Could you add me to the distribution list and chalk me up as "tentative" for Saturday? I'll most likely have family obligations, but if they fall through I might be able to check things out. If I am able to go, I doubt I'd be able to stay for the lunch afterwards.

Hi there. I just sent you a private message. Scroll up to the top of the Web page, check the upper right side of the display, you should find a "private message" link right under the search box. Then you'll easily find your way, I'm sure.

If you didn't get an e-mail from me, this means that I don't have your e-mail address... Please contact me by private message then (e.g. boglebenboston, Middyjump and meso123). Thanks!
