I'm heading down to the Netherlands and will be arriving Thursday afternoon. Have to leave early Saturday morning, but it would be fun to meet up with any of you who are there. I wander around a lot with a gray Pegasus case over my shoulder. Kevin, I suppose you'll be busy as usual. Spencer
I will unfortunately be arriving on fridaymorning, I'm gonna miss one day. I'm gonna keep an eye on a Peagasus case.......
Hi Hans_k: Missed seeing you, but I had fun anyhow. Did manage to say hi to Kevin. Spencer
hello, I was at ewob,just now joined this group. fell in love with the mandolin last week at ewob, and bought one for myself, so you could say I am a total newbie. I do play the guitar, I sing, and have started on the banjo recently. mandolin is completely new to me ewob was an awesome weekend, we were there all three days camping on the field I m from the netherlands by the way kind regards kris
Hi Spencer, I had fun as well! The Ewob was great. I promised Tom Rozum (Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands) I would say hi to Kevin for him, so I did. And Kris, we didn't see each other, but at least I made a picture of your husband sitting in front of your tent :-). See you soon! Hans
yep you did hans haha, that was a funny coincedence I went to grevengrass in germany last weekend, you guys really should try to go there next year it was absolutely fabulous, the atmosphere in the camp, and the premises ..just wonderfull, with a large field along the river, a real beachbar, beachvolleyball field, and a stage for performing bands, sunday night was a concert at the aula of the local gymnasium which was wonderfull a lot of great jamming going on at the camp, and fress bread and rolls every morning because a backery would come to the camp there used to be a festival in neusüdende ( near oldenburg) that ended some time ago, and now this grevengrass will be the follow up on that old festival we had a wonderfull time and hope many more europeans will find there way there like we did, so they can afford to keep this festival going for many many years to come
No sense starting a new thread, but EWOB 2010 is coming up soon. Be fun to meet some of you if you attend. Spencer
I will be there most of the time. Look for the Prucha F5T. It looks like an interesting lineup. I wonder how "Viagrass" sounds? From CZ so you know they can pick. Although they play the same songs every year, I still look forward to Sunnyside and Blackjack (also CZ). I hope last year's #1 band (Downtown Ramblers, SE) have learned that sometimes less is more... There will be a Krishot band, not sure if it's the mando maker or not. The fabulous Bluegrass Stuff (Italy) with the irrepressible Leo di Giaccamo m'cing and Massimo Gatti just ripping down the mandolin from the Old Country... this time they have a female singer from Switzerland. And there will be good mando-shopping with Prucha, Capek, Boetzkes, Waitze.
Hey Spencer I was really hoping to make it there this year but it didnt work out for the whole band ot get there. However we are going to be in France at the Laroche Bluegrass Fest. We will be teaching workshops there as well from Tuesday through that Friday. How have you been? Would love to catch up with you sometime.. my email is anthony@hickoryproject.com talk soon Anthony www.hickoryproject.com
I'll be there all three days and I am really looking forward to it. Since there won't be any camping on the soccerfield this year I just reserved a campground nearby.
Hans_k: I haven't heard about camping on the sports field, there is nothing on the website about it, they talk about camping there. Are there other arrangements being made or what? Spencer
Hello, Spencer, This year, there will only be camping on the parking lot. You can find the tekst below on the homepage of the EWOB (http://www.ewob.eu) CAMPERS PLEASE NOTE: Some set-up time limitations for the campground this year. Also, tents will only be allowed in the parking lot this year, so be prepared for camping on hard pavement. There is plenty of camping space, and a tool will be available to make it possible to drive tent pegs into the ground - so, free camping and lots of outdoor picking as usual.
