I should have put this under the heading:

PNW DEBATE! Where and what is it and does anyone really want to be a part of it?

:-)

You guys gave me a lot of info. I especially liked the links -- and I had checked out the Soka University Festival already and am excited about trying to make the trip! Also, the San Fran. Festival is so close it would be a shame for me NOT to go check it out.

For future reference, when $$ and time afford, any good ones (smaller, intimate, camping over type deals) anywhere around, even up washington/oregon way? I would dig a cool place to informally meet and jam with people, sleep over, talk/drink/jam into the night....

?
