I will be in New York this July (2009) for 3 or 4 weeks, basically accompanying my girlfriend who wants to see the tap dance festival and take some classes. I would love to meet people from this group during that time, talk a bit, play a little, exchange infos and ideas, or just hang out somewhere. It will be the first time for me to visit the city. Whoever wants to see me there, please PM me his/her telephone number.

See you (hopefully),

Thomas

You should make it a point to go to JCR and visit the shop maybe pick up a bell or 2.

Great idea, Vinnie. Thanks. I'd probably rather check out those mule skins. I just have to make sure I can import them to Germany (regulations for protection against animal deseases). Maybe Isaac has experience with this?

P.S. - Vinnie: Have you ever met my old buddy Goetz Kujack from Bremen, Germany? He is a drummer and percussionist who had studied at the North Texas State University in Denton and is living in Ft. Lauderdale for several years now. -TA

Thomas, I have got few mule skins from Isaac some time ago and there were no problems with customs. I just told it's drum parts and they didn't ask me if it's factory produced, or is it raw material, etc, but I payed some custom fees.

Thanks, Roka! It might be best for me to go to the customs office and simply ask ...
