potluck, which. it turns out, has a life of its own.
The
night before, nine bands gathered at the Corner Bar on Seven Corners
for the first-ever expansion of the Annual Battle to two days with the
inauguration of the Pancake League. The following bands were cited by
the judging team:

part to be
a good jugband citizen and bring something to nosh on for the traditional
battle potluck at the Nomad on
Saturday night and the Cabooze on Sunday afternoon - your favorite hot

what ever - elaborate or simple - it makes no difference, it's all
good!
