Just wanna add my 2 cents -
the room restrictions were a drag (I got shut out of
a couple of things before they even started) but with
so much going on, I never felt deprived. The range
and quality of this year's performers were stellar -
many of the folks Dave mentioned I was also really happy to
see, and it was a special treat to have Geordie and Alison
there from Scotland. Their session on Willie Scot was phenomenal!

I didn't realize until after the festival that Julia Friend
and Sarah Pilzer were doing a session - there are a couple of
talented folks under 30! I missed them (I think we were opposite
each other in time slots) but at least got to see them in the halls.

Mark my words, next year will be even better.
