    Ok so who's planning on heading up, down or out to this one?

    http://www.nyukefest.com

    I may end up wandering around with my Tiki Flea slung over my shoulder, even if it's just for a day.

    Hey, D-Stone, if you're there, look up Evy Mayer and say "hi" from me. She may be doing workshops, or performing with her group Triboro.

    This gig ain't cheap:
    For 4 nights and 3 days: $200 after April 1, $225 at the door,
    or each concert $10-15,
    and if you want to buy stuff you pay $5 to look at the vendors unless you buy a uke from a vendor then they rebate the $5

    I might go for the free street show: "A Special Saturday Afternoon Performance by the George Fox Middle School Ukulele Ensemble. There will be, weather permitting, an outdoor stage in the afternoon, on East 10th Street."

    I like their 'uke' hair

    In NYC we pay lots of $ for many things but I can not imagine 'standing room only' for this.

    I was planning to go but not so sure. BTW day passes, it looks like, are $90 and I assume that includes the concert.
