The Weather Is Lying
It's sunny now and we are going back out to the festival. It's back in full force with drummers on the main stage.

The Down Pours
The festival is just about cancelled because of the rain. A bunch of people are still out there but the msuic has been canceled and a lot of the vendors are packing up and leaving. :(

Another dict
Paul, might I recommend www.dict.org as an alternative to Wiktionary? It is open-source, and uses non-copyrighted dictionaries. Yes, the latest words like "chillax" might not be there, but for the older stuff, it is quite complete.

Open Source Dictionary
In an effort to keep with the comunity based media idea, I have switched the elmwoodstrip offical dictionary from the commercial dictionary.com to the open source wiktionary.org .

Wiktionary, like wikipedia, lets users define their own entries which are editable by others. There are some rules so check out the site for details. I added chillax [dict]chillax[/dict], as coined by Jesssica Ho in 1993. The definations are often different from dictionary.com e.g. geek [dict]geek[/dict] is defined how it should be and not as some circus sideshow freak that eats the heads off of chickens. Some definations are very well written. All can be very well written e.g. appearance [dict]appearance[/dict]. Test it out if you get a chance.
