AETHERPHON, global theremin family

Ah, but Gordon, you've done this before. :-)

What I would ask of you is to write me up an accounting of how you 
planned the Hands Off festivals.  What planning was required?  What 
activities did you schedule?  What setup was required?  How did you get 
the venue?  Etc.  You can probably help me more than most people.
