Everyone bring an instrument to YAPC, we'll do a jam. I'm bringing my guitar; I think jjohn might bring his, and gnat might bring a stringed instrument of some kind.

I check my guitar on the plane; though, I have a nice hard case for it. Never had a problem with it.Re:damn plane

Maybe I'll look into getting a better case for mine. I don't trust the case I've got right now...Re:damn plane

That's what Martin Carthy used to say.Re:damn plane

Is it worth it to explain the reference to me?:-) Re:damn plane

Carthy is a highly respected folk musician of long standing (he came up with the chord sequence that Paul Simon used for Scarboro Fair) and was the possessor of a very lovely and much played Martin guitar that, so the story goes, got lunched by an airport baggage handling system. Yes, it was in a flight case.Re:damn plane

Mine is a Martin, but it is eminently replacable; if the airline screws up that badly, they will just buy me a new one. If mine were irreplacable, I wouldn't risk it, probably.

It's a tough call. When you're a professional musician you have to travel with your instruments. And when you're a folk musician you really can't afford to book a seat for the guitar.
