[FM] Folktrain update December 2000

[Alan Rowoth]

Hey Folks!

The Annual Folk Alliance Conference is taking place in Vancouver for 
2001. A bunch of us are taking the train to and from the conference. 
Musicians, industry folks, music lovers and anyone with a love of 
trains or beautiful geography is invited to join the fun. Visit our 
page at http://www.folktrain.com for all the details.

The sleeper space on the FolkTrain *was* sold out Westbound, but VIA 
added another sleeper car this week so we have a few additional 
spaces. (some were already eaten up by folks on our waiting list.) 
Don't delay if you want to book a sleeper though. This space is 
filling up rapidly and I don't know that VIA has enough extra 
equipment to add another sleeper to our train when this one fills.

I've also updated the page with some new information and links as 
well as a link to sign up for information on FolkTrain 2002. We'll 
probably be running two Folktrains next year to the Folk Alliance 
conference in Jacksonville FL USA, one originating in Boston and 
travelling down the east coast and another down the west coast and 
thru the southern part of the US.

We have a great group signed up and are looking forward to a fabulous 
trip. I'm also excited that there will be a Folktrain showcase in 
Vancouver in the Big Orange Tarp/Folkmusic.org showcase room. Times 
TBA.

It's not too late to sign up, but it will be soon!

hope you can join us.
Alan
