Hi folks
My (wife's) baby nephew's getting married somewhere in or around the San Francisco area (could be Oakland or Berkley) on this June 2. So our family (wife & 2 kids) is getting ready to go out there for at least a week. We're not sure about weither it'll be the week before or the week following the wedding. So if any of you out that way know of any folk music seesions or sings or music parties or folk music festivals (concerts probably won't influence us) happening the week/end before June 2 or the week/end after, it would greatly help in our discussions about which week would be our best choice.
I do know about some of the sessions like the Starry Plough & the Plough (not sure about their times & days though) but don't know about others & my ex-brother-in-law Bob (the groom's dad, who'll be there too) moved so he's hasn't been playing the sessions as of late(though I'm sure he's more updated & informed than I, he's also not much into sing/song) either. The date of the Hyde St Shanty Sing, if there'll be one around that time would be good to know, that would carry alot of influence in when we'd go.

I'd also love to see & meet any mudcatters while I'm there too, espically old friends, in some cases way to many years. I hope to hear from & see all of you.

Well I'm very excited about my nephew Eoin's wedding & getting to meet his bride to be & in seeing old friends. I always loved the area too, it could almost be home if it weren't for my wife's fear of losing me to the ocean, I drown easily, fall down & off boats often & without problems too.

Thanks in advance, see ya all soon
Barry
