By the way, I'm trying to find my list of people who said they'd show up at the early arrival party at my place. I know I have it, but in the meantime, could people who need driving directions, etc. email me at my profile addy or at "aweber AT bernan DOT com"?
Food will be served sixish, but people can feel free to arrive any time.
As a note of interest, for those who arrive really early, there are several interesting shops in walking distance of my place if you want to get in some shopping. There's a yarn shop, quilting shop, embroidery shop, and a comic book store all in one little row (these are all open until 8pm on Thursday). There's also Appalachian Bluegrass, which has all kinds of acoustic instruments, sheet music, CDs, etc. There are also three other guitar stores in town, a brand new New Age bookshop, and a used CD and DVD store.
I'm starting to get all giddy about meeting everyone in person. I just hope I don't get one of my shy-withdrawn-antisocial attacks.
On another note, is anyone interested in doing anything in Baltimore?
