The Gathering is the same weekend I’m in Montreal (plus a day in Maxville, ON) for the big North American Pipe Band Championship weekend. So I’ll be sweating a lot, playing GHB a lot, drinking… some, and eating poutine and smoked meat. This will all be done under the influence of 8 yards of worsted wool.
I’ll be there. This is going to be my first year. Not sure whether I’ll take any classes or not. I’d like to spend some extra time meeting makers and getting some reeds straightened out. I’ll bring smallpipes. I’d love to share a tune with anyone who’s interested.
