Covid put a damper on me trying to gather FAWMers for a mini-FAWMstock since I bought my hangar home in Southwest Florida a few years ago. But if the pandemic subsides by this summer, I'd LOVE to host my favorite past and present collaborators for a long weekend of music, socializing, and feasting. My house has 4 guest bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, but the best part is the 5000 square feet of hangar, loft, and garage that's attached to it. I hosted a one-night party for 175 guests last November, so there's plenty of room. We can set a more reasonable cap for this event of maybe 25 or 30 FAWMers? I have guitars, amps, microphones, drum kit, etc... already here. I know many musicians are broke, so I can stock us with food and booze, and lodging here is free, so all you have to do is get down here on your own and back home :-)
What say we do this?
FAWMers have been my friends for tenish years
To the FAWMers I call my friends I shout out cheers
We play the month away
All 28 days of Feb-u-ary
Are we resigned to meeting online?
Wouldn't it be fine to wine and dine (...together...)?

Wouldn't it be great to all meet up here I R L
In my state of Florida you won't need a hotel
4 guest rooms for V I Ps
And my hanger guarantees
Lots of space to play
and finally sleep the night away (...together...)

It's cute, and tongue in cheek, and an invitation, and I'm on the other side of the world and not even USPS will cross that sea any more...
Mark, you're wholly capable of putting this to music yourself! And you should while FAWM is running so that folks hear and SEE it. And put it up as a new song so that it doesn't languish 13,000 deep when you do.
