[Harp-L] Any IBC tips? I'm going to Memphis

[Andy Vincent <av1901@xxxxxxx>]

Just selected by Delaware's Diamond State Blues Society as their representative (Blue Cat Blues Band) in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in February. Any tips on where to stay and how to handle the IBC? I am looking forward to networking with my colleagues in the blues, handing out some CDs and maybe picking up some regional gigs moving forward. 
>From what I can gather from the posted rules, I'm the only one in our 4 piece that can bring his own amp (take *that* guitar players!). Or should I count on a Fender amp provided by the venue and use my Kinder AFB? I used my SJ410 to win last night.....
I'm hoping to get my Buddha 'C' harp repaired before February....
Any guidance for this new to IBC guy would be graciously received. Thanks
