I think it would be a mistake to even think of trying to organise anything like past events for 2005. I would suggest that folk who are involved in events that they think they can continue to organise - without too much problem, just go ahead and do so. A central site where efforts could be recorded and offers of help focused - would be a good idea.

But a realistic approach about what is possible and what is not - should be the order of the day for 2005, from the start. Festvals are first about people. Accomodate them first, provide a few venues willing (and licensed) to enable some music making and dance - and see what happens.
