Good point on the 'Marketing' thing, Deb.

This year, the Seaport's communications Dept didn't even have
the Festival up in the front-and-center position on the Seaport
Web site until hell was raised on the Wednesday before!

Marc, the name I've been given is Jonathan Shay...since the
Festival follow-up meetings have already happened I must say
that it distresses me that you were neither given this information
nor invited to share your insights at those meetings.

To me it is either indicative of an abysmal level of internal
communications or a failure to properly position resources like
yourself to back-fill properly behind Geoff, Rick, and Craig,
perhaps both.
