Well, I'm off to the Seattle Center to do some volunteer work at Folklife today so I can have my schedule pretty free for the rest of the festival.

The weather seems to be exceptionally cooperative this year -- no rain but not above the 70s-80s temp-wise either.   

Reggie, I'm very sorry you're not on the program. It seems like there are some people who get booked for 2 or 3 gigs during the festival and others not at all. I've never liked that.
But I don't know all their criteria. I just know it's not based entirely on talent; the TYPE of program you're offering counts for a lot too. (E.g., they're flooded with singer-songwriters and don't have as many ethnic dance groups.)
