Dickens on the Strand...anyone going?

[Lord Duelist]

I haven't been to DotS in like forever, and this looks like yet another year I'll have to miss it. Hopefully next year I'll be able to make it.

Everyone that is going to Dickens, any ideas on a meeting time / place for us?  Mrs.Zardoz was down there last week, and the Treemont House as well as most of the pubs in the Strand district that one might have suggested for a meetup seem to be closed or otherwise out of action. 

Off the top of my head, and not knowing what the full entertainment schedule is, I'd say lets meet at 1 PM by the square at Strand and 23rd, where they have the opening ceremony and costume contest etc., in front of the Fuddruckers, (which I don't think is open either) on both days. what do you think?

Is anyone more familiar with the situation in that area??  Please let us know!

My Nephew's school is in the state playoffs in Football and we will be going to Waco to watch him play.
Really wanted to go this year.
