    I'll be there should get in in Thurs afternoon. I believe I saw Tabscott at the last one (or the 2012) but think it was the last one. Doc is Michael Heiden going to be there? I hadn't talked to him recently. See you all there.

    Tab was there last year, don't know about this year. I see him every few weeks as we both play in High and Lonesome.

    Wouldn't miss it! I'll have a pile of instruments, too. This is going to be the year of the mandolin in the builders room. I think we'll have at least 5 or six mandolin makers there (not counting Asian importers). This is a great year to be out sampling mandolins!

    I'll be around on Friday and Saturday for sure, helping violinmaker Jonathan Franke in his sales booth. Will have my new (to me, anyway) Randy Wood F5 along. I've never had a mandolin with a full-on, unapologetic bluegrass tone like this one. Whether I can make it on Thursday and Sunday remains to be seen, but I'll try.

    Hey there Austin - I always look forward to stopping by your booth. Hope you will have one of your OM's, they are always a blast to pick on!

    I'll be there for the whole shebang, with a '57 Telecaster copy along for the ride...
    Also bringing a load of wood, so you builders might want to let me know what you want to see onboard...?

    And man, the stage music looks to be awesome this year, no?
    Wow...

    Oh, and a single malt mando get-together might be in order?
    See ya'll on campus...
