Hmmm…sounds cool and only an hour away. Looks like I’ll have to mark it down in the ol’ calendar….
This is a fantastic line up. The more and more I hear about this, and see who’s going the more I want to attend myself. I’ve almost convinced myself the 7 hour drive is worth it.
Sadly I’ve got family in town during March, and won’t be able to break away for the event. I know most of the people on that list personally, and can assure all comers that it will be worth the drive… or the flight, for that matter.
