Thanks for bringing this together - gives a fuller picture. I am still tweaking my blog entries about the Festival if anyone wants to check it out. You know - storytelling process with memories.
Thanks for mentioning my post. I haven't gotten around to a full post on the festival yet. Sheila and I talked of making the trip for 25 years. I'm so sorry we took so long to actually do it. We enjoyed every single teller. And listened to the CDs we bought there all the way home.
This was a good way to put together the thoughts of all of us, Tim. Thanks!
