SORRY. We are full. Registration for this event ended Friday, Nov. 20. Do you have your tickets? Click here for ticket info/outlets The below named have chosen to subject themselves to either deafening applause or snakelike hisses from an audience of 300 Zimmermaniacs, folks who are serious about their Dylan. Why these Bobs-in-Waiting want to appear, alone, on stage is anyone's guess. Some are returning contestants who are hoping this will be their year to be crowned King of The Bobs. Some are drawn to the event like moths to a flame, caring not that their wings could be scorched or burned off completely.
