Oh, and it was great to see old friends among the Mudcat crew and to attach faces to their online personnas of those I hadn't met offline before. Dick and Susan, Mary Garvey (who finally showed up on Sunday),Phillip Morgan, Genie (who got to judge an uncontested Band Scramble Monday afternoon), Stewart, Deckman and Don at the "History" workshop, Jon Bartlett and many others whose names are lost in my sleep-deprived brain. I promise that I will not inflict my Freshwater Coast Guard Chantey on you again for at least another year (unless you ask...)

The green dot thing seemed to have worked pretty well, although the dots could have been bigger. But bigger dots cost about twice as much, and I'm a cheapskate.

I think there are about 372 dot stickers left on the roll in the Festival Services storage box, so we have more than enough to use them again next year.
