Who's Going Week 2 ???

[Guy Hill]

I'm feeling a little left out with all this talk about Week 1 !
I'm coming with my 11 year old son to Week 2, flying into Atlanta from UK on Saturday evening, then driving up to Maryville on Sunday morning.
I'm going to try "intermediate" flatpicking this year, which is probably a bit optimistic, but hey you've got to aim high......
Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces & meeting many new ones. Anyone else bringing any youngsters with them? It would be nice for my kid to meet a fellow beginner flatpicker.

Uh-oh. . . I thought it would be pretty hot and maybe sticky, so I packed for that. I'm already in trouble! Coming from Australia, I could only fit so much in my luggage. Already have super thin sleeping bag with no lining, towel, pillow. Looks like I may have to sleep in my clothes!! This is a worry. . .

"For those of you thats coming in for the first time, its really cold in the dorms, I mean really cold, had to go get a blanket last year, cold in all the class rooms too, it might be hot outside, but you can hang meat in those class rooms. Thought I would throw that in, they got one of best A/C systems I've ever seen."
Be prepared.

At least the temperature for the week doesn't look so bad....highs in the mid-upper 80s and lows in the lower 70s. Pretty ideal considering what it could be this time of year haha.....like everyone else I'm just hoping that the buildings aren't TOO cold. Guess we'll find out in a couple of days!

Can't wait!

Don't worry about it - I always leave the aircon on during the day to cool the room then turn it off at night and use a cotton liner only
