Carol, my copies of Harold and the Purple Crayon and Harold's Fairy Tale arrived last night from Amazon. Very humbling to see that I could miss so much the first time around. Good thing Alex is so much more perceptive and artistic than I.

I got a brief extension on my internet time. I'll probably be connected until later today or some time tomorrow.

Mick, meeting up in Windsor sounds like a fantastic idea. maire-aine, we would love to meet you, too.

Stephen Lee, I'm not sure how long we'll be in Wisconsin, but I don't think it's going to be long enough to get together with anyone there. Are you close enough to Chicago to come to the gathering we'll be attending in that area?

Sounds great, Pete Boom.

I'm in Chatham, Ontario (around 45 minutes east of Detroit) this Saturday for the Tartan Sertoma Highland Games (better known as, well, Chatham Games... ;-).   Detroit Highland Games are the first Saturday in August - Battlefield Band was there a couple of years ago. I won't be there, I'll be in Maxville, Ontario (go east on highway 401 - if you hit Quebec you've gone too far) for the North American Pipe Band Championsips. Then off to Scotland the next week for the World Championships.

If you're here when I get back, session? Beer fest?

Cheers -

Pete

Any time between now and July 30th (I'm out of town 30-July thru 3-Aug) or after that would be great. Len Wallace is playing at the Kildare House on 19-July and Clinton and his friends are at Kildare House on 26-July, both are Fridays. Right, CH?

Maire-anne, I think we should all meet in Windsor. That would be fun. And it would be great to see you again.

We're going off-line sometime later today and I won't be able to access the internet for a few days at least. So next time I check in will probably be some time next week.

See you all soon!

Thanks Noreen.

Clinton and hesperis, we're definitely looking forward to getting together with each of you. One of us will send PMs when we have a better idea of when we'll be in your areas.

Wonderful, Big Mick. I'll send an e-mail after we've arrived in Michigan.

We're taking our show on the road semi-permanently. Jack the Sailor has a short term (nine week) consulting contract in Dearborn, Michigan. We'll be staying in the Dearborn area until early August, and then we'll be staying in Ypsilanti until sometime in mid-September. We're leaving for Michigan this coming friday (July 11), and expect to arrive on the 13th or 14th.

In early August we'll be going to Wisconsin to pick up the travel trailer we'll be living in for a while, and we're planning on making a side trip to Chicago on the way back. We've already got a gathering in the planning stages in the Chicago area with members of the Acoustic Guitar forum. Mudcatters will be most welcome at that gathering.

While in Michigan, we'll be making a few trips up into southern Ontario. We'll definitely be spending some time in Toronto, as well as Windsor. We want to make a trip up to Orillia as well. And JtS has relatives in Welland, Bramalea, and I think somewhere near Guelph, who we'll probably be visiting at some point.

We'd love to get together with Mudcatters on this trip. If you're interested, give a holler here in this thread or by PM. We'll maintain some degree of internet connection, although I'm not sure how frequently we'll be logging on, but if you post here or send a PM, one or the other of us will get back to you.
