Out in the open

The first of the final announcements was made at the worst possible time on Friday night and until about 6 hours before it was, I never believed this would happen.

Aside from my mum., (and even she got a kick at the dinner table when we bumped into someone who worked for event) I hadn't really been able to talk about this with people.

The staff here were all expecting that this was the last year and your efforts do change as a result of that - not necessarily less effort, but small things for example, making sure everyone has the chance to go and see a stage for the last time.

And now, we have it for one more year. Which is of course great but opens up a new can of worms. What happens after 2007 for starters? And for me, who had discussions with the alternative 2006 organisers, this is like winning and losing a job all in one announcment. So, confused "where to from here" thoughts to follow.
