Please contact me privately about meeting details as I've already started arrangements with a few of you. Also, it seems that every room within a 20 mile radius of the festival is booked. Did anyone have the forethought to book extra rooms?? Anyone? Know of a vacation home out in oldsville that's unoccupied? :-0 I have to at least throw it out there before I take drastic measures.

I am going to go from a US perspective on this, let me know if you need a different one. 12inch domestic is from 6-8$, import 12inch is from 9-11$ Single lp is from $11-17, and a doulbe or triple vinyl is from $15-$25.
