Wow! That sounds like a lot of fun. Wish I could make it, but my wife is having surgery the day before.

Hope everyone has a great time!!

Howdy,

I wish I could go, but y'all have made the unfortunate choice to have this bash on the wrong coast.

I wonder if L.E. McCullough would be willing to allow his paper to be posted here after the gathering...

Best,

Dave

Excellent idea. I'll ask him.

Is anyone who doesn't know anyone else thinking of going besides me?

Hi Sheryl,

You should go. Once you get there, you will know everyone else. It's a great friendly group. No matter what your skill level, you will fit in and feel welcome.

Or your money back.

Mike

(Just in case, there are no fees.)

I'll second that-- you'll go a "stranger" and go home with a bunch of new friends. Guaranteed. I've never met anyone at the last two gatherings that was less than terrific: very open, friendly and accepting.

BTW-- where upstate are you? I live in Cohoes (a bit north of Albany). I'd suggest carpooling, except my wife and I are going out a day early to visit Mystic CT.

I will know in a day or two whether I will be driving up from Danbury, Ct. or from Brooklyn, N.Y. and have room in the car if someone needs a ride. I will re-post when issue of point of origin is firmed up.

I would third (since Paul already seconded) the suggestion to stop on by. I have gotten a lot of good feedback and support from folks I met there last August.

Well, with a money back guarantee who can pass it up?

I'll be coming. I live in Saratoga Springs so Paul and I are practically neighbors!

In fact, I was at the ballet at SPAC last night!
We look forward to meeting you.

I'm another person who doesn't know anyone (well, anyone but colomon, but he's not going to be there), and given the friendly encouragement you've received, I'm leaning toward going. We'll have to see whether or not I actually follow through.

Don't forget, a good time or your money back.

If you need any more incentive.... between us, the NE people own whistles by MANY of the major makers and this would be a great opportunity to try them out and see what people have been talking about. People also bring used instruments for sale and you might get a bargain on a really cool whistle or other instrument.

Keep leaning! I hear as first timers we all get free tattoos!

But seriously, do come!

Cool! I'll be bringing every whistle I own (not that many compared with some of you) and it is fun to try out different makes. I've also got some that I just don't play that I can sell or trade... plus a few ocarinas.

I wish I could come, but it's rather far from here (13 hours, I think), and I don't know I'd want to drive that alone.

You guys have a rockin' time, though, and I expect to hear all about it when you get back.

I'll be at the first SE whistle gathering, though, if that ever happens!
