Dani et al, no listing of workshops yet. Technically I'm only supposed to include people who have already registered. But so many people register at the last minute that we would never have a full program if I did that.

I've been up to my ears in selling my mom's house and getting our son off to college, so tomorrow is the target date to get organized and really get to work ha ha.

Please, people, if you're planning to come, PM me or e-mail me. Give me an idea of how likely you are to make it. If you have workshop ideas, let me know. Also what kind of music you do, and whether you're experienced in performing in front of people or teaching something. And whether or not you'd like to be on the program. Brag about yourself a little if you think it's justified.

One thing that was VERY helpful last year: a couple of people e-mailed me with info about other mudcatters who were coming. If you know someone who should be on the program, please let me know, and say why you think so! It's easier to brag on someone else than on one's self.

We have a very complicated agenda in setting up this program. There are types of music that have to be included or folks will be disappointed, etc; we have to balance different kinds of performers and topics; we have to match sessions with the space available; we know that certain types of event aren't usually well attended; etc. So please be understanding if we don't schedule a workshop or concert that you would like to see. Just remember those magic words, "Good, Though!" and consider that next year *you* could get stuck being program chairman.

I plan to set up a web page listing the sessions that are already set up. I'll keep updating it. Once it's set up (maybe by the end of the week ?... I've never done one but I'll try...)I'll put a notice here.
