I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to say that I am finally going to get down to Wilmington this weekend to see Kent's place, to hear Lil' Rev play, and to take a couple of workshops. I live in the central part of North Carolina, and have known about the North Carolina Ukulele Academy since Kent opened it, but I've just never made it down.
By the way, I am spotlighting Kent and the NC Uke Academy all this week at my site, UkeView.com.
