Teleguit, is there a different price for someone going just on Saturday (just one day)? I would consider going if so. I wish they did Fri - Sun instead of thurs-sat.

As always, I will be there with the Suzuki booth for the entire show.
Yes, I have the new Olive harmonicas, and YES, you can try them out!
I'm looking forward to seeing all of you at the show!

I was asked to donate to the event and agreed to including donating my time at the event for customization seminars, but I guess it didn't work out, lol.
I wasn't going to hound them about not getting back to me about my willingness to give them free merch and resources for the event (after originally cold calling me).
I will be at HCH, though...Sunday for sure, probably Saturday too (but my sister-in-law is getting married and I should attend at least some of that). I am planning tentatively on SPAH too, and have the opportunity to do a seminar or two there, but my work schedule is up in the air until June.

@SuzukiDaron - Will be cool to see you as always man!
@RyanMortos - It actually IS Friday and Saturday. The only thing happening Thursday night is the kick off jam, held this year inside the restaurant at the hotel. To be a 2-day event, it's actually pretty cool. I also look forward to eating at the local Golden Corral buffet almost as much as I do the festival. LOL.

I'll be with Adam on Saturday. I don't know if there's a one day rate. I'd love to go both day's but it isn't in the cards.

50/50 chance I'll be there for my 2nd time. If so, It will probably be late Friday night, just in time for the jam. It's just a 7 hour drive from work.... hmmmmm, maybe I wont make it after all. :(
Last year was fine. The highlight was ........meeting Todd Parrott, and playing bass at the jam.
I finally learned that lick Todd taught me last year, but so far, I haven't found a place the use it. :)
If I get to come, I'll be packing my bass again, and a few other toys for some fun.

Thanks Jim! Yes, come and bring your bass! We'll be doing the late night jams again, but I'll have to cut out on Saturday night, so I may need your assistance. Your bass added SO much last year in our jams. Was very nice meeting you as well.
If you can't make it, I understand, but I do hope you can!

Just got the word that I will be leading a seminar about the new HOHNER INSTANT WORKSHOP on Friday at 2:00pm. I'll be going over how the kit allows changing out reed rivets with screws and how accesible alt tunings and broken reed replacement can be. If anyone has any questions or topics they would like discussed, let me know and I'll do my best to include them.
I'm looking forward this festival. Sould be a fun weekend.
