Unless you want lunch - lunch and coffee cost about the same as the average monthly wage..

[pougema]

I will try to find you. I'm there on Saturday as well, probably hanging out at the Eich stand a lot. I love talking to Scots. I love the accent. Hope you're a nice guy

I just saw the list of exhibitors. Found out Roger Sadowsky isn't coming (too bad, he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met), but LeFay will be there! Cool, last time I played a Remington Steele was quite a while ago and I remember them being absolutely amazing instruments. I'm gonna miss Mike Pedulla though, he brought a Pentabuzz last year that was stunning.

Gonna be an interesting show anyways, some great exhibitors: Eich, LeFay, Ellio Martina, De Gier, Vanderkley, Rikkers (Dutchies yay!). AC... And quite some luthiers I've never heard of so that's gonna be interesting.

[4StringPete]

Nice one BassAgent, ill be stopping at Ashdown first to say hello, then just wandering! Be good to put faces to names.

[Dood]

I'm embarrassingly rubbish with names at the worst of times and only slightly better when Ive had a good night sleep. I'd just like to take the time to say sorry if I can't remember your names when I say hullo. I'll have the trusty BC lanyard on; it'll be cool to meet some BCers!

[Merton]

I'll try to dig out my BC lanyard, it got lost moving house last year I think

[Sibob]

I've got 3 pieces of advise:

1) Take some ear plugs
2) Ear plugs, definitely take some
3) Don't forget your ear plugs

Si

[NickD]

They were giving them out at the front desk last year iirc.

[pougema]

Ear plugs, cool, ill take a pair just in case, so if you see some one that looks like Johnny Vegas older brother wearing a hat and ear plugs, thats me, Dave or FIB to close friends

Not sure if Si mentioned this, but definitely don't forget your earplugs.

I tried to avoid slapping last year. I think I succeeded.

[BassBod]

Last minute decision making - anyone driving in from the Bristol/Bath area with a spare seat?

(on Saturday?)
