There has been a long-time conflict between the SEMP performance and open filking circle music camps at Minicon, but I'm pretty hesitant to say that elitist musicians shouldn't have an invitation-only scene if that's what they themselves want.

Obviously, they can do anything they want. They could also have private parties in their homes. But, when people who say "Oh, I'm not a snobby musician" then cut their non-cool friends to go to those private parties, they perpetuate the problem. The snobby party ends up sucking *all* the best musicians out of public space.

It just makes me so sad, and the rate things are going, I'm never going to get to an out-of-town convention again . . .

It would be nice if musicians all said, "'Its one for all and all for one' among us, and I don't want to go to your invitational party if I can't bring my friends." And I think the cool parties would be anywhere that such people chose to play.

But I wouldn't ask that of anyone to whom it doesn't come naturally and from the heart.
