It ain't worth waiting for the download, now that a NOMAD festival grid arrived in the regular mail.

Jeri, I do hope to see you again, if not at NOMAD then at NEFFA. Maybe we'll find time to do more than say "hello" while passing in the hallway. As for the cost/benefit ratio, I've never been to NOMAD before, so it's worth at least one visit.

Meanwhile, I'll be appearing at a Rock Against Racism concert in Frank Sinatra Park in Hoboken, NJ, on Sunday afteroon, October 5. RAR is the group that lost a 1989 US Supreme Court decision over the right to make amplified music in the bandshell of New York City's Central Park. I understand that they had to go to court last year against the City of Hoboken to have this concert in Sinatra Park.

I'll be appearing as part of MacDougal Street Rent Party, along with Joel Landy, Anne Price, Eric Levine, Takako Nagumo, and possibly Gina Tlamsa. I don't have any other details, other than it's heartening to know that we folkies are welcome.
