[Michael Bridges]

Alright! My VIP ticket is purchased. This is gonna be a great weekend, anytime the words "Beer" and "Fest" get combined, what could go wrong? Should be a great 2 days of good music and good folks! Look forward to seeing as many of you as can make it.David, really excited about seeing SWC live.

I'll be there ! Not so much as a picker but a big grinner : )

That's great, Mike, I'm really honored that you'll be there - we'll do our best for you, and it will be a lot of fun to see you there!

[Astro]

OK, I gotta go now and make a weekend of it. Too much mando-music goodness going on to pass up. And thanks for the scoop on Saturday. All sounds great.
Looking forward to meeting everyone.

[Pete Jenner]

On Saturday we're going to be playing at the Ponce De Leon Beer Festival - here's the web site

http://theponcedeleonbeerfestival.com/?page_id=56

It runs from 12 noon until 5. My band Sweetwater Creek is on from 2 - 2:45 on the outside courtyard, and Jake Cohan's band (see post #26 at the top of this page), Sailing to Denver, is in the main hall from 3 - 3:45. Pete will be there too, but not necessarily playing (unless he makes it onstage somehow).

The only bad news is that it costs $35 to get tickets online now, or $45 on the gate, but that does include a certain amount of free food and beer.

On a Saturday night you can go up to Everett's picking barn in Suwanee, or in town you could catch The Littlest Birds and Julie Gribble at the Red Light.

There's a red light district? Must be the only one in the US. ...not that I've been looking of course ...

[John MacPhee]

Pete Mike said he was gonna shout and red light as well, yehah.
Keep those photos comin, lovin every minute of your trip.
Thanks
John

[Michael Bridges]

Hey guys, check out Sailing to Denver's website. Some good ear candy! Jake, looking forward to hearing you guys Saturday.This is gonna be a fun weekend.

[Tom Haywood]

Wish I could make it Saturday. Playing a dance in Roswell that evening. Practicing in the afternoon. Y'all have fun.

[Michael Bridges]

You'll be missed Tom! Looks like we may have a good group over there to heckle David. (JK!) You're going to be at Marty's shop Friday night, right?

[Steve Sorensen]

"Beer Festival" ? ? ? ? I hazard to guess Pete will be there!

From what I can gather, Australian + Blackheath + leave before the beer festival. . . cannot be combined into one sentence!

Steve

[Marty Jacobson]

Well, you know what they call a beer festival in Blackheath --- practicing!

[Michael Bridges]

Yeah, I hope our idea of a "Beer Festival" isn't too much of a let down for Pete. I promise to put forth my best effort to represent the U.S. contingent!

[Tom Haywood]

Mike. I'll be there Friday night. If you like good old bluegrass, fiddle tunes and some newgrass, you'll really like David's band.

7 O'clock works for me. Looks like a weekend full of good music! I am planning on bringing a few instruments. Sharing toys is as fun now is it was in grade school. Also, I figure I can play some guitar, and someone can play my fiddle, you guys don't wanna hear me play it.

[Michael Bridges]

I'm just waiting to hear Marty's bluegrass cello.

[Pete Jenner]

I arrive in Atlanta at 4:45 tomorrow as long as I don't miss the plane.

[Michael Bridges]

Hide the women and children!

[Pete Jenner]

Who's up for a beer tomorrow night?

[OldSausage]

Sent you a PM

[Michael Bridges]

It'd be fun, but I've got householdy obligations to get out of the way, so I can enjoy being TOTALLY useless for the weekend. Hoist one for me, and Welcome to the Dirty South,Pete.

[Chuck D]

Sure wish I could join you guys on Friday. I work in a hospital which is open 24/7 and I cant get off. Extra bummer because my first mandolin will be finished tomorrow and I'd love for you to see it.

Have fun!

Chuck.

[dusty miller]

I was extremely tempted to ride down. A short 14 hr motorcycle ride. If days were longer I'd be there.

That's too bad, it would be great to see it. If you PM me and let me know where you are, it might be possible to figure something out.

[MSalisbury]

I'd love to join you all if you have room for one more. Marty, sent a PM asking for directions.

Friday at 7 pm works well for me. Coming from the Perimeter Mall area after 5:30p, so shold be able to crawl my way through rush-hour traffic to Smyrna by then

[Marty Jacobson]

OK great! Looks like we'll have a good showing.
Please PM me if you need the address.

We'll have snacks set up in our house next door to the shop. It got a little noisy last time, so hopefully having the house and the shop open will allow enough space to put some of these instruments to work.
