    Default SummerGrass XI August 16-18 2013 in Sunny San Diego, CA

    SummerGrass, one of the premier west coast bluegrass festivals is in 2 weeks. NewFound Road & Sierra Hull are among the highlighted artists.

    Great jamming (the last 2 years I probably made it out of the RV camp/jam ground for a total of 3 hrs), great spirit, overall great festival experience.

    Started this thread for us to communicate, plan, heck maybe we'll do an impromptu mando taste test...feel free to chime-in re: experiences, plans, etc. Any cafe members travelling a long distance and needing accomodations, check with me, I should be able to help you out.

    Well be there with our camper from Fri thru Sunday. We're in the cg with an electric spot - sorta toward the middle of the cg. Look for a Lance camper with a slide out on an older blue and white Ford Dually.

    Also I think I'm going to sell the Flatiron, so it will probably be on an instrument stand on the road by the camper.

    The drive will be a shorter one than say between OC and Huck Finn or Topanga, but if you're planning on being there all 3 days then it's a different story.

    I'll be there Sat to make sure i make it to Sierra Hull's workshop at 2. And I know shiloh (Jill) will be there Sat and Sun. Should be a good fun, hot weekend.
