Info booth staffers: If you're working the info booth, use this page to tell you how many beer/food tickets to give to the performers: please give 1 beer ticket and 1 food ticket to each performer as they come up individually, then mark on this sheet that you did it by the band's name.

This year Chervona was most popular. J and L think that higher energy folk music, fewer bands (4 ish) with longer sets. Avant Garde style, sample, etc, did not work so well. Band should be booked a minimum of 8 months in advance. The last band should finish well before the end of Geek Fair/deconstruction. There needs to be an individual responsible for ensuring that bands are starting and stopping when they are scheduled.
