Er.. Mitch, he may well organize a FOLK room, but unless he's changed
dramatically you're still going to need someone to organize the filking.  He'd
be more likely to ban it. :->

That said, good luck in getting sponsors because by all accounts he's a good
person to have at a convention.  I just wish *I* could afford to come to the
thing myself....
