Denis, you are correct that what I am hoping to do by keeping Paul's "little" campout is going to be an uphill battle. I also think Paul did a better job by himself than even a few people can do together. It pains me to think about all the shows and other events that have ended, that list to include Eureka Springs after this month, so much that I am willing to step up and try to offer an alternative to sitting at home on the second weekend of October next year. I am sure that what ever name we decide on, will not be up to the level of Paul Smith, and my plan is not to replace T@P, but to do something in the same spirit and idea.
