Border Gathering in January: Celebration of the Eagles and Tribute to Glenn
As most of you know, January 18, 2017 will mark the one year anniversary of Glenn's death. For some time now, I've been thinking that I'd like to organize a get-together in Los Angeles on the weekend prior as both a celebration of the Eagles and a tribute to him and the band.
I haven't really cemented any plans yet, because I don't know how much interest there will be. I was thinking I would have the get-together on Saturday evening, January 14. Maybe during the day we could see some Eagles-related sights around LA and take a day trip to Joshua Tree on Sunday.
It's not something you would pay me to do or anything. The get-together isn't something you buy a ticket for. As for the sightseeing, you could do as much or as little as you like.
Is there any interest? Reply or PM me if you want to come.

That sounds really cool and fun, Soda. I hope I can go. It would be nice to experience these places with folks who understand and have the same feelings for the band.
Have you been to Lucy's el Adobe?

I can answer that NMB - it is a yes. When Soda, Dreamer & I went in May we had lunch there. The food was not very good, but it was cool to see the many photos of the guys and other singers & actors. It was not crowded and our waitress was nice enough to allow us behind the cash register so we could see up close the Hall of Fame photo of the guys. She even took our photo with it. The back of the restaurant has an artist's entrance.

I couldn't believe the didn't have any beer on draft. I don't imagine the Artists Entrance sees much action these days.

I would love to go!!!! I don't know if I would actually be able to go to LA though.
Re: Border Gathering in January: Celebration of the Eagles and Tribute to Glenn
I seriously doubt that I could go, unless I won the lottery, lol, but I think that it's a good idea for those who can go.
Re: Border Gathering in January: Celebration of the Eagles and Tribute to Glenn
If I had the money I would go. I haven't been to California since 2000 and I need to go back out there again.
Plus I'm trying to save to see Don in Houston that same week. So that's the other reason I can't go. I'm still hoping more dates will be posted for next year before I pay for my Houston ticket.
Its probably going to be an emotional show for Don knowing Glenn's one year anniversary of his death is only 3 days before the Houston show.
For those who are going, have fun. I know its going to be fun and emotional journey. This is a great idea, ladies.
Re: Border Gathering in January: Celebration of the Eagles and Tribute to Glenn
I love this idea and so wish I could go. One day I will get out to California but got to have the money first and get over my plane phobia.
Re: Border Gathering in January: Celebration of the Eagles and Tribute to Glenn
It is a wonderful idea, Soda - LA & a tour of Eagles'- related sites is a fitting way of making the one year anniversary of Glenn's passing. I would love to go, but unfortunately I'm another one who wouldn't be able to. I hope to get to California someday though.
Re: Border Gathering in January: Celebration of the Eagles and Tribute to Glenn
This sounds like a fun idea. Put me in the 'maybe' camp, though, as I might be getting situated into a new College setting around that time. That this is prospectively on a weekend as opposed to a weekday makes it a little bit easier for me to transport in a timely way across the states.
I'll get back to you on this around November/December, when I have a clearer idea of my own personal schedule.
