P.S. I'm working on moving the Ear Shot galleries to Flickr (and/or maybe YouTube for the videos). I'll try to retain the old links in some friendly way, but there may be some oddities while I'm developing that.
Some of you know Robert Duffy/Donewaiting and I/Cringe have run the band merch booth at Comfest for the past few years. Duffy and I also work on the Wexner site together. I do the core backend programing and he does the regular content updates. Well, Friday at Comfest Duffy shared that he is leaving Wexner and Ohio for a similar web content position in New York City in about 1 month. This move will put him closer to his hame and family in New Jersey. Donewaiting will remain with Joel Oliphint taking over as the Columbus editor while Duffy focuses on the site in general as he always has. I'm sure there will be some going away events posted over on Donewaiting.

Speaking of tweets and adding things as they come up ... Tim Easton just tweeted me that he's doing a last minute Comfest performance at the Bozo Stage 5pm Saturday. Here's a similar unscheduled Tim Easton performance from a couple years ago at the Offramp stage:

This is kinda my Comfest catch all ... it may get updated during the fest as I have time and things to add.
NO BYOB
First, Comfest is seriously cracking down on BYOB this year. In other words, don't bring your own alcohol. Also do not bring any glass containers into the park. It's more about reducing garbage and general safety. But it also happens to be illegal to BYOB. The Comfest liquor permit does not cover you bringing your own alcohol. Additionally it cuts into a main source of Comfest's income which funds not just Comfest but other community organizations.
MOBILE CALENDARS
I've posted what I consider an easier to use Comfest schedule over on the Cringe mobile site. Also the regular weekly Live Show Calendar for the weekend will soon be updated there for your post- and non- Comfest live show ventures.
For the curious, you can view and print that mobile site through a regular ol' browser too: http://mobile.cringe.com/
BAND CDs/MERCH BOOTH
Donewaiting and Cringe are running the band merch booth again this year. It's the same basic place as always or just look for "BAND CDs" on the official Comfest map. I'll be there much of the weekend.
TWEET TWEET
Last year I don't think our Twitter or text messaging outlets got much usage at Comfest. Maybe this year will be different. Comfest itself (@ComFest) has been using Twitter quite a bit this year. I'll be watching my tweets (@cringe) via my cell phone. Feel free to follow or tweet me @cringe. Also try adding #comfest to the end of your tweets so we can all track what we might be missing.
