I don't think I'll make it, though I had considered it, living only 20 minutes away now! Our car is in the repair shop with a bum starter, so even my plan to have my husband drive me in for the day Saturday won't happen...I came just for the day with a friend last year and we had fun, exhausted by 5 pm by the heat (forgot to get our refund though for leaving before the evening festivities). Hearing and meeting Elizabeth Laprelle was worth every penny of that day pass. (Thanks again to Barrry Finn for recommending her.)

If any old pals want to drive to Albany for a shower, though, (or to kidnap me) let me know. Email me at amberapple at gmail dot com, or call me at 518-322-1909.

Have fun! Hope to make it next year.
