetime' Synthzone Convention gathering. This event is quickly becoming a 'dream come true' to finally meet many of the wonderful people I've come to know so well and chat regularly with on Synthzone.

So far, 6 people are confirmed as: 'IN', having already sent in their deposits , at least 7 more people have verbally committed (awaiting deposit confirmation), with an additional number of people still expressing serious interest in coming.

I'm getting increasingly excited (and counting the days now) up to this BIG Synthzone May 22, 23 event! I hope the growing interest & participation by not only California SZ members, but members coming from further afield as well, will attract even MORE members (both in/out of State, and perhaps from other Countries as well) to seriously consider coming to California to attend what promises to be a truly memorable once in a lifetime 'arranger keyboard' experience. Remember, in addition to the Synthzone Convention itself, there is so MANY things to do/see nearby: the romantic city of San Francisco & the Napa Valley Wine Country to the north, and the breathtakenly scenic Monterey Peninsula/Big Sur to the south. All are within an easy 1 drive from San Jose, and let's not forget the attractions of San Jose itself as well.

Ok everyone, here's your BIG chance to experience a vacation of a lifetime. This is an opportunity for you US East Coast, South, North, Centrally located, and global SZ arranger buddies to discover what our Golden 'Granola' State is all about. - Scott
