InstallFest

[Jonathan M. Prigot]

Although I think that live music would be an interesting hook for the 'Fest, I 
suggest that we start off with recorded/streamed and see how that goes. We 
want the 'Fest to appeal to as wide a range as possible and not drive people 
away 'cause they don't like that sort of music (whatever the genre). 
Recorded/streamed would also give us control over the volume. When I'm 
helping someone, I don't want to have to have to fight the music.
