OK, we've talked about this in the past, so now I'm proposing an actual event for July 2017 in New York State.
Matt Finley hosts an annual music event on Lake George, usually during the last week of July. Everything I've seen and heard about it requires truck loads of superlatives in order to describe it adequately! Matt runs with the pros, so the music alone would be well worth the trip for anyone who can make it!
The fellowship with BIAB friends would be icing on the cake, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
This is a feeler post to gauge interest and provide sufficient time for planning. Unless something unexpected happens, I'm planning to attend.
Whether this turns into a large turnout or something involving only a few, I'm sure that whoever comes will be glad they did.
More info will be made available as July 2017 gets closer.

Pat count me in. As soon as you get a date please let me know. Lake George in one of the lakes that my wife and I haven't been on yet. It will be our 50th wedding anniversary next year so this would be a nice short trip for us.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Cool! Thanks for weighing in Mario! And congratulations on an amazingly solid 50 years of marriage! You both must be remarkable people!
Note to everybody else:
OK, here's at least 3 forum regulars who will be in one place at the same time... and it's a BEAUTIFUL place too! The scenery alone would justify the trip! Likewise, Matt's music alone would justify the trip... but when you put it all together, it's going to be a unique intersection of experiences that those who join in will be talking about for years.
I'm sure Matt will be busy managing the Music event, so we won't be able to impose on him for anything more than a bit of his time. As a resort town, I'm sure we can find house rentals, motels or campgrounds nearby (depending on how long you want to stay and the degree of luxury you require in your accommodations. I'll probably stick around for a few days (or not) depending on availability of accommodations.
And it's over a year away, so nobody can say they didn't have time to plan.

And Matt, as soon as you know the date for your 2017 concert, please let us know so any interested parties can start to research and book lodging.

If the stars align well, then Anita and I will try to make the trip. We'll keep our fingers crossed.

Hey John, that would be AWESOME! I really enjoyed the conversations we had during my visit to your home, and it would be great to pick up where we left off!

It is a wonderful idea and a beautiful part of the country. Like you say Pat, it is a long time away so hard to make any promise, but if there were a way for me to break away for an extended road trip with the wife I would love to give it my best try.

Depending on when in July it is, I would be big time up for it! That would be a blast! Great idea!

Great idea! although it's too soon to nail the date down, be thinking in terms of the last week in July or first week in August 2017. That gives us all a 2 week window to block out on the calendar and not put anything else there. ;-)

if you come, don't forget to bring your guitar! I bet we could find an evening to jam!

I don't play guitar; can I come? [kidding]
Yes, my concert is most likely July 25, 2017. Outside chance it will be August 1 but unlikely. They haven't even finished this year's entertainment schedule, but I have first dibs on dates each year as we anchor the concert series.

Cindy and I just got a new truck and camper. A year from now I may know how to operate everything. It would be a fun trip.

A man with a new truck and camper just about HAS to take a road trip to see his BIAB forum buddies! We'll find a local restaurant and test the waitress's patience, like we did that poor gal in Myrtle Beach! ;-)

Early expressions of interest may change by July 2017, so it doesn't make sense to say much about accommodations until we have a hard number of attendees... but it's a resort town, and renting spots to visitors is what they do! Matt has suggested options that would make sense for a group... so whether we get a large or small turnout for this, we should be able to accommodate everybody! I have a gig in Pennsylvania on the way there, so I'll have all my gear with me... come prepared to play music in the evenings!

Can't complain about a one year notice. I will also start working it into my schedule, 1st step is blocking out some time . . . then the faiths take over.
I will do my part my friend, this is all I can promise at this point.
Later,

Don maybe we can set up a skype session, Don... that way everybody in attendance could chat with you personally! I'll have my laptop with me... as the time gets closer, we can make sure we both have skype logins and we both know what they are

Later, I certainly understand that nobody can predict with certainty that they'll do something over a year away... but your response is a best case scenario, Danny! Blocking out the time and setting the goal is a positive first step! I know you've already met both Mario and me... and I'm sure both of us will enjoy seeing you again! It would be great if you bring your guitar and the computer with your songs so you can play for us! If everybody comes prepared to play, we may have to block out a separate time frame so we don't miss Matt's concert! ;-)
