    Great lineup. As of right now my plan is to be there for Saturday. Probably not Sunday though due to a conflict.

    A good way to reduce indecision is to go to all three! Looks like fun.

    Not sure the wife would be home after doing all 3, add the ProgDay and RIO I'm already going to and that would be 5 festivals. That's Debi Byrd territory.

    Yeah, but she's a Byrd and can fly.

    Ah, Facebook - I never think to look there!

    Just the dates - do you go to most of them? That's a pretty long haul from Boston to Baltimore.

    Ok, this will probably be a great lineup.

    I've only been to Orion once for Cuneifest. This is a 2 day event so piques my interest.

    I can make the Saturday. The Sunday will have to be decided on whether I want to drive right after the last act ends and arrive at work just as school starts.

    Game time decision I'm afraid, and if I do I'll be alone.

    I already asked in some other section on another thread, but I guess it's worth also to do it here - did anyone went and managed to see Presto Ballet and how were they?

    I caught some of their set. I will try to write up a full review of Saturday when I get time (probably tomorrow).
