Hi All: I'm just back from the fantastic ARSC Conference in Austin. We had a Record attendance this year (pun intended!) and lots of new folks this time. Rich Nevins of Shannachie/Yazoo Records, Chris Strachwitz and Tyrone Settlemier were there. Lots of phono chat too. The big news is that we confirmed Seattle for next conference on May 20th-25th 2006. Patrick Feaster is Program Chair and Kurt Nauck will continue as Conference Chair. I'm exhausted from the Austin Conference! I took mucho photos which I may share when I get through them. Anyway, mark the dates on your calendar! Steve
