Where is everyone at for this stunning event.:) I know of two groups so far, Thursday evening session and both sessions on Saturday. It would be nice to meet up.

I have been checking out hotels for Saturday night...........as usual with so many people, i'm still waiting for the manager to get back to me :twisted:

Just to add to the grief, I did my back in yesterday, so things are a little doubtful. Hope the next 24 hours will show an improvement :?
