That's a thought Steve- I'll have to discuss your suggestion with Walt.   & I've gotta
touch base with Kanad Ghose as well on the post fest approach with all our footage!   
He said he also had a few ideas!

Thanx Howard for stayin' on top of 'both' moderators
of this 'top notch' VENTURES FORUM.   

While I'd like to attach a pic of 'the newly designed' fest
tee that you & Lucia ordered, I also encounter problems
since I don't know how to downsize the photo on the site.

I can tell you that I initially ordered 75 shirts in various sizes
in two colors- black & brown savanna & have & already moved
out half of them to our 'regular' jammers & thru mail orders.

Many of the fans here are also facebook fans & are aware I'm sure
of the 2016 VENTURES INTERNATIONAL FAN FEST PAGE.   If you go
there & scroll thru the posts, photos have been uploaded.   However,
you'll notice red highlighter 'round the year 2008.   That was removed!

In the meantime, I'll try to find the software Walt sent me to use here
for all attachments!   

Thanx again for your reminder.   You should be named 'third' moderator!

Excellent news Rich.   Please provide me your
T-shirt size so I can order you a 'commemorative'
shirt.   

64
Yes Wally's in need of a bass player. 
 
Sounds like a plan to me!

65
Thumbs up from this end.   A 'mighty fine' bass player!

No, color costs a bit more but the more we order,
the lower the price.   Right now, I'd like to get the
# of orders up to 24.   We're currently 'round a half
dozen.   Plenty of 'interested' parties still out there to
E-mail.   I'm optimistic.   Even thinkin' of adding to our
design.   Will keep everyone posted!

This will be the 'third' consecutive year that I chose
to use the 'same design' for the fest ID CARD.   So
other than the date change & the fact I allowed a tad
more' space for the 'name tag,' the attached photo is
pretty much a repeat of our '014 & '015 versions.

We will also be offering out a different 'commemorative'
tee shirt at the event this year.   The design will remain
the same (front) but instead of a white tee, we're changin'
the color to tan.   

68
So does that mean you've re-considered &
will see us in October for 'fan fest weekend?'

You really can't get more music in life than
that & you even get to be 'involved' bigtime!

I like the idea a lot Walt.   Let's see if some of those returning
(Ken Arnold, Vic Hines, Chris Monk, Noel Squitieri, Michael
Waters) jammers can take the 'bull by the horns' & follow thru!

Thanx for the Miller's 'trip update.'   I'll expect you
to take me up on the T-shirt which'll cost you a
mere $20.

This makes it (3) posts in a row Rich with a WINK!

How 'bout joining us at the 'fan fest' come October
& if you say NO, would you at least 'support' us w/
a 'commemorative' tee shirt purchase or perhaps
last year's DVD SET?   

A little birdie, let's add the phrase 'pain in the ass'
to that- tells me that you're 'now' officially settled
in down south & have absolutely no excuses for not
comin.'   So your next step is to get a list of excuses
off to 'that person' right away!   LOL!

Outside of playing a 'mean' lead guitar,
that's what he does 'best.'   

'Exact' locale' on the various views would
truly tell a story but 'sadly' not possible,
at least in this instance.   Again 'kudos' on
what you did accomplish!

I second Walt's reply Rich- nice job.   

Being retired like you, I often get 'nudged'
the same way by the main moderator.   He
really keeps me on my toes.   

In fact, I just posted (day in advance) this
year's 'song suggestion' list for all the 'fest
jammers.'   Check it out.   Plenty of 'rather
interesting' non-Ventures material.

Ventures Fan Fest / '016 FEST SONG SUGGESTIONS?
« on: February 18, 2016, 10:36:30 am »
Decided to reach out to the forum members for some
SONG SUGGESTIONS for our 'gathered' jammers
come SATURDAY OCTOBER 1ST, 2016!

In the past several years, what's made the annual fest
'better than ever' each go-round is the fact these 'stalwart'
VENTURES FANS have themselves become 'cover bands,' in
many instances lately covering songs 'our heroes' never did
in their long career.   One year we successfully 'pulled off' a
VENTURES PLAY THE BEACH BOYS twelve song set. 

Some of the suggestions from our jammers this year include:

REBEL WALK & CANNONBALL by Duane Eddy
F.B.I. by The Shadows
FREIGHT TRAIN by Rusty Draper
THAT'LL BE THE DAY by Buddy Holly
THIS DIAMOND RING by Gary Lewis & the Playboys
BYE BYE LOVE by The Everly Brothers

just to name a few!

I plan to submit the 'official' 2016 list to all jammers by mid-March
so get your thoughts in ASAP!

Thank you- fest host Tom B.
