My registration will be posted later today. I am SO looking forward to this chance to meet some of the N.America-based Catters! Alaska Mike, are you up for some song-swapping?

a) BEGGING LIFTS : I'll be landing (BWI) at 16:15 on Friday - so should be out of the airport by 17:30 I guess - and also need to be at BWI by 18:00 on Sunday for the return flight

b) CAN ANYONE LEND A 12-string for the weekend? Otherwise I will be bringing my Yamaha. Never tried bringing an instrument on long-haul before, I confess to some trepidation about it.

Other than that - roll on October!
