how long is your set, Dom?

Russ, unfortunately, or maybe fortunately depending on how you look at it each performer only gets 10 minutes. Performers play all day long every 15 minutes. Five minutes to get on and off and 10 minutes to play. That gives me 3 songs with the last one being a shorter one.

it'll be cool to see everyone! plus the weather is gonna be lovely too! quick question tho, is this a big event w/ vendors etc? some of my ppl want gifts an i want food =)
 
Lots of vendors, Hawaiian style food. You won't go hungry and there are plenty of gifts to be found.
 
Alright someone's gonna have to be on the lookout for me if we're gonna have a UU get together. I'm very forgetful of who people are. Plus I'm extra shy :eek:
