We have a couch and floor space if anyone gets stuck because of the weather. Not much, but a bit. ---

A little dusting of snow is definetly not going to keep me from coming! See everyone tomorrow! ---

We’ll see how the weather is. I know I can drive on snow safely, but there’s a bunch of damn idiots out there. ---

They’re allready salted and sanded so the snow probably won’t even accumulate on the roads. ---

Looks like we might be able to make it! Directions? And confirm on other small kids? Call me nervous. ---

Nervous: Hamadryad will be here with her brood. I emailed directions once, now email me at gingerofthenorth at hotmail dot com and I will be sure to reply to the right address. ---

I’m sure that by party time the snow will be all done. Everybody had better show up because you don’t want to be poked by Ginger - she’s mean. 😃 Ginger, since you live on a little tiny street, would you please post an update tomorrow on the parking situation? Bundle Dave up and send him out to do a survey - I’m concerned that those nearby cross streets might be snow emergency routes where parking would be prohibited. I don’t mind walking a few blocks, but would like to know where to aim the van before I get close. ---

We’re still coming! Well, Dominic and I are. If I have to drive 2mph through the snow to get there, I’ll be there, dammit! I may want to leave really early to make sure I’m not late… so if I overcompensate and get there early will that be a problem? I don’t mind helping out. **nyctea** : I think if you spend the night at **Anita’s** the chances of **Edward** spending the night there will go up exponentially ;D ---

There is a small parking lot near her house. I’m not sure who owns it but I parked there last time and no one got mad at me. It was like… across the street, to the left, up a few houses, and then cut through to the right. If I remember correctly. ---

Okay, parking. If you drive up my street (it’s a one-way) and turn left at the end, you will pass our alley and RIGHT THERE on the right is a small building with a parking lot. There’s a sign on the door that says they’ve moved. Park there if you haven’t found a spot on St. Helena, West Dundalk, or even Dundalk Avenue right in front of the furniture store or the abandoned building. ---

Hey, I wasn’t Firesigning, for once - that was Dylan, with the Wilburys. But if Anita and I wanna Firesign, mere mortals aren’t gonna get in our way, so watch out! > [@](#): > > If you drive up my street (it’s a one-way) and turn left at the end, you will pass our alley and RIGHT THERE on the right is a small building with a parking lot.
