What about a Huntsville CBG builders round-table forum Saturday morning before the afternoon entertainment starts?

Since there are lots more builders of CBG's than players, what about having a builders forum gathering at the festival before the afternoon entertainment agenda begins?

Since I'm currently a far-better CBG builder than a player (I'm working on it . . . it takes time, you know :-), participating in a builders forum/round table meeting would be a high-value/high-priority activity for me . . . Does anyone know if Shane/Ben or anybody from C.B. Gitty is going to be attending this festival and could moderate a builders round-table forum for a couple of hours?

Outstanding idea George! I'm planning to attend and am more interested in building and interacting with builders. Will be my first festival, will see how it goes.

Hey Doug - Thanks for your reply. Ditto for me as well; This is also my first festival. Leaving early tomorrow morning to drive up from Florida to Huntsville (325 miles) and overnight hotel it so I am able to attend the Friday evening festivities and the full day Saturday activities as well.

I hope to see you there.

I'm bringing 4 of my earlier CBG build's with me + 2 (maybe 3) amps just in case there is an impromptu last-minute builders "meet/greet/show/tell" gathering organized on the fly somewhere in the complex over this weekend . . . We'll just play it by ear, and adapt to any additions or changes in this regard as they come our way!

:-)

Will be there tonight and tomorrow. My wife and I flew down from Spokane, Washington, so I didn't bring any guitars. Looks like you will be well equipped. It would be great to connect.

Great connecting tonight at the festival. Thanks for the lead on gig bags. They are readily available. I got plenty of hits using: fender urban mini strat gig bag. They are only $30 at Amazon.
