Aw damn, that's supposed to say the Washington IRISH festival.

So, are any Mudcatters heading to the Washington Irish Festival? I've not been before myself, but I've heard it's very good and the line-up looks awesome. It's the Saturday and Sunday of Labor Day Weekend at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. The site is here:

And there's a Pub Tent with a good roster of performers as well! Nothin' like drinking Guinness in the heat...
