This is mandoPete's question, posted on another thread...so, Who is gonna go?Originally Posted by
I'll be there...I'm vetting the stable for the next month, trying to decide which 2 mandos to bring. At first, it was the Hughes and the Coleson, but now it might be the Ward and the Gatt...hmmm...so little time...
Possibly
I'll be there with mandolins and tonewood...
I'll be vending, so stop by the Orcas Island Tonewoods booth and show me a mandolin....
Looking forward to it...

I'll be there. I have it easy, I only have to choose between two mandolins, and seeing as one is electric... I'll bring my F style. I havn't figured out what days I'll be going, or where I'll be staying, but those are just minor details, right?
I'm going to try and make it, but I'll have to see what the work load looks like and if I can come up Thurs/Fri.

More than likely I'll be there on Saturday...not that the world of Mando Cafe is shaking with excitement on this news though
I'll be running the Rigel booth again. Should be interesting. Jimmy Gaudreau will be performing at the festival, so I'm hoping he stops by the booth.

I will be there. The last "Tasting" was Great!

Build your own!
Me too!
Look up (to see whats comin down)
I'll be there Thurs aft - Sun pm. Went for 1st time last year - loved it!! Trying to get more sleep saved up beforehand - last year I slept only 4 or 5 hours per night. Mando tasting will be great - also hoping to bend Greg Boyd's ear a bit.
I'm sure this has already been posted but when is the event?
I guess it's getting toward that time where all good li'l west coast pickers migrate to Tacoma for the winter festival fix. I'm in.

I'll try again...WHEN is the mandotasting? I can only go for a day so I would like to try to do it on the mandotasting day.

I think it's Thursday. How does the tasting work? Is it just a bunch of people in a room swapping mandos? Also, is there some sort of set time for it? I won't be able to leave Seattle until Thursday at about 5:30 (if I'm lucky) but would like to see, hear, and play other instruments.
The Mandolin Tasting is tentativly scheduled for Thursday night. Problem is scheduling. There is a new bluegrass documentary showing that night and Third Tyme Out is also performing that night. That's a lot of competition. Do you think we can get an audience with those odds? Ken Cartwright

Thanks for the post Mark!
I will be there, but may not be able to make it Thursday night as work gets really busy in February with my semi-annual business review at the software factory.
I am hoping to sit down for some mando-swapping (it's like wife-swapping without the guilt!) I hope to have use of the radio room, which makes a nice venue for this sort of thing.
Mr Tichenor - please let us know if you are comming, I would be really great to meet you after all of these years!

We have a green light for a mandolin tasting and recording at Wintergrass for Thursday evening. I would like to know how many folks on this list are, A. Going, and B. Would be able to loan us their mandolin for the tasting?

Hit the darned send key before I was finished! Haven't really settled on a them yet, but do want to consider mandolins under $1500 and instruments that have not been tasted yet. Might have time for two tastings. Please contact me at kenc@wvi.com.

Tips for playing Jazz on the mandolin
Everyone, please bring your high end mandolins for me to try. I'm looking eagerly to upgrade my 2000 Lebeda F5 and desperately need to try mandos I can't find in my area. I may have to make it Ken's shop. I will be there from Friday noon to Sunday!
Look for the bewildered bearded guy with stickers on his mandolin case!
I am going and will be staying at the Venue. Will be there thursday afternoon till sunday evening.

Got the green light to leave wife and kids to fend for themselves for 2 days, will drive up from Portland Fri am. #and return Sun. noonish. #Sorry to miss the tasting. #Locals wanting to carpool, drop a line.
Will get a room somewhere else in town and will be roaming with ears open, esp for swing tunes. #Anyone up for a swing jam, let me know! #Will be carrying cell ph: 503-708-1286 #[w/ buzzer on and ringer turned off! #cell phones ringing during jams, there's another 'new millenium' phenomenon for you...]
