Re: circle size -- if it's too big for bardic then it's Too Damn Big, period[1]. Whoever it was suggesting chaos (I wasn't there) should have been sat on immediately, because what they are saying amounts to "I want to perform more often than is a reasonable share". If a circle is too big for your liking, go somewhere else (possibly put a suggestion, "is anyone interested in setting up a chaos circle?".
I agree that any change in format should either be unanimous or should allow sufficient time for people to adjust. From bardic then one full circle is reasonable, from chaos to bardic is not so easy to limit but number of songs equal to number of performers might be reasonable.
(And I did get to hear you do "Centipede Questions", which was good. I missed all the others, apologies to them...)
[1] Of course, if it's too big for chaos then it's also Too Damn Big for bardic. What both mean is "we have to wait too long before we get to perform", and neither form is any better at handling that. The only solution is to split the circle so that those who don't like waiting as long can form their own smaller one.
