Bob & Sue -- thanks so much for your good wishes. I have a feeling the trip home will be more "interesting" than the trip here was, but then again, it probably won't be as bad as it was for those unfortunate folks who were traveling on the day of the arrests...

maire-aine, was wondering what happened to you (as well as looking forward to meeting you... maybe next time?).

If I get a chance to attend again, I certainly will -- it was great fun! Pleasure to meet you, Clinton. I thought you
& Dan & Andrea put out some fine music together. The pub really *is* lovely and the food *is* excellent; my (English) husband was most impressed with it ("The first *proper* pub I've been to this side of the pond," he said.) I practically had to drag him out of the place (don't feel *too* sorry for him, guys -- it *was* nearly an hour after closing time...)

Hope to do it again next time I'm in the neighbourhood!
