Seek multiple sponsors for the event; two would do. That would get it on
the calendar and increase the base of support for the event. Yes? No? Good
idea? Bad idea?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

would volunteer to do a class on Petrarch, Dante, Boccacio, and the
Neo-Platonist vernacular types of the early Italian Renaissance type poets. The
idea would be that the participants would leave with an understanding of the
period works, further reading, and a solid understanding/reference material for
recreating original works in the formats developed by these masters, and how
these masters created their own formats based on their study of previous
masters. (Two hours, though....)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Bardic<BR><B>Subject:</B> [Bards] Bardic collegium<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Since our previous hot topic has died down a bit, I'd like to start up a
new one that might not be quite so controversial. It is my hope to
organize a bardic collegium for the late spring or summer of this year, either
hosted by Steppes or attached to an existing event. If hosted by
Steppes, it would technically be a local or regional event given the kingdom
limitations on the number of kingdom-level events hosted by each group, but I
would love to see it grow and draw bards from thoughout the kingdom.
This is in the absolute beginning stages of preparation and so can be shaped
to fit the needs of the participants. I'd like to get input on the
following subjects:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Classes you'd like to see (and who might teach them)</DIV>
<DIV>Panel discussions you'd like to attend (and who would be good
participants)</DIV>
<DIV>Would you attend and/or teach (if available to do so) and what factors
might encourage your attendance?</DIV>
<DIV>Should it be attached to some other event or something all its own?</DIV>
<DIV>Would you be willing to contribute original pieces to a book to be sold
or given at the event?</DIV>
<DIV>Other issues I haven't thought of</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any takers?</DIV>
