Yeah, sure... they hit submit on the group post before putting anything in it and then they ditched me. I had to run seven blocks before I caught up with them and then I only found them hiding behind some bushes because Ian sneezed and I can recognize his sneezes anywhere.

So it was fantastic getting to see hesperis and LH again, and it was great to meet erenle and her daughter as well. The weekend contained just the right amount of music and BS (of course), and Ian has fallen in love with Toronto. He says TO has replaced New York City as his favorite city.

The weekend before this last, we went to the Acoustic Guitar gathering in Chicago where we met John Hardly for the first time. He showed up fasionably late, so we didn't get to see very much of him, but we enjoyed his guitar playing and his singing.

We're going to try to make it to your BBQ, maire-aine, so we'll keep you posted as things shape up for us.

We'll be making more trips up into Canada while we're in Michigan. We still need to get to Windsor on a Friday or Saturday evening to catch one of Clinton's gigs and meet him, and we hope to visit Orillia at least once and maybe Toronto one or two more times before we head back.

Very, very cool, Mike. What kind of box do you have? That sounds like a great repertoire you're working on. Maybe I'll get to hear you play some day.

This on-the-road trailer lifestyle is pretty cool. We were right in the middle of the power outage but we weren't effected all that terribly much. We have a backup battery for lights and stuff, our stoves are gas powered, and our fridge automatically switches to gas if the electric goes out. It was hot here, but it wasn't anywhere near as bad in the campground as it was in most places because there's a lot of shade. Anyway, my time's running out, but I'll be back online probably tomorrow and post some more stuff.
