Even though the online poll showed anemic interest, we're going to take the plunge and piggy-back with the Vintage Kramer guys for their event on Saturday evening. It's likely MusicYo will be doing some kind of sponsorship, and sharing this event has far more updsides than downsides. Not the least of which is that they're doing all the planning ;-)

I will be bringing many instruments from my collection to exhibit as well as memorablilia, catalogs, etc. I'm also planning to bring my laptop w/ DVD player so guys can watch the videos we've collected. I'll also have the entire formal web site on it for viewing. If anyone else is coming to the show, please let me know. It'd be nice if some others could bring some of their colelction as well. It'd be pretty boring with just all my stuff. MusicYo has also commited to bringing over some instruments as well.

NS Design will not have a booth at the show, so Ned originally wasn't planning on coming down. However Gibson has "requested his prescence" in Nashville (mostly for the new line) and when I mentioned our event he said he'd likely to make the trip. If that's the case he'll definitely be at the Staturday event, and hopefully be able to show off the new line personally. I've also talked to several other former Steinberger employees who'll likely stop by as well. Also discovered they've got WiFi in the hotel, so we might try to arrange some kind of an online chat with Ned for those not attending in person.

Know that the Kramer guys had a successful inaugural show last yea. We're proud and pleased to be a part of things this year.

They do have a block of rooms set aside. So if you can't find lodging elsewhere they've still got rooms available. As we get closer to this (mid June) I'll be getting more info from those perhaps attending and releasing more details about our plans.

If you've thought about joining us consider this - since the hotel is near the airport you could always get a cheap Southwest Aitlines flight in on Saturday morning, take the hotel shuttle to join us and fly out again Sunday afternoon. It's a thought. . .
