Dan Gould Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Please vote for one but also post a list in your order of preference, so that #1 and best alternate can be determined. That will give us an idea of the true consensus of the board, pending the decision of the Chicago Festival management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted December 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 I vote for Chicago with St. Louis as alternate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 #1 - St. Louis #2 - Chicago Nothing against Lansing, but the other two would be much easier and cheaper for me to get to (especially St. Louis). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonm Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Although I would prefer St. Louis, I voted for the Chicago Festival (not fistaval) in the event the guys get to play. To sum this up: #1 Chicago #2 St. Louis #3 Lansing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted December 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Since this and other polls have been already created, I would respectfully also submit that a vote for Lansing be equated with a vote for Ann Arbor/Detroit or that this and other Lansing polls be closed and that a new poll featuring Ann Arbor/Detroit be created in its place - provided of course that the board members do in fact agree that Ann Arbor/Detroit is in actually what was really intended when we said that it would be great to catch an Organissimo performance in Lansing. Looks like a new poll is in order Actually its a well argued point, Ed, the one thing that would concern me is that the event would need to coincide with a gig, and I wonder how far in advance that notice could be given?

Looks like a new poll is in order Actually its a well argued point, Ed, the one thing that would concern me is that the event would need to coincide with a gig, and I wonder how far in advance that notice could be given? Ed made several good points. My vote, this time, was still for Lansing, for the reasons I stated before, but of course, the majority rules. Chicago and St Louis were the next in line for me. I don't want to end up in Lansing, if everyone else is somewhere else. The whole idea is to get together in a location that is fairly easy to get to, and if we hear the band too, well that would be icing on the cake. The first consideration is getting together and meeting our fellow board members. If it's too far, or too expensive, that may discourage some from attending, so maybe put that into the equasion. That's not an issue for people who live in the area, but it is for people like me who have to come a fair distance and aren't millionaires.

catesta Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 My kind of town Chicago is..... Out of the other available choices, St. Louis is second, and Lansing is third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 I like your thinking on this, Ed. There are two jazz clubs that we play at in Ann Arbor. The challenge is booking a date at one or the other that gives everyone enough lead time to make travel arrangements. Normally we book one to two months in advance, which is not much lead time for such things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally we book one to two months in advance, which is not much lead time for such things. I like the idea as well. Again, I can put some people up. I live only 45 minutes from Ann Arbor. The idea should be to see Organissimo live locally, and we can all get together in a big city later in the year (like Chicago.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 As it is a direct flight from Tokyo on United, Chicago would be great for me and I would seriously consider trying to attend. Sounds like a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally we book one to two months in advance, which is not much lead time for such things. We also may have some hits in metro Detroit. I've been in contact with the management at Baker's Keyboard Lounge about getting in there next year. If we could nail down a date and how many people were actually going to make the trip, I think I could convince either club owner in Ann Arbor to give us a weekend... especially if a decent amount of people were coming specifically to hear us.

doubleM Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Chi. St. Louis Lansing I've never been to Chicago, and my long-distance girlfriend (from Minneapolis) could meet me there. And, I hope to see Organissimo playing at the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricia Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 (edited) Now Ann Arbour looks good and all that needs to be determined is when. As I mentioned, anytime after the end of June would be good for me. I'd really like a couple of months lead time to make plans, but, as has been mentioned, by everyone, the thing is to get together and a gig in Ann Arbour would be a great place to do that. It seems a little livelier than Lansing, no offence to Lansing, of course. Edited December 16, 2003 by patricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted December 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Now Ann Arbor looks good yet its last in the polls ... I suggest we give this thing through the holidays, but right now it looks like everything is on hold until Chicago decides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I was suprised to see the additional votes for St. Louis myself. But Dan's right, it's all hanging on news from Chicago at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connoisseur series500 Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 (edited) Now Ann Arbor looks good yet its last in the polls ... These polls of yours keep changing, Dan. I thought Lansing already beat out St. Louis in the other poll? Now Chicago has been thrown in. What about Ann Arbor? Again, I feel we are talking about two different meetings here. The Ann Arbor meeting refers to the opportunity to catch Organissimo live in a small club and it can serve as a get together at the same time. The Chicago meeting will be a grander affair with potentially more people showing up. If you don't want to come to Ann Arbor, then that's fine Dan. I realize that you will be coming from a long distance. But there are quite a few of us who are willing to see Organissimo in Ann Arbor. These same people might also go to Chicago later on as well.

Jazzmoose Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I'm refraining from voting, because to be realistic, I wouldn't make it anyway. It would be nice if we could have some "regional" meetings, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
