I'm working on the itinerary for The Gathering.

I want to nip 'Bearfest' in the bud. The 5 or 6 events will be part of the larger festival, The Gathering.

Bearfest could be mistaken for being a part of the gay pride festival the prior week. While I'm considering setting up a booth at the pride fest, I'd like to keep the two events seperate.

All of the events will be taking place in the first two weeks of August, 2005.
