From the sounds of it (no pun intended) you're going to have a great time. I wish I could be there to hear it. Please keep us informed on the outcome. Have fun everyone.

Leon (shboom): You CAN make your 'wish' come true. Just head south (down the West Coast) from scenic BC, Canada and join us on the May 22nd in San Jose, CA. Would love to see you at our Synthzone get together. I've ridden and highly recommend taking the scenic train from BC, Canada to San Jose via the Amtrack Coast Starlight, one of the most scenic train routes in the USA.

I have received three more checks from
Scott Yee, California
Roger Mepstead, England
Boo Hargis, Colorado.

I will try to get to the bank tomorrow and cash these checks. As soon as they clear in about 10 days I will be able to book the clubhouse and these 9 people will be confirmed for the SynthZone JAM
BEBOP
PS: Latest news: I met with Ronee, our manager this morning for coffee and she has allowed me to have a positive and exclusive booking of the clubhouse for May 22/23 and it is confirmed as of now, and would only be subject to cancellation if the required deposit is not in her hands a week or two before hand. So WE ARE CONFIRMED.
Get your 10.00 check in the mail if you want to be confirmed also. Then you will get a timeslot, a door pass and any snacks inside.
Thanks to all. Looking forward to meeting you all as in all y'all

ShBoom,
I too am sorry to hear you are not coming as we might have once been neighbors. I came from Anacortes originally and used to play up in BC and also Bellingham. Even have an x wife from Burnaby. We could have lotsa interesting conversations. I was at Victoria last year as our Alaska cruise from San Francisco stopped there.
Best to you
Bebop

I am too Bill. You've got my e-mail. If you're up this way, let me know, it would be great to meet you.
What am I saying...it would be great to meet any of you.
Have a great time people.

HI All,
One of the checks I received from a UK member attending presents some interesting problems. I now can understand what the guy in Spain was talking about regarding sending in his deposit for this Synthzone Jam.
I took all the checks to the bank yesterday to deposit and clear them. I was advised by the bank manager that the UK check in Pounds Sterling would have to be placed with a clearing house for collection. This will take 6 to 8 weeks to clear it and it will be subject to fees depending on the check and their fee schedule. The manager was unable to quote me the fee from the clearing house.
That said you are now warned do not send me Checks. Place the equivelent amount of cash in tin foil, wrap in paper and mail it to me at my address that is in this post.
When you get here do not plan on cashing any checks. You will have no problem with cash or credit cards getting instant conversion cash at any US bank from your Credit Card Advance.
You have to remember that a check is a line of credit and is not money, until it is paid by your bank.
I hope this info will help those of you on foreigh soil that are planning on attending.
We are now short 5.00 for the deposit. ANYBODY GOT A CHECK IN THE MAIL FOR ME?? I hope
Thanks to all,
Bebop
