Well how about that, the Shiny Bum Singers were discussing the very same matter here in Canberra on Tuesday night, in company with fellow Budists Andrew McKay and Carole Etherton who left my place this morning on the way back to Sydney. We even had the festival poster out, which is a happy souvenir of a great time.

The Bums won't be able to make it over again this year, but keep a spot warm for us in the land of legend - fond memories of the Falcon and the Tree Inn, the great welcome, and putting a face to so many Mudcatter names. Like General MacArthur, we will return.

Love you all, and happy to give feedback, though I can't think offhand of anything we would have improved, except our schedule which had us hacking across to Rochester for another magic session on the Sunday. Was there ever a better weekend?

Calling all Mudcatters - this is a great little festival, be there.

Geordie-Peorgie sorry to miss you too! Love your messages.

If we can help from here, let us know.

Chris
