I haven't heard anything, but I'm confident it will happen.

Go on, break my heart. I won't be able to be there this year. I'm passing back through Raleigh to see the grandkids on my way home from St. Louis, but I can't stay until the following weekend and go to Monroestock.

Hope it's not the same weekend as my 30th HS reunion in NJ. I'd love to attend this year!

Well, last year I broke an ankle a few days before and couldn't make it. And it seems as if it coincides with the opening of bow season here. Tough choice for me :D

Although it was a remote possibility for me to go to Monroestock, I just booked a wedding for October 20... so now I really can't go! :(

Hope everyone has a good time though! Take lots of pictures for those of us who can't be there!

Chances are it will be October 20. (Traditionally the 3rd Saturday in October).

IS October 20th, was announced as such last year...course, then many things can happen in a year.

Same here. Have committed to play up in Sheboygan on the 19th and South Bend the 20th (after scooping my husband and son up from the Notre Dame-USC game). Had originally planned to play up in Munising, MI that night and do a UU service in Marquette that morning, but going up to the U.P. and having to rise at dawn the morning after a late gig and drive over an hour to set up to perform again in the morning--for little-to-no money compared to great lodging and gas expense--no longer makes sense to me. Susan graciously excused me from those commitments--I can drive home from Sheboygan after the SASS! gig and sleep in the next morning while the boys take the train to Notre Dame, and then we'll drive home together after I play solo (open mic at Chicory Cafe--a Louisiana-themed set) that night--no hotel rooms necessary and less gas consumed.
