I'm bookmarking as well. I'll sit down and read as much as I need to tonight and then decide.

Well not that its any big deal to leave out a 'probably not', I did get left out.
I'm trying to egg on Ticomaya by offering him a cigar made by a Cuban family in Florida. Will it work?

Okay that's it. I'm officially a non person. Oh well. Anonymity is coveted in some circles.
What? You're a person, you're a person!
I know a few people who seem to be in the wrong categories (or as you, dissolved in space) but figure people will speak up for themselves.
Are you coming after all, Foxfyre? (crossing fingers)
Or are you still a "Probably Not"?
Sorry, I had dropped the list in without looking, after editing its version on the other thread. So here's the special, "Foxfyre is a person" issue:

I'll be out of town until May 2nd. Feel free to update this post with any changes and/or additions.
Aw thanks guys. It feels good to be loved.
I would very much like to be there and at one point thought it might be possible on a scheduled trip to Canton, but since that trip has been postponed I am still a 'probably not'.
I do want a full report though.
Now that its been accepted Foxfyre well may be an actual person, perhaps we should explore why it might be that devriesj apparently manifests as 2 persons:

There could be some deep philosophic implications here - and some confusion when it comes to settling up the bar tab
Plus, isn't Wandeljw definite for Sunday?
I would be bowled over if Diane and Dys opt to get tickets at the last minute despite comments to me about not making it...
Didn't Heph say she can't make it?
Dag is busy onstage...
I think there still may be some last week Yesses and am zoning in my powerful vibes as I type.
osso, I hope your vibes are in tune - correctly.
Me too. I just sent some to Gus... we'll see what good that'll do, she says, twitching her ears.
osso,
I hope to be there Sunday and I want to come early to help sublime set up. Thomas is correct to keep me in the probably category. That weekend we are celebrating my mother's birthday. One of my brothers is flying in from out of state. Still, I want to spend a few hours with the A2Kers.
It would be lovely if even more people came, but it looks to me like we have quite enough already for a great gathering. Those who have already committed are more than enough to make it worth the expense to me.
Besides...if there are too many people, I won't get to talk to everyone.
(Just the facts)
Now set in stone: At the very least, O'bill, Walter, Brooklyn, C.I., RJB, Thomas, Mac11, Eva, Osso and Joe will be at
Duke of Perth at 6:30 on Friday, May 5th! We'll be enjoying a Fish Fry and drinks. All are welcome. Did I miss anyone?[/quote]
What about Thomas and the Yitwails? Won't they be in town in time to meet us at Duke of Perth?
Also...what about some of the locals. Smog, wandeljw, J_B and sublime? Are any of them free Friday night?
Haven't seen them commit to it yet, have you?
I think sublime said he'd be free late Friday night, but as for the rest...I was hoping my post would help draw their attention.
