Probably. Especially since the Baltimore Comic-Con is this weekend. And then there's the Poe stuff.
So, yeah. I would recommend spending the weekend in a bunker.
I have an appointment in Ellicott City at noon. Not sure how I'm going to get west of the route (course actually runs right by me, up to the lake I go to.)
