How far is Geneseo from Woodstock? Not drivable?

I will exhibit two guitars at that show. It's my first time for Woodstock.
So, Please come and try my guitars at my booth and let me know your opinion about it. I would love to hear what American Guitar-lover thinks about my guitar! I am not good English speaker though,,,,

Thank you!

I had been going to take this year off, Woodstock-wise, but it started to look unwise, so I am now going to be there. I happened to call Baker exactly as he had a cancellation, so there is a strong meant-to-be feeling to my turnaround. See you there and then!

Great...I look forward to it!

Roberts-
Just filled the last tables; there will be 53 luthiers, 75 total exhibitors this year. We're cramming 'em in! Tonewood dealers in a tent, giving us more room for vendors and overflow luthiers in Utopia Soundstage Vendors Annex. New vendors Hoffee Cases and Cedar Creek Custom Case Shoppe now on board. Somebody just had to cancel, so when Bruce Sexauer called out of the blue yesterday, last-minute and not expecting anything, he got the very last luthiers table in Bearsville Theater. Our webmaster has been very ill and down recently, so final full 2014 exhibitors list, plus all the Music & Events and Clinics & Workshops aren't posted yet; hopefully later this week. Thanks, y'all!

Looking forward to being there! Was there a couple of years ago and excited to meet some of the really nice folks I've had a chance to speak with on here.

I am very happy and excited to be going back this year. I booked my room this morning. I will have a couple of my Grand Parlors and an SJ with me. Might bring an OM, but I only have half a table this year. Hopefully a Jumbo that is on the bench right now will make a brief appearance as it is a commission for a frequenter of the show. We are hoping to deliver it there. I am looking forward to it!

I hope to meet some of the AG folks there. If you see me, please introduce yourself.

It's such an honor to be invited back. If I'm not mistaken I believe this is my 5th year at Woodstock. Baker does such a wonderful job in such a cool venue. Thank you Baker.
