Well, I didn't want to start this thread, because I could go on for hours. Tim and I arrived at about 10:15, left at 9:30, and the time went by so fast it felt like fifteen minutes.

High points for us:
Seeing our Mudcat friends and meeting new ones (Kendall and Barbara Shaw especially)
Dennis Cook's two workshops on amplification were really helpful
Hearing the Walking Wood Mandolin Quartet (not a tiple in sight!!!)
Nzinga's daughters were stunning!
Jamming with Roger Sprung et alia in the cafeteria
Hearing Sandy and Caroline Paton, Kath Westra, Bonnie Milner, and George Stephens and Mary Lamarca performing
I bought a Low D Susato pennywhistle--and I love it!
Watching the Celtic dancers in the cafeteria
Hearing music everywhere we went
Seeing people from babies to very old folks having a great time connecting to one another through dance and music

Lowest point:

Too much to do at once. We had to cut into and out of sessions halfway through to see/hear anything of some of the ones we wanted. Also, there was no meal break, and no food allowed out of the cafeteria, so we missed things we wanted to attend because our blood sugar needed reinforcement.

BUT WHAT FUN!!! Got home at 11:30 exhausted but wishing we could go back the next day. Can't wait for next year!
