I am so sorry that I won't be able to be there on Friday, I've just started a new job and I'll be at work until 9pm that night (I live in Portland). I think another NW gathering is definitely a good idea, I'm really unhappy that I have to miss this one because I think it's amazing to actually meet Mudcatters in the flesh, and because IMO singing and playing music together is what it's all about.
