Wow, not a lot of notice huh? I would have liked to go, but two days notice isn’t much to arrange hotel, sitters, etc...
When was this set up?
No Clue. First I heard about it was yesterday. I had the same thoughts you did. I posted it anyway because I thought, what the heck, if anybody lives within a couple hours drive they may be able to attend.
