Bill, we noted it (gladly). We want to hear that you went. (We is Elaine and C.I.) Members remember that as the weekend progresses, time's going to be limited on my end, so I will probably be only checking the private e-mail address if things get really hectic. (Elaine says if you're participating in events this weekend be sure to read this.)

The public e-mail address is common_ills@yahoo.com.
