Oh good grief.  Of course: _isn't_ happening.

That IS great news.  I hadn't heard of it.  And in fact I checked
the standard e-mail (finberg at mk6vx1.draper.com) announcement,
nothing there;  then Googled for NEARFest (found an entire literature
for http://www.nearfest.com/ , the "North East Art Rock Festival");
then Googled for "nearfest deerfield", got nothing at all).  Ya
gotta be a subcriber to GNHLUG to find out these things... !!
Thanks, Ed.  Something to look forward to!

Let us know if you find a URL for it?
