I'm going, but I'm not telling anyone about it.

88 degrees down here in Mexico with a ten-foot swell...
ΏWhat is this thing called "Wintergrass"Ώ
My lips are sealed as well, and there won't be any jams in my room on the fifth floor of the Marano, and Bruce won't be there to crack open the single malt. Or will he.....?

I won't bring my A2Z because I don't want Geoff Clarkson to look at it.

Is Wakefield on the bill?
I'm "really" not going.......first miss for me, in like 7 years.......I'm saving up for the Mandolin Symposium......
Cats outta the bag.
I'm there morning, noon, night, late night, late late night, vegetable state....
Actually, I'll be working some Usher stuff for a few hours. So watch out! I rule with an Iron fist!....kinda.
I'm unable to go, but I am sending my own personal Clark JM there for all to covet and adore. Check it out among the other many great new instruments Austin will have on display at his booth. (New OM, too!)
Ted - waaaay cool!
I assume that don't want us to give it the "Bill Monroe" treatment, eh?
2015 Chevy Silverado
2 bottles of Knob Creek bourbon
1953 modified Kay string bass named "Bambi"
I wont be going because I'm fearful that Martin might show me his A2Z.... actually I'm really not going... I've heard that the Moron-oh hotel has really cracked down on/revamped the jamming and hanging out policies such that it just might be about as fun as an insurance convention.....can anyone confirm these rumors? No jamming in the lobby or halls? no one allowed on any floors without a room key? That's just the beginning of the list..
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
I'll be there all 4 days. So will that Bertoncini F5 that I have for sale.
Re jamming: following lifted from Acoustic Sound's January newsletter:
CZJust in case you've heard otherwise, let's set the record straight. Jamming is happening everywhere at Wintergrass. Bring your instrument. Hook up with old friends. Meet new ones. Play tunes! Learn tunes.
The first thing you'll notice this year is a big tent in the courtyard. Our friends at the California Bluegrass Association will be hosting late night jams and shows in the tent. Otherwise, the heated tent is yours for jamming and hanging out with friends. Umm, just in case you wondered, no sleeping in the tent.
Jamming in the lobby. Yes. Remember the last time you went on a hike? Did you see the signs that asked you to stay on the trail and not trample the delicate wildflowers and tundra? The lobby is magnificent and filled with truly beautiful and delicate things. Treat it like you'd treat your favorite trail - with respect and care. Our pals at the Murano are moving out some of the most delicate things to make room for guitars, banjos and you! There will be a few lobby places where jamming will be restricted and we ask that you respectfully comply. For the most part though, you can do what you've always done.
I'm in. See you guys all there!
Thanks Cara for the clarification on that. CBA tent sounds like a great idea.They should have started that years ago!

Ted, will your mandolin wander around and take pictures of all the people at the festival?

As a native Californian I'm proud to say we're definately well known for our fruits and nuts but vegetables...not so much...Hahaha But really, I wish I could go but alas it's not meant to be cherrie...
Well, for someone stuck in the UK, this all sounds absolutely wonderful! Sounds like the best place on earth to be at the end of this month! Enjoy!
