Shakeen - No idea about the traffic in Berkeley. Only have good experience of taking nice, clean and reliable BART all around the Bay Area. But, will leave Biswo's comment as answer to you. Aafno Manche - Saw Mausami Gurung's name as one of the performers on ANA's web site but her name's not there anymore -http://www.ana-convention.org/2007/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=132&Itemid=216 When told I did see her name there she was quite taken aback not knowing how it got there. Besides, there are so many artists performing that night I personally don't think it'll do justice to any artists with the limited time they'll have to perform - and that too if they don't stick to Nepali Standard time. MAKURAMANCHE - Your's was the only video from last night's event in NY on youtube. At least got a snippet of it. I was hoping to see a clip or two from Moktan digital, the official videographer of last night's Motherland Night.
