I'll be there as well, bringing soda. As for gear, I'm torn between bringing my Lakland Duck Dunn in shoreline gold with Dark Star, and my Lakland Decade with Chi-sonics in root beer sparkle. If anyone has a preference, let me know.
Dang, that's tough!
I like both, but maybe leaning towards the Dunn?
I'll Bring my Brown Bomber dual-darkstar franken-bass and my 4 string Carlo. If it gets here in time I'll also bring my new Wendler fretless.

Sorry to say I won't be able to make it- (me haz the bass sads)I was looking forward to meeting some of you IRL but I got called in to work.
Have fun and keep it thumpin', ya'll.
Sorry to hear that folks.
However, if this goes well I hope to host another next year.
Be well!
Hello new to this I am in Mchenry Il. and I am going to try to make it. I do not play bass but enjoy collecting and restoring them I am up to 40 basses now just acquired a 82 Ibanez m-924 with wiring problems. Looking forward to meeting everyone.If not to late I will take the dinner deal $10. See you tomorrow
Sounds good. Hope you can make it. Feel free to bring along any instruments you have questions about.
To anyone else who see's this thread last minute, don't worry about RSVP'ing at this point, just come on over. The more the merrier!
Definitely not too late, Hope you can make it!
Had a great time. I met some great people and saw some awesome basses but that 4 string white Fender J with matching head stock. I am in love. I hope someone posts some pictures.
Thanks so much to all who came. It was great to be surrounded by such a truely good group of people. Really overwhelming and I still haven't got everyone's names and TB handles figured out!
Great selection of basses also. Handmade boutique customs, production goodies, American standards, homebuilts and even a cool selection of pawn-shop oddities and treasures.
I'll check back in tomorrow with pictures. In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions for ANYTHING that could make next year's GTG (oh yeah, there will be another...) better, please comment now while it's fresh in your mind.

Looking forward to continuing conversations and such started today, and getting to know you all more moving forward.

Thanks @Eilif for hosting this boss event! Had a BLAST. So many amazing basses AND players in that room. Can't think of any improvements to suggest at the moment. Looking forward to continuing conversations also. And relieving some of the GAS y'all gave me. 
Let's see how many pics I can upload before the forum software gets grumpy...OK, 20's the limit. Continued in next post. If anyone objects to anything I've uploaded, let me know and I'll delete it out.
