The last couple of years, the Easter Bonnet was fantastic. There's always an extra energy that comes with a two-nights-only performance, as well as pulling eager performers out of the shadows and placing them center stage. It doesn't hurt that there's the added enthusiasm for supporting a great cause. That brings me to the answer to your second question. I always go on the second day, for Bonnet and also Gypsy of the Year. It's "closing night," plus it builds to the announcing of the winning Bonnets. Regarding seating: all seats are assigned. Hope this helps, see you Tuesday! (By the way, I have a bunch of pictures from the 2003 Gypsy of the Year competition up on the web, follow the link below and click back to December to see them.)
