The Sandrolin pre-Getaway Crab- and Music-Fest sounds like a real happening, and I'd love to be there for that. The good news is that I was able to get a RT ticket for only a few $ using my Southwest Rapid Rewards points - and that SWA lets you change your itinerary as often as you like w/o a fee, as long as they have availability for those tickets on the days you want.
The bad news is that if I were to fly into BWI any time that week, I'd probably end up arriving at about 11:30 PM. They don't seem to have any flights from PDX that would get there earlier. So if I could arrive Wed. night, to be there for the bash at Sandrolin's, I'd have to figure out how to get to Silver Spring and where to stay Wed. night (unless they let ya sleep at the airport).

Right now I'm booked to fly into NC and plan to ride up from there, which is cool. I just wish there was a way to be in two places at the same time.

Anyways I'm really looking forward to seeing the Getawat 'old timers' and meeting some of you 'Catters who weren't there in 2008. I might even have to buy a floozie dress fer Bobert's Blues hoedown. (Or is that "ho down?")
