Sorry I've been away from the computer for a coupla days. Polled the crew Friday night at The Press Room and the preferred date is...

The envelope please...

Sunday, May 27th, starting at noon (unless the Portland Shanty Sing Convoy arrives earlier! what a concept!). We are conveniently located in the middle of the woods between Rte. 4 and Rte. 152 about midway between Portsmouth and Concord, NH. I'll post specific directions closer to party time.

The drill is bring voices, instruments, good spirits, food to share, drinkables, bug stuff (the blackflies just arrived yesterday), and a chair may be useful as well. (We've got chairs, but there never seems to be enough.) Mortimer, the cat about the place, prefers dogs be left at home. I don't know where we're going to stow the kittens for the day; they can't go outside cuz, oh it's a long story.

And the ladyslippers surrounded by star flowers and false lily of the valley should be in bloom. Hope the weather cooperates!
