So if it goes ahead... I'm so sorry about Huddersfield - I was really looking forward to it

Right I've jumped on it.

I literally applied for an ESTA and it went STRAIGHT through in ten mins!

This is absolutely insane, honestly... if our director approves the flights I'll be leaving 8am tomorrow and not back until Sunday night.

Remember to print out your ESTA, and get travel insurance for the US too.

congrats!

Dude, this really isn't something for which you need to apologise. 

thomasross20

Looks like I'm going.

Now get packing.

Tommy - sounds like a bit of luck/opportunity has come your way - so you have to go. Real shame you won’t be at Huddersfield - but no one will be anything other than thrilled that something good’s happening for you.

Get on it - where in the US?

Another time man, career of course comes first, we will manage without you

Doubt you will be the last to drop out either, damn quiet in those threads.

Have a good one, you deserve it

Worcester, MA it sounds like. 

All the best Tom! you deserve a bit of luck and good fortune.

Nothing to apologise for - stuff comes up, and whilst I'm thoroughly looking forward to Hudd and understand the guilt angle, there are some things that would take priority even if they came up on Saturday morning. It's just the way it is. Go, have a good time, come back safe, and book in for the next one ...

All us Huddersfield lot will miss you, but are also chuffed for you

Of course you've only got 11hrs now to convince someone to take your place at the jam..

Hope that works @thomasross20 ; FWIW and you have a good trip.

Masachussets is one of the good parts. When it comes to the USA, keep to the edges, most of the places to avoid are in the middle. When I worked in that industry, I did enjoy the trips to Silicon Valley, even though they worked us like slaves.

thomasross20

Thanks for that!
Yeah Si Valley - not a great working environment, I hear. 
I will record the songs I was GOING to play when I get back

Work did give me all that time off, too. It's super short notice (leave tomorrow if I go) and a pain in the ass TBH (I hate short notice like that)

It's Worcester

Not far from Boston. Cool. At least it's not Worcester in the West Midlands.

But I have heard Worcester Ma, is a bit of a dive as well.

Go. We'll play some duff notes for you in your absence.

have fun, try to find a cheap Larrivee!

thomasross20

Flight's been delayed, better not lose my baggage as going to miss connecting flight! 
Driving a right-hand automatic through Boston is going to be fun....!

Enjoy !!!!!!!!

The guitar meet-up event (Fretboard meetup)

Gotta say get the priorites right here. Career vs the fretboard. It's a no brained. 

Glad to see you are going!
