So... I've been enjoying all the MET's... based on what I've seen and heard... it's friggin awesome. I've ran this idea across a couple of folks I decided to put the wheels in motion. My good Viking friend in Minnesota has a resort on Lake Superior just outside of Duluth. It's 3rd or 4th generation family owned and is very tough to get a booking. 2 year waiting list. Anyhow he said he would open it up early to host an MET provided I can get enough folks to make it worthwhile. I was thinking we could even do some sort of concert for the community... he also has a BBQ vender to cater for the concert... what do y'all think? If you r interested please use this post. He said as of now he can house 21 people in cabins along the lakeside.
These pics are from the resort calendar... I just took pics with my phone. I'll get better ones down the road. I will PM anyone interested with all the pricing and info.
BTW after I told him about this MET idea... he told me that his cousin had a dream that Jimmy Hendrix would play a concert at his resort. THIS MUST HAPPEN!!!!

I think this posting may just inspire a Gordon Lightfoot parody out of me!!!!
I'm interested ;D trying to work out if I can afford it
Of course I'm interested...but I gotta get back from Norway & Finland 1st. Then I have to work alot and fugure out how to make the wife happy.
Rock on!
Cool... yes reg's I believe the cabins are under $100.00 US. I should be getting an email soon from him. Hooker... have fun buddy. When you figure out how to make the wife happy, please post for all the married folks... Bruno told me one of his secrets... always buy the same color of guitar. It's kinda hard to disguise a trip to Finn & Nor. Make sure my Viking buddies see this post.
I'm sure there will be a lot of perks.... lake tours that type of thing. We may have to help empty some fish out of nets... but it's a small price to pay.
Looks like this could be a lot of fun!

Whenever I'm in rough seas or hear Lake Superior I always think of that song
That would be awesome. You know me and Jarle lived in Superior for a year.

Wow this looks bloody fantastic - even I'm tempted and I'm a bit of a recluse . . .

Looks like he already has. ;) ;D
i would love to come, but next year in april, is my guid lady's 50th birthday and itinerary for that is gonna be a small fortune, may be able to meet up with some canadian songcrafters if she allows, but even that will be difficult, finland met took a lot of convincing. so my chances of pulling this met off are extremely slim.
i will say this tho, if any of my fellow songcrafters get the chance in 2018, take it. met's are very very special occassions, meeting up with like minds et al is just awesome. this site and the folk involved are all good people.
i have had a few mets now, and they where all very memorable, i have made some great, nae fantastic, lifelong friends and have memories that are burned so hard into my brain cells, that i will never forget them.
this is a very very special place, i love you all.
hic burp fart! i hab bin drinkum.
Here here, and soon to make a few more!
Rock on!

Mazz and Ash are getting married next year in Florida Aug 2018, so will be both skint and also have to consider the timing. But it is an awesome idea.

I really would love this, but at least for now it looks like 2019 would be better for me.
I still would try in 2018, but I think it might be a long shot
