FARM 2010 is just four days away, and we already have 167 advance registrants! (That's twice the average since 2006, and 40% more than last year). There will be a Folk-DJ showcase on Thurs. night, headlined by Jim Post, Joel Mabus, and Lou & Peter Berryman. And of course, you're probably wondering when Andina & Rich will be playing. Our Performance Lane showcase is 11:20 pm Saturday night Oct. 9, in the Clover room (1st conf. room on the left after the lobby).
We're heading south to SERFA in Mt. View, AR the next weekend (Oct. 14-17 at the Ozark Folk Center). For those of you coming, our showcases are as follows:

Intimate friendly room with great acoustics (and gracious hostess!), and a show that'll be tons of fun.
