It appeared to me anyways, that you were making a good natured "ribbing" toward John, and there is no way anyone who was watching should have or could have taken it any other way but two old friends needling each other. I am not sure who took offence to it, other than someone who was telling someone else about it and no seeing the whole thing in context. I wouldn't worry to much about it, you did a fantastic job trying to bring the even to us, who could not be there. Allen did a great job filling in also. I, for one, want to thank all the effort it was for you to do what you did at the fest and the side projects- I, at least, appreciated it, and if someone got bent out of shape for you having a bit of fun with John, then they need to get a life.

I don't know if there was any offense, but he clarified after I asked him what the deal was. I was at the show, but I missed whatever inside joke started it and asked him for some details. Without seeing it in context, and just reading those words, I figured others might have been confused too. I certainly was puzzled at why the whole fest started picking on Linville ;-)

This was a weird Fest. I was there, but was learning about stuff going on by reading the CoCo list or chat room. I missed the last two years, so don't have a point of reference, but it sure seemed like a ton more happening this year than many recent ones I did get to. Very neat to see.

I would like to rig my LED sign up to the internet next time so folks in the chat room can get our attention or send messages if they need to. It might also be useful for more merchants to have the chatroom loaded so folks who cannot attend could still contact them about buying their goods.
