Hi. Do I need to preregister for this? Thanks!
No.
Can you elaborate on the sliding scale for Saturday’s workshop? Thx.
Pay what you can.
Great line up! I’d love to hear Wedleki speak.
Good mooring, yon tatters all zenly postage stump perhaps informative yet alluring…
Look forward wallowing in a rebellious scourge scarred trough with that nefarious seadog from down Seattle way tittilated to joyful tears witness the crawlspace lurch along the poetic plank with a Dodge City Pepperoni perched precariously, some manknight says jauntily askew atop a feathered thunderbolt tricorne, hauntingly munching a chew of the last critic’s pew.
The Watershed submissions page requires tending please?
No mention of accommodation options, such as billeting…
