    Sadly I as much as would really like to go to this I have had some major changes here at home that have to do with my mother suffering from Alzheimer’s/Dementia and the need to pull her out of the care facility she was in, long story..

    But she is now back with me and it will not be possible to leave at this time

    Dang it I was really looking forward to meeting everyone and see some major benching

    WOOT!! I can get off work next friday!! I'll be leaving at noon or so which should put me out there around 9-10PM...around the same time that Dave is arriving. Are we meeting at the Deep on Friday?

    @Buckeye - man, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. My grammy had the same thing and had to stay with my mom for the last year or so til she passed.

    This is shaping up to be a great event already, and to think all Shamino had to do was post a random invite on XS. Way to go guys. Hopefully there be ln2 left in the D after you're all done.
