> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Will you be emailing or PMing an address/directions? Yes, please do. Also, just thought I’d throw this out there: if anyone still needs a ride, I’m in the Rockville area, near the Metro red line. It’s actually pretty convenient for anyone flying into National - just one changeover. PM me if you’re interested. ETA: Thanks again for doing this, **ThreadPirate**. You guys are awesome. ---

Guys, again: If I can help monetarily, let me know, and I’ll PayPal some money for y’all to help with expenses, since I can’t be there. Quasi ---

Well, given the hideous complexity of my current life, I am unlikely to be able to make homemade pulled chicken barbeque or coleslaw within a reasonably short time before hand. Rather than risk salmonella, or such, I am going to have to buy something. I am sorry. Multigrain bread rounds and a suitable sandwich substance would be fairly easy to come by. I can bring alfalfa sprouts, too. (I actually grow my own.) (Wholey Guacamole?) Tris ---

I am going to email the address out as soon as I get the chance. **Quasimodem** I talked to my dad and he gave me a weird non commital answer when I asked about paypal info, I’m working on it ---

That’s fine my friend, if y’all don’t need it, then that’s fine. I just feel so helpless because I can’t be there to honor this wonderful woman and I wanted to particpate in any small way I could. If nothing else, could I call y’all up and just say “hello”? It’s okay if it goes to voice mail, just so someone knows I’m thinking about you and what a great thing you’re doing for **Norine**. Thanks Q ---

Those needing directions can email me, Thread Pirate Roberts might be intermittently unavailable. PM here can work, but is less reliable. My email is available on my profile. Tris ---

I need to convey my regrets. VWife is having surgery (relatively minor) on Wednesday, and she’s playing the helpless patient guilt card on me. ---

Can’t you bring the sprog along? After all, he’s a part of history. He’s the first Doper child. ---

\*\*gardentraveler \*\*and I are working out our details for Saturday - I may be playing tour guide for her that morning before we head to the fest. So far, nice weather still seems to be holding. Fingers crossed!!! ---

I’m going to need an address PMed or emailed to me. We should be able to GPS our way there without actual directions as long as I know the address.
