I'll be there Saturday.  Probably checking out Fountains of Wayne.  May go over Friday, too.  Not sure yet.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

That's too bad, man.  This is the first year I've been off for it, so I'm finally gonna check it out.

I've gone the last few years.  Made it a family vacation.  Are you a local then Tod?

Yeah, they're maybe 3 miles from my house.  Greek fest is also going on this week downtown.  I didn't think anyone came here on vacation.  Usually people can't wait to get out :D

Sweetwater has a downtown? I'm maybe 45 minutes south of you in Soddy Daisy

We come for Gearfest but the kids go to the zoo and stuff.  Is it worth checking out Greek fest too?

I wouldn't go out of my way for it.  There will be some good food, especially if you like Baklava :)

Here's the Gearfest preview for those that have no idea what we're talking about:

Went today.  At then end of the day, Billy Sheehan, Gary Hoey and Terry got together with Terry Bozzio and his GIGANTIC drum set to play an impromtu set.  Nice!

heck yeah that sounds awesome!

Terry's an unusual, but very talented drummer. His setup is unbelievable.
