Oy. I've been looking at all the announcements on the bardic lists about all the stuff that's going on at Estrella and I'm just going, "Hell, NO! That's too big a venue." The Sunday night bardic concert is now filled with a "star" lineup. Thank God. Me they don't need.
Re: Open Arms, I don't want to be on a stage, dammit. Sorry, that's my idea of hell. That's not busking. I'd much rather do laps with the gurdy - being able to walk and play at the same time is a novelty and a benefit. I see more people that way and I don't wear out my welcome. I learned that one my first Estrella while I was shopping and I heard a merchant mutter "Wolgemut must die" as they tuned up for their umpteenth inescapable set of the day. Now, I like Wolgemut, I think they're amazing, but they are loud and you cannot get away from that if you're tied down to a merchant tent.
