Letter from the MouseFest Founders

==========================================

Wow! It's already the middle of summer and just over five months to MouseFest! So much to do, so little time...

First, we are pleased that you'll be joining us. (You are coming aren't you?) MouseFest will be better than ever -- there are more communities participating, more authors and webmasters attending, and once again we're going to have a whole lot of space for everyone at Saturday's big event, the Mega Mouse Meet. Our website http://www.MouseFest.org is where you'll find the most up-to-date listing of who's attending and what's happening. You can even add your own name to the list of who's coming!

Veterans of MouseFest will be seeing a lot of familiar faces - many communities, authors, webmasters and podcasters will be back from last year. To see the current list of Who's Coming, visit http://www.mousefest.org/06attend.htm

For news on events and attendees, keep visiting http://www.MouseFest.org, and keep your eyes open for next month's edition of this newsletter!

Whether you're coming by land (so far, we've got events from December 7 through December 11), by sea on the Disney Wonder (December 3 - 7) or both... we'll see you there!
