Like a great many other folks here at the World Of Bluegrass, Brance and I are moving a little slowly this morning.

The first day at IBMA, for those who exhibit in the trade show, involves a frantic rush to load in, and get your display assembled and spruced up before the hall is opened to the public. That was Monday morning for us, ably assisted by Andy Friedman of AcuTab, getting our retail product display and iso booth for recording GrassCast interviews constructed.

We had the pleasure of meeting many regular readers of The Bluegrass Blog, some fairly prominent in our business, others hoping to be some day. I’ll post later this morning with some of the news we picked up in idle discussion.

Not all of the vendors/exhibitors who will display this week arrive on Monday, leaving the exhibit hall a bit spare for the first day, but we were pleased to see so many smaller companies and new exhibitors setting up.

We’ll have more photos from the exhibit area as the week progresses.
