could also have it as a warm-up Bardic and make it a requirement that
competitors attend both Friday and Saturday night Bardics (Friday to get the
instructions/challenges, Saturday to actually compete).</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>The only problem with this idea is being able to compete on Friday night
due to mundane concerns. If you get out of work at Xpm and can only get to
site by Zpm and the bardic is at Ypm it leaves you hanging out in the
breeze. It could cut a lot of good entertainers out of the main bardic
competitions the rest of the weekend and nobody wants that.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I DO like the idea of a warmup bardic to entertain on Friday night
after things get set up. That is why I like the parties and stuff I walk into
and stumble out of on Friday night. I just think that Friday night should
stay more relaxed than required seeing as there is so much to set up on a Friday
night and folks still need to come down off the workweek on Friday night before
the main event stuff on Saturday. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would say provide it but don't require it for competition. Just
give the challenges and instructions at morning court or in the event
program.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My two cents. That and 3 dollars won't even get you a gallon of gas.
