    Well I am officially bugging. I am strapped for time, and funds to get there. Anyone coming through GA to PF on Thursday night, or Friday?
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    There are a lot of Polkies I am hoping to meet in person. I am not out of the game yet, but... I am working on getting there! No family here in GA is the main killer. I have the girls Thursday. Hope to see you there Al!

    I heard Matt's taking the same road as Ringo Starr, no more autograph's because he's got too much going on and no time. ;) So don't even ask!!

    My flight leaves at 1:50 and I'm staying at the BWI Westin sharing a room with Doug (dkg999). I think RuSsman is bunking with us as well, not sure.

    I'm PUMPED to meet some Polkie's, the Polk Staff and to have some FUN!!!!!

    If I remember correctly, wasn't there someone organizing a karma to give away music? I've got some duplicate titles I wouldn't mind offering up if so.

    It's nice living so close to Bodymore. I'm leaving about 8:00 AM and that will get me there about 9:30-10:00 AM. Then when the festivities are over at 4:00, I will be back home but 6:30 at the latest unless I decide to go out somewhere.

    For me part (most?) of the fun will be to hang out with other polkies before & after the Polk tour ;)

    Nah, 'cause I'm going to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire the next day and Albanaach is playing again and they are cool on their CD's and even better live. Plus they have thick Scottish accents and roll their R's real well so it's like talking to a band full of Groundskeeper Willies!
