Wendell, I am looking forward to the week. I am coming with a friend after all so I am glad I booked and paid for the double dorm room. We will be flying into Portland and then driving down to San Francisco. Man, the cost of a rental car is out of sight. If you know of any deals I would appreciate info. I guess picking up a car in Portland and dropping it off in San Francisco causes the price to really go up. If there is anything I can do to help out, please let me know. I look forward to meeting you and if you have time maybe we could have a visit.
Do you know if there will be tickets available for the ring? It might be nice to attend one of the performances. Take care.

Only 2 weeks to go! Rooms in SF for IHS 43 are still available at the Comfort Inn (on the web site). Many people from the workshop are staying there. Those of you looking to hook up with car pools might want to take it to the Horn People site on facebook and the Memphis and Yahoo Horn forums. With a roommate, the price is no more than the dorms and includes breakfast and airport shuttle. You can have up to 4 people per room. Flight, room and car packages are still out there at several of the internet travel sites. It might not be as expensive as you think. We have posted a day to day schedule on the web site: Schedule Check the pdf file as well as the page itself, which is presentations only. This promises to be a very special workshop, if i do say so myself. Take a look at the exhibitors list. All the best horns and horn people in one place for one week. Did you ever have a lesson with Arnold Jacobs? Free? Are you not a little interested in what I am spending my time writing a new book about? I've sold 1500 copies of my first one. How about Dennis Brain? See a couple of his actual horns. Hear what they sound like. Hear tapes of him you have never heard. How about a class with the San francisco Symphony horn section? Hear them play the Hindemith quartet on the opening concert. How about putting a face on all the great horn playing you have been hearing on TV and in the movies all your life? Do you know the story behind the studio scene, as told by the people themselves? Would you like to help us celebrate the efforts of the great pioneers of the Hollywood studio scene and the LA Horn Club, the first horn ensemble? Meet the great pioneers of those days. Show them how much you like what they did. And if that isn't enough, what about some of the best horn players in the world playing for you everyday and giving master classes? Still not enough? How about world premier pieces and interesting performances of all kinds by our contributing artists? Not convinced yet? Two words: Genghis Barbie on the wharf, doing whatever they want. OK, check out the schedules. As one of our great teacher/players said to me recently, "Its like a year of horn study in one week." It may be too much for some of you, I know, but I survived about 13 of these things over the years, so you can too. I'm giving you a half day off to re-energize, maybe take a lesson or special class with someone and/or hangout with your new friends. Otherwise, I can't help you. :- ) I have done what I can. See you there. i wish I could say "The drinks are on me!" Now that, i can't do.
