Other'n that my two sets didn't get much of an audience (perhaps it's my breath mint?), I enjoyed the festival.

The fire marshall problem is partly due to the formula they use for capacity for a room -- if they used a formula that didn't presuppose school desks, there'd be room for more chairs and thus larger audiences. How to get them to use a different formula, though...

The two-school thing did get a bit much, but at least we got exercise, going from one to the other, so that's not so bad. The lousy location for some vendors was, well, lousy, and needs fixing.

All I can say is, thank God for loverly weather. And thank God the next generation suddenly showed up. Kids all over the place, jamming and jamming and otherwise playing music (when they weren't jamming). Now we'll have to compete with those kids, when they decide to send in suggestions for workshops/concerts/etc.
