Hi David I sent you and Mel a private message about that event and the one near Montreal...
Seriously, it won't have a more extensive HG track (as you mentioned before)? I was kinda planning maybe not attending the festival in Montreal (Chant des Vielles), but it would make little sense for me to go all the way from Brazil just for "diddly bow" and all... Maybe I'll reconsider going to Montreal after all, but is anyone else here planning on going there as well? Please take a look at the message I just sent you guys.
