Now that it is only a few weeks out that this was uncovered and it's the week of Easter, airfare is prohibitively expen$ive

[Tamadude]

SpecA! I can't see you missing out on this. Am I right??

No better entertainment than a room full of STEWART!

[luna_virgo]

Ah hell, that's only two weeks away. I'd be up for another long drive, but not sure if I can get time off work and a hotel on short notice. Hmmm, maybe.

[samburusunset]

I think Jamal Mohamed is in D'Drum.

[thedaner]

Jamal is in D'Drum, that is correct.

[luna_virgo]

I will be there.

I got the week off from work, so I can attend the percussion performance and Stewart's talk. Another really long drive there and back, but no blizzard this time, so I'll get to do the sightseeing I missed last year.

Is anyone else going?

My friend Rhonda/REudaly lives in the area and reserved tickets...some of you met her in Dallas back in '07 so I expect full reports back!

[luddite lady]

Excellent, Gina! So wish I could be there again with you, but given the short notice, there is no way I can take another flight of fancy to Dallas. I'll have to be content with living vicariously through you. I expect a full report! Who's gonna join luna? Thedaner?

[DirtyMartini]

Have a great time, Luna!

Daner and Spec, think you'll make it? (I realize it's a bit of a drive for you, Spec.)

[Spec A!]

It's official- Going.
