I appreciate that the fest is usually held at Ernst, however the dates
that we are looking into are starting to wind up in the colder October
nights. I remember two years ago at the Ernst fest it got really cold
as the night went on, and it seemed to put a damper on the crowd and
the bands. I personally believe Alex is a horrible venue to play in and
would really like to push the intimacy of the Western Lodge.

As for the charity, Robyn suggested finding some others. I suggested
SSE because October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it
seemed fitting. We don't have to change it, but the option is there.
