Hi everyone,Well you might have heard already about the floods in Jakarta this weekend. Therains started Thursday night and by Friday morning, school was closed becausethe streets were so badly flooded. We went ahead with our performances but theinternet was down at school and in most of Jakarta until Sunday afternoon. Weplan to edit a video of the fest and stream it at a later date. We'll let youknow when that is, and you can tune in whenever you want to. We had a greattime. Big audiences, despite the rain, and everyone sang really well.LarryPS: Well the flood waters have receded, internet is back up at JIS and the ACappellafest video is edited. So you can watch it now at your leisure! Just go here mms://10.1.3.66/afest07 and you can see the whole show. This was our Saturday night performance. It went really well.
