Well, as it turns out, I don't know how much time for extra activities we'll have - especially evening ones. Losing two days of our time out there is a real blow - thank goodness I didn't miss a gig!

On the bright side, the travel vouchers will pay for 2/3 of our trip to Oregon this summer....

Joe, I think you would enjoy The Gathering - seems up your alley.

I should clarify, for those who aren't familiar with UUism that we're not talking about a revival meeting here (or, conversely, a new age ceremony). This particular piece ideally should function as well in a secular setting as a religious one. It's meant to bridge the gap between music and message, between the sacred and secular. Ho well it succeeds we'll have to see. We're still in the "dry run" stage with it.
