Seeing Wooten tomorrow!

[TRyan5289]

Tomorrow I get the pleasure to attend a workshop before Victor Wooten's show. Unfortunately the tickets sold like a wild fire, and were gone in a heart beat. But, there is a workshop/clinic before hand that I was able to grab a couple tickets up for five dollars a pop. I plan on bringing $50 cash with me in hopes that someone is going to being selling tickets outside, but regardless, I'm stoked to see him. Also, I'm bringing a jazz pickgaurd and silver sharpie in hopes that I can grab an autograph.

What should I expect?

I went to one of his workshops. It was fantastic. Wooten was a very down to earth and sensible teacher. He didn't appear to be rushed at any time but he didn't have a concert afterwards either. I think he took the time to sign everything and talk to everyone. He had Anthony Wellington and Steve Bailey with him (both of whom were very nice also).

Have a notebook and pen to take notes.

An audio recorder helps too. Don't take a video camera because he's against those. Think of a question that you've always wanted to ask him. Enjoy.

I was thinking if anyone had a reasonable question, I might be able to throw that at him, in case someone asks a question like mine.

Cool. I saw the wooten band a few months ago in Denver. Very cool show. I can't speak to the clinic, but he seems like a great teacher and cool guy so I'd assume the clinic would be neat as well. Have fun.

Thanks for the advice.
Audio recorder, check, no video, check.

So I'm in my seat, third row, two seat from the center aisle. I'm as giddy as a school girl.

Awesome man! He is so cool to see speak in person. I had the pleasure when he played here in Charlotte a few months ago.
