    I'll be there, staying at the Hyatt for the first time. Bought my tix on the way out last year; reserved my room the next day.

    I'm already booked in as well. Watch for a white haired (what's left) old fart being guided by his wife (vision failing ).

    Does your bourbon need a guest?

    In a month's time we'll be in the thick of it

    We'll be leaving after work on Wed. evening (Feb 24)and should be getting there early Thursday morning. The kids are registered in the Youth Academy again this year and that starts at 9am. There's a mandolin workshop that starts then as well, so it will be busy from the get go! This will be the first time we've stayed at the Hyatt, so I imagine that will throw a different spin on it.

    Eddie ~ what mando goodness will you be bringing this year?

    Sooooooo looking forward to this

    It's going to be a Hyatt week for me. Friday through Tuesday in Florida, followed by Thursday through Sunday in Bellevue.

    Bellevue will be much more fun.

    We printed off our tickets a couple of nights ago and wrote the kids' profiles for the Youth Academy. My wife caught the kids jamming in the workshop and shot a short video that we sent along with their profiles.

    A week tonight and we'll be on our way. We're all looking sooooo forward to it!

    I heard a rumour that Mike Compton is doing a mando tasting at Wintergrass but haven't seen anything on the website. Can anyone confirm?
