Mmario is leaving out the delightful hug we had and the wonderfiul conversation with him and, after the battle, Neil (Irish Sergeant). Neil was too tired after the battle to play, so we snapped a photo and left the music for another time.

Folks, there is nothing like meeting a 'Catter that I have ever experienced.

They are as wonderful in person as they are online, and MORE SO!! But it gets even better-- when you come back to the Mudcat they are as wonderful online as they were in person, and MORE SO again!

(Hi Mmario!!! Hi Irish!!!)

Hardiman and I have a plan. We are serious, so hey-- starting June 1, for the summer, our house is open. If you are passing anywhere near us, plan a few extra days with us. Summer-long porch pickin' houseparty! Spare room, our pop-up or tents, or your tent, or open air, or sling yer hammock on one of the porches-- just personal-message us for directions!

I will also post a thread for a virtual Mudcat Houseparty at Praise and Hardiman's, next week! So you can see what visiting in person might be like!
