<P>To answer Antonia's questions</P>
<P>If there is a bardic event in the steppes area, I would love to attend. One factor that would encourage my attendance is if the cost was kept low (site fees of 5-7 bucks are better than 10+ dollars). I may be available to teach a class as well, have to check the date. I think the event can stand alone or be attached to another event, but you need more than just classes. An informal bardic competition or a good bardic circle can be a good idea. The idea of such a gathering would be for bards to be able to hear each other. I would be more than happy also to contribute some original songs or poems to the book. As far as a panal discussion, it might be good to do something on documentation, or maybe a workshop where people could bring their documentation for things they are working on and get help in refining it for competition.</P>
<P>Thank you for putting together such an event. </P>
