It's coming up next weekend already! Time has flown since last year. Who's planning on going?
Looks like a fantastic lineup on the main stage this year.

I will be there as always! Can’t wait! Mandolin meetup?
I have never been to the event, but many years ago I was lucky enough to play his Loar!
I'll be at Joe Val Fest, of course! They haven't finalized the JV Workshop schedule for 2018 quite yet, but as far as I know I'll be teaching two fiddle workshops, the first of which would be ok for mandolin players, too:
1. "Backing Up a Singer on Fiddle" Saturday Noon
Description: The bluegrass fiddler has a vital role in supporting the singer without
getting in the way. In this hands-on session, Dave will take you through when to play,
what to play, and how to play as you back up a singer.
2. "Fiddle Bowing Patterns and Techniques"? Sunday Noon
Description: The notes you play are important, but it's your bowing that gives
voice to them and make them come alive. In this hands-on session, Dave will
take you through the bowing patterns and techniques that contribute to the
sound of bluegrass fiddling.
I'll have a mandolin along, but don't know which one yet.
Maybe I'll see you there!
Dave
P.S. I'll have flyers at Joe Val Fest for Fiddle Hell Massachusetts, Nov. 1-4, 2018, which now has a mandolin track. We're still adding instructors, but I know our mando instructors will include Skip Gorman, David Surette, Richard Brown, Tony Watt, Shana Aisenberg, Eric Kilburn, and Jason Anick.

Anybody doing the master classes or mid-level courses?
In theory I'm always interested in a meet-up. Good time?
