Hello to everyone on this forum.
The 2012 East Coast Ventures Fanfest was held over this past weekend much to the delight of everyone in attendance.
Unfortunately there were some people who usually attend but due to personal reasons or family obligations had to cancel.
The event was a rousing success again this year, in fact after last year's fest it seemed as though it hit the top of the chart and it would be difficult to get much better, however, it did!!
I would like to thank Bob Spaulding & Artie for coming again, their appearance just makes everything worthwhile.
To the host, Tom Baltaeff, another phenomenal job of organizing the event. For anyone who doesn't know, there's not a day that goes by all year when some kind of thought or idea is discussed or gone over concerning what can be done to help improve or better the day for all.
It was a pleasure to meet the new attendees such as Bob Dowd and Charlotte, John Drysdale and his wife, & Kristi Lynn Kuhn just to mention a few. The tributes to Bud Hubler & Mike Kuhn were certainly emotional and well received by all.
Congratulations to all of the jammers as their playing stepped up to a very high level due to dedication, much practice, and personal pride.
I can't wait to see the DVD's that will be put together, anyone who could not make it should make sure that they arrange to get copies when they are available.
There certainly is a closeness & meaningful friendship that has developed since the 1st Fan Fest took place. All I heard people saying to each other at the end of the evening was what a wonderful time they had and couldn't wait until next year. That's exactly how I feel.
I'm glad I have this forum to express my sentiments.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the 2013 Fanfest.
Regards, Bernie
