Claire, we've been intrigued by the idea of a workshop on house-visiting songs ever since you proposed it last year, but we've not found anyone who knew enough about the traditions involved to lead it. Lots of us know a few songs, but if we're going to do it, we ought to have a bit of the lore thrown in as well. Anybody want to volunteer for that one?

We're getting some interesting ideas here -- keep 'em coming!

By the way, I should mention that we have a very limited number of slots available for mini-concerts, as we want to keep most of the time available for the participatory workshops that make the Getaway the inclusive event it is. And of course all of our special invited guests are scheduled for minis -- it's just about the only perk they get. So don't be too disappointed if you're not tapped for a mini -- you're in good company!

More ideas?

Nancy
