Hi Everyone,

I was really dismayed when I read this post because I realized that it was 
my error in judgment that caused Steve to miss out on the news.  As some of 
you who have been a member of this list may have realized, I haven't posted 
about an IPO show in about a year.  I used to post before every IPO show 
with news about the schedule, etc..., but over the years I started to sense 
an ever increasing apathy, possibly due to newer members who weren't 
familiar or weren't interested, or to long-standing members who no longer 
cared.  I'm a sensitive person, and it hurt me when I would either get no 
response to my posts, or would get a joke response to one of the show's 
lineups (thankfully, not having to do with the quality of the bands, but 
maybe some pattern in the band names...).

Anyway, I need to remember that when it comes to IPO I'm supposed to be 
first and foremost a festival promoter, and I forgot that, and I let my 
emotions get the better of me.  Also, I assumed that anyone on the list who 
did have an interest in IPO would check the website and/or myspace page 
without my having to prompt them.  I was wrong, and Steve, I do apologize 
for that, and I apologize to any Auditeer who has missed my posts.

I will resume posting about IPO.  Hopefully some of you unfamiliar with the 
festival will check it out.  I'm sure you'd be glad you did.
