I'll share the post I put on the FB event page for those who aren't on FB or otherwise may have missed it:

OK - There are some newbies coming this year, so I thought I'd share the "agenda" - there really is no agenda so please feel free to come and go as you please. In addition to back porch pickin' daily from 10AM to 2AM, this is what typically shakes out:
WEDS - Paul will be here and Joe will be arriving, right now I am thinking we will head up to Seminole Mickey Quinn's for their Open Mike.
THURS - Most of the out-of-towners will be arriving, so it's airport / welcome day. Casual jams at my place, usually order pizza for dinner. (i'm contemplating changing this up to corned beef and cabbage for those who need that traditional St. Paddy's day meal, sine I won't be making in on Saturday)
FRI - Set-up, prep day - maybe happy hour at DS? Sunset jam weather permitting. Dinner? - unsure.. (Robert is bringing dinner)
SAT - Party day - Folks usually start showing up anytime after noon. I'm going easy this year, just making burgers, dogs and brats on the grill. If anyone wants to bring a side, feel free.
SUN - Bloody Mary's at DS at noon (because that's what I do every Sunday ). Casual afternoon, then we take over Toney Hall's jam at Jimmy's in IRB Sunday evening (still to be confirmed)
MON - Clean up and GTFO day!

CAN'T WAIT!!

Beamer mentioned that this might be the most chordians at any chordiestock yet and he may be correct, Along with DE, we now have me, Zurf, Normtheguitar, Beamer, BGD, JJJ, (that's 7 regular contributors), plus ex-moderator Southpaw41 (Toney) and Topdawg (Robert), and UJB is still a "maybe" - so potentially 10 of us total. I do believe that qualifies as the most chordians ever at a CS and possibly the most ever to gather at a single event. That's AWESOME! Throw in the 20+ non-chordians that are coming and this is turning out to be another great year!

Several years ago a wise man named Wayne said you should wear a hat every time you pick up a guitar. I have heeded his advice ever since

^ JJJ - If you don't want to travel with a guitar, I've got a couple of spares you are welcome to borrow.

There is no rookie tradition as of yet, perhaps someone will come up with one? Of course a shot of your beverage of choice will be offered!

As far as other instruments go, as long as it doesn't plug in you are welcome to bring along whatever you can squeeze in your suitcase. We will have a percussionist here (Cowboy)  and I have a small assortment of shakey and bangey and jingly things, but more are welcome!

^ I've never made corned beef in my life, but if you wanna cook it, I'll be happy to buy what you need and my kitchen is yours to use. Just send me the ingredients.

Welcome to the Team!

You'd lose that bet Zurf - I get all of my strings from Strings and Beyond. Been using them for years -great prices, fast free shipping (for orders over $35 I think) - they always have deals as well. (I have no affiliation with S&B).

I do use the DR strings on my CA as Zurf says - this guitar lives on my back porch subject to the heat, humidity and salt air environment. They last forever, sound good and look cool on my "plastic" guitar. I bought a set on a whim several years ago and just thought they fit that guitar. I like changing colors for the occasion - think I'll have to go with green for chordiestock since it falls on st. paddy's day

My go-to strings on my other acoustics are John Pearse - they just sound the best to me. YMMV

I believe The Last Time by the Stones (E, D, A) qualifies. That's all I got.

Nicely done Russ - Been a while since you've posted a vid and I really like the back to basics acoustic blues! You still got it!

There is only one reason - Will it make me a rock star and get me chicks?

I'm still searching.................

Glad to hear it Beamer! I am making my airport run on Thursday, so I won't be able to get you on Friday. I think the cheapest option is the Airport Super Shuttle where you can get a ride for about $30. Uber is also an option, but I don't know how much it costs.

I should be able to get you back to the airport on Monday though - I plan on making a trip mid afternoon, depending on everyone's flight times. Zurf is departing at 4:30ish, close enough to your flight. See ya in March!
