Subject: [Swlfest] Casting Call for the 2015 Winter SWL Fest
 
We invite one and all to be a part of the 2015 Winter SWL Fest on
February 27 and 28 at the Doubletree Guest Suites in fashionable
Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. (Yep, back to February... It was
in danger of melting by getting too close to the vernal equinox.)  That's
just 87 days away as I type this. 
 
As you know, one of the centerpieces of the Fest weekend is our line-
up of informative and entertaining forums.  How do we get them? These 
excellent sessions are put together and presented by you and people just
like you--people with a deep and abiding interest in radio and a 
willingness to share what they've experienced, learned and know.
 
So, how about it?  Have you a topic that you think Fest participants 
will find interesting and would be willing to present?  Tell us about it.
 
Your role will be to lead a one hour session forum.  That means 
preparing about a half-hour presentation that leaves plenty of time 
for audience questions and interaction.  It can be anything from a
straight (or comic) lecture (or both) to a multimedia extravaganza.
Your choice!
 
And as a gesture of appreciation (and perhaps some measure of small 
compensation for your efforts), the Fest will comp your registration 
fee if your proposal is accepted by the Organizing Committee (which
consists of Rich Cuff, yours truly and a covert orangutan that serves as
committee chair and expert consultant) for inclusion in the 2015 program.
 
Make your suggestion/proposal to John Figliozzi at <jfiglio1@nycap.rr.com>   
(The orangutan is far too busy with financials.) If you have any questions,
we'll be happy to discuss them with you. And even if you've never led a
forum before, don't hesitate.   We've learned that people tend to unfairly
and inaccurately minimize their  own abilities in this area.  We know you'll
be great...but you have to  let us in on what you're thinking!  We promise a
quick turnaround on  your proposal.
 
Be a part of the 2015 Winter SWL Fest program!

The one drawback to us being being famouse, Al, is being mobbed by the media at Winterfest. Sean Penn tried to warn us but did we listen? Nooooo.... We were blinded by the riches, women, and fame.

Damn those parasites known as the paparazzi!

I am certainly going! Maybe I should do a presentation on the view of shortwave radio from an 18 year old's perspective. Would you guys be interested? I host a radio show every night so I can talk for hours haha.
