It looks like I will be going to the Festival this Saturday and plan on returning on Monday. Unfortunately, I will not make it to Newport or the Sunday banquet.
I do hope to meet at least some of you there, although I am disappointed that you will not be one of them, Birdie! Don't suppose that Vlad can make it either? When I attended the Fest back in 2001 (weeks before 9/11), GingerCat and I were happy to connect with several of you. Unfortunately, this time GingerCat has family obligations Labor Day weekend and I'll be coming solo, but I guess we happybats sometimes do that.
But I have no costume - yikes! Does anyone here have a schedule of events for the weekend other than what I see in the Fest site? I'll be buying my ticket at the door.
Question no. 2: Is there anyone here driving to the Boston area on Monday? I live in Concord. Can't hurt to ask!
Hope to see many of you soon!!!
