Why, yes, I'll be there, thanks for asking. Lots of gear to flog or trade, including:
-[ed: ...a bunch of stuff...]
- a bunch of Big Ed's nice-ass tele partscasters and tele necks from Warmoth, Musikraft, Allparts. He'll be there as well.
Here's an action shot of me with the Hammerbag, from the last Burlington Edfest, courtesy of Pete. I will include a free carrying bag with every purchase!

*SUNDAY, not Saturday

Hard to resist when I'm not far away. Man, you have some cool stuff for sale. Should post some pics and prices.

Paying cash has always been a deterrent for me at these shows. Hope people are willing to do EMT or PayPal.
It’s was a few hour drive, though I went to Elmira earlier this year. How might this show be in comparison if it was to drive the distance?

It's much smaller. Probably 1/5 the size, IMO. And Tundra takes a lot of the space to show all the garbage they sell along with a few cool Fender Custom Shop guitars they have in stock. For me it's a commute from Toronto, a fun way to kill a day, and I always sell or trade some gear. For you, it's 6 hours of driving. If I had to drive that much to get there, I wouldn't do it.

Looks like I can make it, probably for the morning. I always think I'll throw a couple of items in the trunk in case a fabulous trade happens... but always too shy to follow through. Fun to browse though. I've discovered some great people and products. Hope to chat with Dr Dan Amps.
Et tu, Stephanus?

I have a table booked as well...

‘61 Rickenbacker 335 Capri
‘54 Gibson GA-40 Les Paul Amp
‘14 Fender 60th Ltd Ed 1954 Stratocaster
‘64 Vox AC4
‘76 Guild F-50
Two MIM P. Basses
‘67 Fender Coronado Rare Lake Placid Blue
‘59 Ampeg M12 “Mercury” Amp
Hofner ‘61 “Cavern” Bass 500/1 reissue
Possibly a few other guitars, or another bass or a few other things like Fender noiseless strat and Jazz bass pickup sets, a few SD59 PAF pickups, all unused

I'll take them all. In trade for exactly the same stuff but in different colours.
Hey, thanks for asking!
It was the usual, same-old-same-old.
Met some new faces, hung out with some familiar faces, so great fun.
Conclusions:
1
-the Ampeg VT-22 is an awesomely fantastic-sounding amp
-the Ampeg VT-22 is a very heavy amp
-the Ampeg VT-22 works like a charm and is still for sale
2
-the Koch Twintone III head is an awesomely fantastic-sounding amp
-the Koch Twintone III head is reasonably light, compact and portable for a 50 watt head
-the Koch Twintone III head works like a charm and is still for sale
....and so forth.
Sadly, I didn't see much of my pals Bob Borden or Bill King, which I usually do.

I was thinking about coming out, but I had rehearsal yesterday.
Wanted to discuss your Rivera's (used to have a 212 Fandango. I miss that).
The only thing stopping me is the weight and my gear kitty is low on funds. lol.
