Good Man Chuck!

Good luck at your pegged fests!  I prefer to call them "targets of
opportunity". They are a mission, complete with strategies and plans of attack.

I always grab a fist full of up and coming fest lit. at these bashes.  I
have 12 planned in 1997 from Raliegh, NC to Westminister, Maryland.  Now you
are in the "hamfest groove"!!  You will soon not want for much, as you pick
up this and that odd piece.  The hunt is what its all about....  "the game
is afoot"!
