The following message was posted to: dance-tech Dear Merilyn, I wonder where you are located. I did try to find local PA press who might come to this and even fedexed CD-ROMs to half a dozen people trying to drum up some interest. We would love to have you come and to have contact information for future events. It didn't occur to me that there were members of the press on this list serve. best jamie jewett www.lostwax.org --- Merilyn Jackson <merilynj@worldnet.att.net> wrote: > The following message was posted to: dance-tech > > Gee, This looks really interesting.
