For me, its a toss up between Festiv-Al and Yanko-topia!!!

It looks like I might actually be able to go to this!!!

I'm okay with the two of you working together. Aron, I'll PM you with some requests for ideas, and you can start working with Ghia and figuring out who will do what. Thank you, Ghia, for volunteering!

Festiv-AL sounds a lot like Carnival ("car-neigh-vahl")... but if you guys like it, sure. I'm just kinda ok about it.

I'm pronouncing Festiv-Al like Festive Al. Car-neigh-vahl? Who pronounces that word like that? I'm not understanding.

That's how they pronounce it. Haven't you seem that episode of The Simpsons?

No. I haven't watched the Simpsons in a long time. Only when Al's been on.

Still don't see the problem with Festiv-Al. Of course, I'm not even going, so it probably doesn't matter what I think, anyway.

The same people who pronounce squirrel, "squir-rel"

I have retracted my comment.

Looks like people in Rio pronounce it that way...

Anyway, yeah, ya'll have fun without me...*sniff*

I will try to donate something. Just gotta figure out what.
