Hey all,

Sean is right. I propose that Steve do some more research, and apply the
following ranking system to the festivals:

* = Robin teaching
** = Robin DJing
*** = Robin DJing and teaching

This would clarify matters tremendously.

One drop at a time,

I'm confused.
Why are we dropping Robin Thomas?

Sorry Marty,

I was just referring back to Michael's "flood of words, not one drop of
wisdom" line. The asterisks are a separate issue.
