One issue might be we can no longer email you from the board only send PM so those who do not have your email cannot email you.
Regulars to the board have my e-mail, and I did send out the initial announcement by e-mail mainly for those who don't frequent the board as much. So all should have it. Potential new people who might wish to join have figured out how to contact me via the board, at which time they can share their e-mail address privately and I give them mine. Understand the need to keep facts in one place so that I don't have to search many places to put together Fest related documents when the time comes to work on them.
I do it this way because from time to time we do understandably have people who don't wish to publicize the fact on this public forum that they will be in travel at a certain time.
