Speakers this year will include Gov. Howard Dean (speech free and open to the public), Jeffrey Feldman, Jim Dean, Charlie Grapski, Nathan Gonzales, and more! Entertainers will include Subway Serenade, Bobby Kendes, and more! Plus, there will be parties late into the night on both Friday and Saturday nights!

R.S.V.P. ~ good addition Susan, lots haven't rsvp'd
So, that can go into the kitty or be used by someone else.
I'm hoping it's not the blog issues that will keep you from coming - said this to Phil downthread...
DemocracyFest, Inc. is it's own entity and not part of DFA. Not coming in protest to one accomplishes nothing but hurting the other. Plus you'd miss out on a great event and good time and we'd miss out on getting to see you.
Can't wait!
not this year...too much going on, too much to do...maybe next year..
lots going on, lots to do.
Lots to learn and share at Dfest with really good trainings and networking. Lots of potential help resources to meet. Not to mention meeting new people and seeing old friends.
Understand if it's not do-able but if there's any way we'd love to have ya there :-)
- Deanfest better be planning on going CodePink on the blog killers

either of those things happen...

Going ballistic is not an effective way to come to agreement. Doing so to staffers at Dfest will be detrimental to the event and much more.
A meeting with a staffer and/or Jim where we can discuss our issues would be great. (You may recall 5 years ago there was great dissatisfaction as well -kid1 went to great lengths to get to Pittfield and I spent money I didn't have to help her be there.) A meeting took place and it never interfered with the proceedings.
just how it will work, but in addition to my guitar, I'm also bringing my Heart Tuner Gizmo with me to show off some of the research I've been doing in Cardiofeedback and Heart Wave Coherence since last year's DemFest. There won't be a formal presentation, but during the night parties folks will be able to see how it works and try Heart Dancing for themselves.
Amazing stuff.
