I think it's unfortunate that Swannanoa and the Catskills are happening the exact same week! I hope to someday head down there for a week of great music, but my priority is the Catskills. This year myself and several members from The Session.org will be meeting up and staying together during the Catskills.
Who knows, maybe next year we can do Swannanoa too.
Yes, it's really stupid to have the two festivals the same week. I wanted to head up to the Catskills again, as well, but Swannanoa is the hometown thing.
Not taking any classes. Just - hopefully - playing mad tunes at night and drinking a lot. Have to work during the day. Or, rather, do work like things that involve sleep walking and sobering up for the next round.

I live in town and won't be doing classes but I'll be out for tunes at night.

Re: The Gathering
Oh, I can't go this year because I'll be headed up to Nova Scotia, but I sure wish I could. It looks like a great line up of teachers!
Jerball,
Have I met you there before...I attended in 2002 and 2003?
Have a great time at the evening sessions!

Erin,
It's quite possible. I was there.
I was helping Tommy Peoples teach his class both years.
...Just kidding. I was playing sessions at night and hanging around the beer tent.

Re: The Gathering
Helping Tommy...
Unfortunately I never took a class with Tommy...too many outstanding teachers to choose from.
The sessions are great...

Re: The Gathering
Shock and horror. Jeremy Ball in the beer tent drinking! Did I just miss the e-mail that the world is ending? *grin*
I've really got to make it out to Swannanoa one of these days. It sounds like a helluva lot of fun.

Re: The Gathering
no- you can't sit in the beer tent. I'll be holding down the slow tent so see you in passing! Jennifer
