I guess I always try to assume the best of people, but I can't help but think that anyone that volunteered to serve wouldn't be heard. I served on the committee for three or four years and we were always desparate to find volunteers. I am sorry if you had a bad experience, but if it's a subject that you're passionate about, I would encourage you to try and volunteer again.

Also I remember from being on the committee that the budget is razor thin. It's really hard to put on 2 shows for free. So anyone out there that is reading this, please consider being a sponsor. If you can't sponsor, please consider donating as a "friend of the fest" - I think they take any dollar amount, no matter how small. And trust me, it helps.
