Here is an idea. The FBISF starts the first (or second) Thursday of November. And there is a local kickoff party that Wednesday before. What if we did a Ramp Bash the weekend/weekdays before the festival kickoff? Cathy Pace hosts an open mic the Monday before the festival, and another one the Monday night of the festival. Maybe we could work out something with her? The idea of having our bash right before the festival is members could still stay for the first 3 days or so of the festival if they wanted to. And it might be easier to get stage time at the Flora-Bama. Just a thought.
MAB, thanks for checking in. I'm sure this means you're home now. Also, got a text from Gary C. He and AJ are back in Nashville also. Now if we could get a report on Dean Dillon who could not make the festival for health reasons, and Rusty Golden who could not make the festival because he was stuck in Dubai.
