Chris... I KNOW. Believe me I know. John gave us the go so late in the game this year. All of the other stages have to have their lineups down by March 2nd. We need to do our best to fall in line with that. If we don't have our lineup by then, it won't be in the schedule. They'll get it online, but nobody really has the internet at Cstone. You know how annoying it is to have a printed schedule that is different from reality.
Technically... if we really had too, John has given us a deadline of the 15th. We don't want to go there because that would only put more pressure on the people doing the design work and if we were late... we'd miss the schedule all together.
Next year... I'll start riding John's case in October about this. This year though, we didn't get the go until well... when did I post the official news? We knew about it the night before.
Now... that being said... how many times have I posted about getting your demo ready early and that if cstone happened, there wouldn't be much time to accept demos. (I'm not trying to be rough on you Chris, between the CD deck issue and the laptop one... you've had the cards totally stacked against you.)
Keep in mind... this deadline is ONLY for the Barn and not the generator stage we will hopefully have. When we have confirmation on a generator, we'll start talking about that stage.
