Keep me posted on the cabin. There's also a decent hotel in town, with a pool. Sounds luxe, but me, at 52, really need at least six hours of sleep a night. Healthful and good.

Peace be with you!

If you're hoteling it noes the time to secure a room. Stuff fills up fast. In past years the Shriners have a gathering the same weekend.

I love the UU UWC page. I wish there were more posts.
There is a lot of chatter on the UWC FB page, though. That might be a great place to ask for roommates. (Maybe it's already been done.)

I seem to recall being the ones that other folks drifted off too (and possibly woke up to later) a couple of UWCs ago when You and Mandy, Dirk, Young Tim and I sang more than a few.

I know I ain't getting any sleep at UWC! But I love falling asleep to the sound of harmonies by a campfire.

I have been looking forward to UWC 2016 since last June. Well a few days back I ended up in the Hospital with what they thought was a heart attack and thankfully was not. I thought I might have to miss this year but am now on the mend and I plan to be there. Stop by and see the little old bald guy with the ballcap with the STEVE nameplate. I might have something for you.
And by the way it looks like the Hwy 135 bridge at Morgantown is out. So people coming from the north may want to take I-65 and Hwy 46 to Nashville.

Steve,

Glad you are OK. I have had some excitement myself but Sophia and I are still planning to be there.

Thanks Doug. I so look forward to seeing all my once-a-year friends. I have been making paracord hangers. Hopefully I will have enough to give one to lots of folks.

The field is looking great, the weather forecast is favorable. It's going to be a gooder! Not too late to pack the car and head towards Indiana.

Leaving Minnesota in two days.

This is my first post, and I want to attend the UWC advent. I'm about 35 miles east of Nashville, IN and will be there on Saturday for sure; possibly Friday.

Although I'm a long time bassist in multiple blues/rock bands, I've only been playing ukulele since April, and the bug has bitten. It's going to be a good summer, sipping ice tea and learning new chords. Learning the chords shouldn't be too hard, since the chord patterns are guitar-pattern, except they're a few octaves or frets higher. Much easier though to keep by the recliner for a quick chop or two; and easier on the arthritis.

Is there anything I need to know or purchase before showing up?

Bring a folding chair, ukulele, cooler full of ice tea and food, something to share for the pot luck. Don't feel shy about joining any uke jams that are forming. If you like camping, bring a tent and everything that goes with it.

Thanks Doug.
Finding Nashville is no problem, but finding the ukulele group in Needmore, out in the sticks of brown County, could be harder if there aren't any signs leading to it. (Unless it's easily visible from the main road leading to it).

We'll be there tomorrow afternoon (for the 8th time

). Staying at the Brown County Inn (for the first time) - Kristy wants to try out the pool before we head over to the event. Really looking forward to it!

Rrgramps · Jun 5, 2016

I was there, and the rain was too, with a few clearings and a couple of heavy downpours.
