OK, folks, here's a PRELIMINARY workshop list, including leaders where they have been confirmed. We are still waiting for quite a few calls and messages to be returned.

We have tried to communicate with each other, but it's possible some things listed here may not be quite right. If you are listed for something you haven't agreed to, or if we've asked you to do something and you've agreed to it, but it isn't listed here, please let us know ASAP by PM!

There are also some other workshops under consideration, so the list will grow and change as we get things nailed down.   There will also be a number of half-hour mini-concerts, a Friday night open sing, Saturday and Sunday evening concerts, and unlimited impromptu jamming, so rest assured there will be plenty to do!

We plan to put the schedule grid together within a week, and will post it as soon as we can. Then we'll do it over…
