I’ll give them a call in a day or so to find out how we get the group rate - if we have to buy in advance or if we can just show up en masse. ---

Well, I’ve never met any of y’all in person, but I’ve been meaning to get out to the Visionary for a while! Plus, Saturdays are my Big Day Off™ with no classes or work. I’ll tackel public transportation and see you on the 12th! ---

Glad you’re going to join us **finette6** – and, as **dances** says, we’ll be assembling from all points, someone may be able to give you a lift. I myself will be coming down 95 (oh joy). ---

> [@moi](#): > > Pencil me in, _sans_ **tdc**. Confirmation depending on my work schedule. Glad to have the opportunity to see you again, **twickster** , and looking forward to meeting you, **FCM**. I am still very disappointed that you don’t work at the Museum of Menstruation. And that we never get together aside from dopefests. I have this baby, see, and that means you never, ever have to have one. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > **finette6** – I’m not a local – is Bolton Hill near 95? or is it somewhere only a local could find? Bolton Hill is a downtown Baltimore neighbourhood. Rather near the police barracks and Howard Street bridge (those are the only landmarks I can think of - it’s around where the Light Rail curves). ---
