I guess Rachel hadn't heard that. Matt didn't mention it at last night's party. That's fine with me. I wouldn't know what to do besides talk to people.

I would never say that elitist musicians shouldn't have invitation only parties if that's what they want. But I do think the Open Circles should be set up to allow for a good experience for everyone interested.

I don't think invitational parties would be SO overwhelmingly attractive that everyone invited would obviously prefer them, if they didn't offer better features (food, drink, etc), and there were enough accomplished musicians ready to play in Open circles with comparable features.

The problem seems to arise when ALL the accomplished performers disappear into a private space leaving a few less skilled performers alone in a bare room far from the party spaces and far from refreshments.

As I said, though: "I can't offer you the job, since it's not mine to offer, but you should talk to Keith or Matt and let them know if you're interested." I never offered you the position. Please don't make it sound like I did!

I saw a lot of in-group/out-group stuff going on at the con. Bleah.

Sorry if I mis-spoke about it. I don't remember exactly what was said, just the suggestion that I do something like that. I've followed up everywhere I mentioned the subject to say that Chas will be doing the job anyhow.
