-{\bf Warning:} This draft is draftier than you might expect.
-More specifically,
-\begin{itemize}
-\item Some sections are missing.
-\item Many sections are incomplete.
-In most cases the incompleteness is noted, but occasionally it isn't.
-\item Some sections were written nearly two years ago, and are now outdated.
-\item There are not yet enough citations to similar work of other people.
-\end{itemize}
-Despite all this, there's probably enough decipherable material
-here to interest the motivated reader.
-On the other hand, if you are only going to read this paper once,
-{\bf then don't read this version,} as a more complete version will be available in a couple of months.

-\nn{To do: remark on the case of a nontrivial fiber bundle.  
-I can think of two approaches.
-In the first (slick but maybe a little too tautological), we generalize the 
-notion of an $n$-category to an $n$-category {\it over a space $B$}.
-(Should be able to find precedent for this in a paper of PT.
-This idea came up in a conversation with him, so maybe should site him.)
-In this generalization, we replace the categories of balls with the categories 
-of balls equipped with maps to $B$.
-A fiber bundle $F\to E\to B$ gives an example of such an $n$-category:
-assign to $p:D\to B$ the blob complex $\bc_*(p^*(E))$.
-We can do the colimit thing over $B$ with coefficients in a n-cat-over-B.
