Thanks Mano - I had sent a note to the list many months ago envisioning an "HF Trailer" but never had any volunteers...so we'd love to incorporate your idea in the plans for 2012.
Not sure, given the reinforced concrete construction, if the wire strung between balconies would be affected. Thanks for the input - We'll put it in the "idea jar" - around September / October I'll leave myself a reminder to follow up with you on this. We tend to go dormant from a Fest planning perspective from April through mid-September, because that's when schedules and plans try to firm up.
