I'd vote for an open room, myself. The HearMe sessions used to have 15 or 20 people, and they worked fine, even without the "hand-up" -- just took an aware and active moderator who could draw out the wallflowers. (Which we had on Sunday!) I'm glad I got a chance to play my new guitar--thanks, Frank from Toledo, for the program that holds down the control button--and to realize how much more practicing I have to do! But it sure were fun, and great to hear such gooooood music.

I'd love to see this on a regular basis. Next week I'll be visiting my 7-year-old daughter in Colorado so I'll probably miss it, but I will make an effort to show up as often as possible.

Aloha,
Mark
