Yea, sorry about the time thing Glenn. I think its a valid point.
Although the reason I didn't post the schedule online is because I
knew some bands wouldn't show up on time, and things would not stick
totally to schedule. And I was right! We had to switch 3 or 4
different slots and we ended about a half hour late. I knew things
would change day-of, so I'd rather people not know what times bands
are going on so they can't complain about how their favorite band
didn't go on at exactly 5:55.

In any case, for 3 band bills I strongly agree about keeping order and
times clear (and I think 506 is one of the best around at making that
info clear and accurate). For 12 band bills I can say from experience
nothing ever goes as planned.

Thanks to everyone who came out!
