I'm glad you are coming Hans. Dale Ludewig has told me he is not able to make it this year. Too bad. I will miss him.

Hold down the fort gentlemen, I will miss seeing you. This will be the first time I have missed IBMA since I started going. But I will be going to the Loar Fest and Super Grass in Bakersfield early next year.

Fletcher Brock isn't coming either. I hadn't heard about Neil.
Darn.

Will Kimble won't have a table (I don't think at any rate), but he will be around, as well as sponsoring his "duos" showcase (with MandolinCafe and Cotten Music). Will, I'm sure, will have some wonderful mando creation with him.

Hi Joe...will be good to see you again! Sad to not have Michael, Dale and Fletcher coming, but I have to say that IBMA is getting to be too expensive for us small builders. On the plus side Victor Smith will be coming over the big pond with his Flatbush instruments. We missed him last year when he was stopped from boarding the plane with passport problems. So, everyone be sure to check out Victor's beautiful mandolins!

Yup, I will be there from Wednesday through Sunday. #My main event will be the concert on Wednesday night, no booth again this year. #Just doesn't make sense for me since I am not taking new orders at the moment. #I will have a few mandolins in my room and am planning to hang out there for a couple hours each day with the door open, please look me up and stop by if you are interested.
See you guys next week!

I forgot to mention, Paul Duff doesn't have a booth but will be there. I'm going to try to get some Duff owners together in my room at some point.
I saw a new f5 he had with him the other night, it's great. Mine's still the best, though.

Hans, I didn't know that's why Victor wasn't there last year. I missed him and I guess I'll miss him this year also. I'll miss all of you, even Big Joe <g>. Seriously, Joe. But then you know that. But I'll be thinking of you and if I can manage to get a couple mandos up to Martin Brunkalla's, a couple of my instruments will be there. Plus I just got an email from Emory Lester, and he will be there. Y'all have a great time.

I'll be there Tuesday through Thursday sharing a booth with Steve Smith. Can't wait to meet some of you and put faces with the names. Then I can look forward to next year and meeting the ones who don't make it this year!
See ya there!

Hey Hans, it will be good to see you next week. I'll be back to spread the word on SuperGrass and LoarFest West.
There's also a chance I might have access while I'm there to uncle Hal's 23 Loar that is still on the market. I'll probably see you all on Monday.
I'll be around but not in a booth. I only have a couple mandos to show, so a booth doesn't benefit me much. Look forward to seeing all of you.

WHEW! Done, I leave in 6 hours
Hey folks,
I'll be back this year, but no tiny table in the back of the giant hall by the open mic stage for me... #
You can find me and my mando's by finding "la Campanella", the little bell (my symbol). #
I've created a special edition block print card for this year's show. #
Find the cards, and you'll find me.

P.S. The web site finally has some sound samples.
I'm off to IBMA in the morning and should be there on wednesday. I will be by the Cumberland acoustic table with Steve Smith and Bill James. Stop on by and play one of my mandos and say hello. #Hope to see you there!!Stanley mandolins (http://www.stanleymandolin.com/)

Wow! Sounds like our booth is going to get crowded! Actually, Bill will be there Tues. thru Thurs., and Chris will show up around the time that Bill leaves.
Today was the first day of IBMA. We set-up and did the show from 3 to 6. We are WAY in the back of the vendor area, so be sure to wear your hiking boots and go all-the-way to the far left corner of the room. There will be some cool stuff there, so it should be worth the hike! I'll have my usual items there (mandolin bridges, mandolin and guitar armrests, pickguards, truss rods, fretboards, etc. all at Show Special prices, so be sure to stop by!
