Hey gang!

I'm back! I'm getting settled in and I know I've been remiss about keeping up here.

For inquiring minds, Polkfest is a go for Oct. Which weekend is subject for debate....

Location. I can do this in either Fayetteville NC or Charleston SC.

So, I'm looking for inputs....where would you rather go? I'm still on the fence so I need your input. What's easier for you all?

    Make sure it has a magic bar.

    Only one hour difference between the two locations; no preference here.

    Either place is OK by me...whatever works for you. The first or second weekend (3rd or 10th) would be my preference.

    I'm in no matter the location........if I was water boarded into a choice I'd say SC. Mostly because I've heard good things about SC beaches.

    Put my vote in the NC column as it's more centrally located.

    Just bring your VPI cleaner and take care of that problem. Piece of cake.

    Not that I should hold sway as to what weekend Polkfest is, but if you could avoid the first weekend (10/4/09) that would be sweet. I'm going to New Orleans that weekend for the Jets game.

    if it's not possible, thats more than cool. Just figured i'd throw it out there.
