What a fantastic line-up. Makes it awfully hard to pass up.

A wild hair is growing. But this time no laptop - it never made it out of the bag two year ago!

I would venture a guess of my attending to be about 20%. But that's 20% more than last week. Maybe we can convince Lotus, Wizzard, Wojtek, Prickly, Hans, etc to join Keith and Mortis.....

Re: Summers End Festival announces The Tangent and Magenta
