Yew bayit! My lady is in the intermediate bluegrass banjo category (yeah . . . I know . . . but last year she took 2nd in the same category), so I gotta be there.

Randy, you gonna be at the main stage?

Hope to see you there Eddie. I know that I haven't made it to Living Traditions for a while.

**randolin** · May-08-2012, 10:02am

Yes I will be judging the mandolin and traditional banjo competition at the main stage all day (no jamming for me!)

Nice!
I'll be lugging this puppy around, so will be easy to ID...

We should try and have a quick Cafe meet up. I'll be wearing my Mandolin Cafe hat and toting an A5 of some variety.

**Eddie Sheehy** · May-12-2012, 7:32pm

The La Mandolin Orchestra had a meet today and we played a bunch of Old Time/Bluegrass/Celtic tunes in preparation for jamming on the 20th...

That's pretty funny...

I'm heading out for business this week from VA and will be there to check out how mandolin players do it on the left coast. I'm sure I'll make you all look good...

**randolin** · May-14-2012, 11:42am

I will be there with this Sorensen, currently for sale in the classifieds. If anyone would like to check it out please come by the judges area at the main stage.

It was a mighty fine time!! Great seeing everybody again.

**barrangatan** · May-22-2012, 11:31pm

I had a great time, and enjoyed the company tremendously. Always good seeing all of you. Wish there are more big festivals like Topanga in Southern California so we can do this this morning often.
