The basic deal is all performers are required to buy the three day ticket
for the weekend and they don't get paid. According to the folks I talked
to this is to help them break even and also to create
participation/community/what have you. There are a few headline artists
who were sponsored. You also can buy a ticket for 1,2 or all three days
plus there are jam sessions if you aren't actually performing.

Whatever you may think of the live policy many of the folks there enjoy
both the seminars and concerts. It seems a bit preaching to the converted
but then again, what are these lists? :)

Check out the daily schedules and if there is something of interest give
it a shot. Previous years have had Nord modular and circuit bending
sessions which seemed pretty cool.
