Plans are coming together....

Some updates:

I have unexpectedly had two very small kids here full time for the last month, seriously attritting my prep time, but mi casa su casa, and we will have plenty of room for everyone indoors if it's too cold to sleep out. I am ready for some grownup time! Please come! *G*

There has been some talk of running the PortaStudio during some of the songswapping, or maybe setting it up for some serious track-catching. (Mudcat CD?)

There has been some talk about audiocasting live, via PalTalk, for some of the event.

There will be some extra inflatable beds coming if these are needed. But bring sleeping bags and pillows!

A road trip I had anticipated immediately following (or even DURING!) the Gathering has been postponed, so I am more mentally relaxed about this. I had been waiting to hear about my son's Navy leave, because right after we picked this date for the Gathering, he announced I could see him in Chicago anytime between APril 26 and May 9. (I have not seen him for several years.) First he thought his leave would be shortened, so I was going to leave you all in Hardi, Mmario & Dharmabum's hands, or at the least leave the Sunday AM of the Gathering to head west-- but his leave has been canceled. :~(

I was pretty sick last year, and I am much better now. I think that if you were here last year you will see some big changes in how much I participate.

It's been 20 degrees at night lately. But there is plenty of room indoors. If you need a real bed, let me know right away so I can plan accordingly.

Hardi has been on a cleaning kick. God help us all! *G*

WISH LIST:

Facilities for this and upcoming gatherings here would be greatly improved if you are interested in getting rid of any of the following:

Metal-frame hollywood bed frames
Futon frame
Pillows! Always pillows!
Clean room-size rugs, any old weird colors you are tired of!
