Sorry, I've been tied up with other things... When I got to The Press Room on Saturday, the place was packed with marchers from the earlier Women's March in Market Square -- listening to the jazz that entertain lunchers before the 3:30 start of the shanty sing. And, yes, we did have to wrap early because of the Shakespearean event upstairs. The general manager had messaged me, but I received no response to my query as to whether we could co-exist or whether we'd need to shut down early. My mistake -- I should have pursued that answer so I could have let everyone know. I apologize. (I also thought I'd posted it here earlier, but evidently I didn't -- again, I'm sorry.) Our crew Saturday was The crew was me (Linn Schulz, nom de Mudcat Bat Goddess), Susan Young, Dianne Lavoie, Bill & Gina Dunlap, Don & Cathy Hale, Nicole Hourihane, April & Eric P., Gail & Jim Finn, Chris Vaughan, Ranger1, Bill Lehrman & Carol Pierson, Erin Hathway Weaver, Jean Pauly, Alan Eaton, Justine Donovan, Neme, Bruce MacIntyre, Jeff Warner, Rita Pomerleau... We had a new server, Brendan, who was, I think, a bit overwhelmed initially because of the huge crowd after the march and then we poured in on him. 1. Ten Stone - Linn 2.
