I'll be running the Band Scrambles again, for the umpteenth time. This year, members of the winning bands get a special prize: in addition to the usual ridiculous trophy, everybody in the band will get....a tree! Saturday, Sunday and Monday at five o'clock (sign up to be in a band anytime before 4:00).

As for the rumored Mudcat stickers, they're currently magnetted to my refrigerator door. If you see somebody with a gold star on their badge, that's another Mudcatter. To get yours, go to the Festival Services desk in the lobby upstairs from the Food Circus and ask for it. Beth and Mary are the honchos for that desk, and they'll both know about them. I'll keep a bunch in my pocket, so you can ask me for a sticker instead (assuming you know who I am, or you come to a Band Scramble).

Don Firth, please look for me. I want to talk to you about the archive project.
