Frank,

Thanks so much for posting this! I hadn't heard about it, but I'm really excited. It's only about a 2.5 hour drive for me.
Is anyone else planning to attend (or seriously considering it)? If so, let us know!

I spoke to Ron yesterday on the phone. From what he's told me about the Hang Camp, it sounds like a great experience. He described it as an "totally immersive " experience for the Hang player. There are several workshops through the weekend intended not only to build playing skills, but also to work with other musicians as well.

This weekend, coincidentally, is happening the same weekend as the HangOut. I know there has been a lot of ideas about how to connect the two events virtually..... which I find to be a VERY intriguing possibility. Imagine.... a trans oceanic Hang celebration! I would very much like to take the family to England, but this may be a more viable alternative.

Lodging and meals are included in the 3 day price.

Now imagine this..... "Appel Farm" .......... "Mellow Farm"...........


"First Annual Mellow Appel Hangfest"........

Has a ring to it.

Just heard word that this event has been cancelled... been on the website but nothing has yet been mentioned??? Be a hugs shame if it has been :(

:( :( :(

Got very excited reading this thread about possible trans atlantic web jamming between 2 hangouts, then got to Kel's post :( :( hope this may change.

Technical difficulties aside I think a webcam connection to the hangout UK is an interesting idea. But possibly one too far into the technical era lol Mellow farm is not the most technical of places which is one of the reasons i like it so much

I have my fingers and toes crossed for the Hangcamp .
