Even more glad I chose to observe the workshop instead of participate.
What did I tell ya?!?

I'll be there! I actually live less than 30 mins away so if anyone wants pumice/lava/high fired clay/bonsai soil mix let me know as it'll be easy for me to bring it over...
Observing can be a good approach, I've done that a couple of times. The nice thing is that you get to see in a fair amount of detail what is being done to each tree. When you have your own specimen you tend to focus in on that one and miss what everyone else is doing.

Another nice thing about MABS is you also have a chance to observe the artists in the breakout area, where they work on the trees after they leave the main hall. It varies by artist, but it's generally a very good up close and personal view of the artist working on their tree with some light banter with the observers.
IMHO best way to observe at MABS is to sign up for a critique of the exhibits trees. While I've never gone to a bad critique, one of the best out there will be doing one. I've signed up for Suthin's critique and I would heartily recommend it (or one of the others) to anyone.
