I can't recall, but last year, was there a system where people paid based on how many workshops they were planning on attending? I honestly don't remember how it was arranged.

Also, last year Aldrine's workshop was crazy over-filled. Is it in a bigger room this year?

I think I'm going to just drop by to check out the vendors, but I really appreciate you putting up the schedule so I can decide. Thanks a lot for posting this.

I emailed for an application but never received it. I'll probably just pay as i go.

Last year you paid one price and the classes were first come first serve for seats. And yes, Aldrine's class was packed and I actually had to sit on the lawn on the other side of the fence in order to participate. It's good knowing the schedule early so you can choose which workshops you want to attend before you go.

Aldrine had the largest area last year. He used one of my Roland Cube Street's to plug in his ukulele and a microphone, so he didn't have to scream and thrash his ukulele to be heard. Yes, Aldrine's classes had the largest draw and are expected to be huge again this year. It's like a game of finding "Where's Aldy" in these photo's of Aldrine's classes:

More photo's of Aldrine's classes last year:

Some who did not attend last year may not have an idea of how big and how much fun the Southern California Ukulele Festival in Cerritos really is. I'll post the photographs I have online again in this thread, for everyone to get kind of an idea of what to expect (as in LOADS OF FUN!). Ric
