Discuss current members such as Mac McAnally, Peter Mayer, Jim Mayer, Robert Greenidge and others, or discuss past band members such as Fingers Taylor, Ralph MacDonald, and Amy Lee.
And if you want to come and spend time in Kemah, there is going to be a meet and greet the night before. For $50 you get an incredible meal, some pan music and you get to meet and greet the band. Like being backstage at a Buffett concert without Buffett.
The official hotel is South Shore Harbour Resort. If you mention Pan Jam, the rooms are $100 a night, rather than $125 - $140. Get a few people together, it will be worth it. She is working on arranging shuttle service so you don't have to mess with cars.
Sounds like a good deal! The dinner is first come, first serve, so if you are interested, check it out.
