Brief report from NEFFA 2002:

(With my editorial comments)

Parking: Horrendous

Yes, I'd assume it was, on Saturday, at least. What we did was get a motel room right at the off-ramp from I-90 exit 13, which was about 5 minutes walk from the TJX lot. Then we walked to the lot and took the shuttle bus, leaving the van at the motel. Worked for us. Sunday we drove to the school early and parked while the public lots were still empty. Were at the school an hour before it opened up, but jamming in the sun was nice.

Food: Good and fairly priced It seemed overpriced to me, but I'm in VT. I still take issue with all the available food being more or less exotic. I'd like to be able to get a hamburger and fries it that's what I want. There was some good stuff, but a lot more that was too strange for me. Sorry.

Dance: Excellent No comment. Not my thing. An awful lot of people seemed to think so, though.

Music: Excellent Well, not uniformly (and if I thought so, modesty would compel me to lie about it, since we were playing). The average was certainly very high, though.

Organization: Very well done Yes, as always. I got the impression on Saturday that they were bumping up against the limits of the site in terms of the size of the crowd, however.

Peter.
