Oops! I thought the cat was poking its head out already...(from some
obscure train discussions) so I figured it was safe. Also, Heidi at
LD was pretty sure about it in our correspondence, which added to my
confidence. :\ I waited for my ducks too - just got the confirmation
from LD yesterday - all I have left to do is buy plane tickets and get
materials together (which will have to come mid-June, because of my
travel schedule in the next couple weeks. Monday I go to Colorado and
don't get back till Fri, and then the following weekend I'm taking out
4 days to go to Brickfest in DC. So between that and spending time as
a federal employee :), I'll be really busy getting that CD done. :\
Though I am surprised someone's making the drive, talking to Mike
Poindexter not terribly long ago on the phone he was surprised someone
would drive that far in a van to bring it there.

I was told 12-15 IIRC from Mike. Oh well, the more the better. I
might have to leave earlier though to fly home - probably returning on
the 17th.

So am I. I have to finish the CD by then (mid June latest to get them
ready) and get some posters designed and models arranged, as well as
people to work with this.

That's too bad.

I'm sure there will be a lot of them, from what I know a lot of
BAYLUGers are making it, I know Tom McD is trying to (to see you and
the trains, John - not me :( well...me too, but he made that a point).
I believe Paul Gyugyi was thinking about it too...
I'm looking forward to it too! With the recent formation of LUGOLA
I'm sure we'll get a few more out there as well. Less than 2 months
to go...
