Most of you will recognize my daughter, Corradina. She's as enthusiastic a music fan as anyone I know. She's very proud of this T-shirt. I'm very proud of her. She's wanted to meet all of you for a long time. I can't bring her this time, but I'll try to bring her next year.

This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got.

Is that hotel within walking distance of the show?

Yep, it is; it was close to the Casbah, but it's even closer to the Motorco.

I will hopefully have the link for tickets ready by Tuesday, if not sooner. Still working on a deal with the Duke Tower People (they're a bit tricky to work with, as they don't check their emails, and prefer you meet them in person rather than just blab with them on the phone).

PS--there is likely also going to be a slight lineup adjustment in the near future, as it was recently brought to my attention that we're missing a band that agreed to participate. This is totally my fault, and I'm trying to rectify the matter.

Update: The ticket link is now on the first post of this thread. Git 'em!

Also, due to that previously mentioned goof on my part, we've added one more band, which brings the 2014 total to Twenty-Eight bands in one weekend--a new Instro Summit Record.

I have to wait until Saturday to order my ticket. 28 bands!

Crisp is just plain............DA MAN.

Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps?

Okay, the Rooms at the Duke Tower Hotel are now under the Instro Summit banner. Call either the number Noel mentioned (866)-381-3869 or (919)-687-4444. They take AAA and AARP discounts, and any room reserved before March 1st gets another five bucks off the nightly rate.

Most importantly, let them know you're with the Instro Summit. For every 12 rooms the Summit reserves, we get another 5 five bucks off the room rate for everybody. If everyone had followed this procedure last year, all the rooms would have been 15 bucks less, so be sure to drop our name!

I'm also putting this info on the first page, in case you want to deal with this later. I currently have 10 rooms held under the Instro Summit name through April 10th (and yes, they'll give us more if we need 'em).

I'm having issues with the computer today, but I'm hoping I'll have the Instro Summit Raffle pages set up and ready to go before the day is up. I'll post here when things are in order.

Well, I am going to be attending this event. I plan on seeing all 28 bands and entering the Link Wray solo contest and the Rumble play-along too.

A few questions...are there going to be plenty of seats at this venue? What's max capacity?

During the Rumble play-along, does every guitar player get their own amp to play through or how exactly does that work?

Are there going to be any pre-parties or late-night after-parties/jam sessions with some of the bands?

Lastly...are there going to be any guitar vendors at this show and if yes, which one(s)?

Thanks!

1. Mom answered very well on the Rumble Jam.

2. Honestly, as nice as pre or after parties sound, this thing is so jam packed that there really isn't time. As it stands, it can be difficult to even keep everyone in there for the final band each night, as there are usually 6+ hours of surf bands leading up to that.

3.Depinto Guitars has been there the last few years.

THE KBK ... This is the last known signal. We offer Sanctuary.

And I bring a demo Quilter Aviator Ultralight Eight and MicroPro-200 8" for anyone to play.

Thank you for the answers! I am really looking forward to this, although I hope there is plenty of seating because the thought of standing for 6+ hours (12+ on that Saturday) isn't very appealing.
