It's been a long year but SPBGMA will be here in three weeks. As usual, a good time of friends and music will be had. Who's going? I will be there Fri-Sat-Sun. Hope to see many cafe'ers. As an aside, I just got a happy birthday wish from the Cafe. Nice touch, thanks.

**Big Joe** · Jan-19-2010, 7:19am

We'll be there with many good toys to show. Our table will be in the free room. Stop by and say "Hey". Look forward to seeing you Dusty, and all our other friends from the Cafe!

**Kevin K** · Jan-19-2010, 7:44am

I plan on being there.
Big Joe, I'll stop by and we'll talk mandolin for a little bit.

**NickAlberty** · Jan-19-2010, 7:58am

I'll be there. The guys in our band have never been (I've been before in 2000) and they wanted to enter the band contest. So we'll be playing sometime on Saturday for that. I'm looking forward to going again (I guess). Too bad it's so darn expensive though, or is it just me.

Nick,
Yeah it's expensive but is a lot of fun, just look at it as a much needed vacation.

I'll be there along with 3 silverangels and my brother and his violins. Come by and try them, I believe I have some good ones. We will be in the pay room.

I will be there Thursday-Sunday. It is always a great time.

The battle of the bands is my favorite. What is the name of your group?

**Dusty** · Jan-22-2010, 8:53pm

Big Joe and Ken.....see you there. How about a Cafers breakfast meet and greet?

**D C Blood** · Jan-23-2010, 5:37am

Somebody chime in on the "meet and greet"...maybe all Cafe'ers wear their Cafe hats...Any Silverangel owners be sure to bring your SAs by Ken's booth ..he always likes to see how his babies are doing...See y'all there.

**Big Joe** · Jan-24-2010, 4:17pm

If somebody sets up a meet and greet let me know and I'll be there... might even wear my cafe hat!!!

**NickAlberty** · Jan-26-2010, 12:34pm

My band's name is SpringStreet.

We have a website at www.myspace.com/springstreetbluegrass

Looking forward to being at SPBGMA again!

**Gathright Customs** · Jan-26-2010, 9:34pm

me and my son jake will be there taking in the fun hope to see some of you guys there

**Steevarino** · Jan-26-2010, 11:14pm

I'll be at SPBGMA this year. We have a booth in the same room that Ken will be in, right about where we have been for the past few years. If you have a ticket to the event, you have full access to this room full of exhibitors. Also, there are some free times for this room, but I'm not sure of the exact times.

We will have a lot of new builds at this show, something for nearly every picker. Our entire RedLine Acoustics line will be on display, including our complete line-up of resophonic guitars, acoustic guitars, and, of course, several RedLine Traveler mandolins. If you are a guitar player, be sure to check out our all new RL-45 Acoustic Guitar (our version of a slope-shouldered jumbo guitar) and our smaller, but full-toned Parlor Guitar.

See you there!

**Big Joe** · Jan-27-2010, 6:50am

I love Steve's new Redline RL-45. Great looking, playing, and sounding guitar. Makes me drool... but then I have a tendency to do that anyway according to my guys

Big Joe, How about breakfast Saturday morning at the hotel buffet for the meet and eat? It is right there off the lobby so it is easy to find. What do you think? Time? BTW it's Dutch.

**Big Joe** · Jan-28-2010, 9:47pm

I'm game. I am an early riser so it matters not to me what time. Does 9 sound good or what does everyone think? I am pretty open. I will have help with the booth so I can do most anytime.

**scottie b** · Jan-29-2010, 12:41pm

ma and matthew were planning on being there but my nephew is leaving for iraq and we're going to mississippi to see him havent missed in years. hope yall all have fun. be there if we can.

**Bluegrassstan** · Jan-30-2010, 1:31pm

Thanks Dusty for directing me to this thread. I plan to be there most of the time. Won't be able to make the meet and greet but I'll look for the hats and booths.

The Alabama Bluegrass Music Association has a suite rented there. They'll have bands playing all weekend from Alabama. Ya'll ought to stop by. Valley Road will be playing around 10 on Friday night.
