I echo Bernie's sentiments - too many exciting things to describe in a few words.  IMHO,this was the most rocking fanfest ever.  There were several new tunes and arrangements, as well as new players.  Bob Spalding started off his acoustic set with Classical Gas - playing solo on his Nylon string thru an acoustic amp.  That was great and the folks who weren't there missed something very, very unique from Bob.  Our host Tom did the vocals on "He Never Came Back", along with appropriate body antics and also adlibbed as a comedian to fill in some time.   The playing by all was sounding more and more polished.  In most cases you couldn't make out the fact that the players in a group had never gotten together before and played the tunes they were belting off so smoothly.  Watch the DVDs and be there for Fanfest 2014 - which will probably be even better.  Fanfest is surely turning out to be an annual pilgrimage for Ventures aficionados that is well worth it !!!
