Ah well, I don't expect a lot of direct competition from Dayton....even at Kulpsville, the Listening Lounge/Shindig is an acquired taste, and as far as I know my event will be the only shortwave related one.
I did screw up the URL: It's http://www.megapolisfestival.org Not a lot of specific information there yet...I also was wrong about the admission fee. It's $45.00 for all events from Friday 7pm-Sunday 4pm, with specific entry fees if one wants to attend single events. More information as I have it.
