I was thinking the same thing - would love to do it again but wouldn't want to take away anyone's first chance. I would say if you're coming to the convention. you owe it to yourself to go on the tour too. — Bill S._______ HELLDIVER on Facebook Top
mom_surfing Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 5297 the outer banks of north carolina	Posted on Apr 04 2011 07:23 PM yes, if you didn't do the fender tour last year do yourself a favor and sign up if it happens again. i too don't want to take the spot from someone who missed out last year so i'm going to stick around to do the wedge, rendezvous and maybe breakfast tour monday morning instead. — www.surfintheeye.com Top

Posted on Apr 05 2011 02:22 PM Thanks Guys, and MOM, if it happens, I will ask all of the out of town bands first, then if anyone new who hasn't gone before. then if there is open spots, you are welcome to come again. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top
Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on Apr 05 2011 06:41 PM The stuff Mom mentions is actually also a must see, too. If you haven't done it you should do it if possible. Something I would willingly repeat. Top

Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on Apr 06 2011 02:31 PM Here's a good thing to remember about the Fender tour. You must have closed shoes for it. No sandals or open toed women's heels, etc. It's an industrial setting. Last year they happened to have some emergency shoes behind the desk for the two people who forgot. But I don't think you want to count on that (or on their fitting), even if you like wearing shoes random other people have worn. I don't remember if tenis shoes were OK. Top

I wore Converse Chuck Taylors...all was good...it was the "closed-toe shoe" Fender was looking for ... no flip flops, no sandals, no high heels... like you said: It's a factory/manufacturing center... they'll make you wear good walking shoes and safety glasses!
