That's right! Amadeo Bachar will be doing the art work for The Albion Open 2012.  I am  really excited about this fact. Amadeo's work is known worldwide and you will have a chance to own a piece of it next year at the Albion Open. Briefly the work will include the 4 species on the catch list in environment. Sketches will be coming in sometime after the first of the year. Amadeo is really busy right now with projects but its a done deal. The final art will be out sometime in March 2012.  Thanks Amadeo!  If you've held off buying clothing before don't miss out this time. Thanks, Craig

Oh wow, that's real cool Craig! I've recognized some of his work, going over through his website. I dunno how ya got him to be involved, but awesome job brother

Can't wait to see the sketches and final artwork

Where do I actually make reservations?

www.albionrivercampground.com
Theres a link on their page where you can make a reservation, think you pay a $40 deposit or something, depending on the site you want.

Yay - another female !  lol 

Thanks Calypso! Got to the site... now I just need to figure out what days we actually want stay. Do you know what the tournament schedule is or where I can get it? I'm actually a spectator at this one, just starting out myself. But I'll be there with my guy winderneshunter who will be participating. I'll look for you!

I'm Shilo   

I'm new myself, but its loads of fun, I couldn't just watch.  lol   Tons of great people too !!

I was at Albion this year.  Rich (MontanaN8V) got a charter boat on Friday so we got to go fish out of Ft. Bragg, tourney was Saturday and chilled on Sunday.  Not sure if its always that way though.

Craig, (Ravensblack) is the one who has the monster job of putting Albion together, so he's the one to contact.  I'm sure he'll post here too to answer.
I know Rich said he wasn't going to be able to make Albion next year, so not sure about the charter boat for '12....maybe theres going to be something else planned.

I got my spot, can't wait ! 

The actual tournament will be on Saturday. It will start one hour before sunrise and end at exactly 1pm at the fish cleaning station. Friday is just check in and chit chat with all the peeps. Buy raffle tickets and party. Pot luck will be at 5pm on tourney day. Sundays a chill day to play or pack up. Im glad to see Brian has a chaperone now. Hes such a trouble maker.

Put me down for a 3xl hoodie.

If I can influence color... How about a green hoodie! Kelp green. 

I've got black, brown, tan and grey from previous events.
