It was! Haven't had a weekend off in three years, so it made it more enjoyable.

I had a thought about going at the last minute but it wasn't really practical.
Your photos gave a nice feel for the show.

Welcome... While I am a guitar junkie, I'm always amazed at how personable and open these builders are. They know full well that, barring a Mega Millions win, I likely won't be buying an instrument. In fact, I come to these shows not just to drool over guitars, but pick some lutherie brains. The only way I can give it back is to celebrate their work and their dedication to it here, and hope that their advice and knowledge comes through with my work.

Same here! This is the second show that I have traveled alone to; so it was great to have welcoming people and familiar faces to just hang out with. Thanks!
