I'll be there! I'll have the family in tow, I'm so excited I'm having trouble sleeping, now that it's getting close.

Thursday the High is only supposed to be 57. So if the front slows down a little we might be a little cooler for Saturday.

We (cowgrrl, myself & kids) plan on being there both days.  We should be there at least most of the day Saturday, and I'll be back early Sunday for drumming.  I'll be playing on the Ivanhoe stage for the Wings of Isis & Star Dancers belly dance show again this year.  Show times at 11:30, 1:30, 3, 4 & 5:30

Ohh, I hope this is the case.  Cooler is almost always better with that many layers of fabric on.

I have some sleeves to finish up. But I think I can de done with those tonight.

Our wishes may come true! Now Saturday's high is forecast to be 74 and Sunday 72!

That's sounding better and better . . . I know that by closing weekend it will probably be hot and muggy, but I, for one, would like to "ease in" to the heat.   As it is, last Sunday felt overwarm to me (because I'm a genius and wore dark jeans and a black shirt).

Yeah, Sunday felt a little warm for me as well, and I was in shorts and a light fabric T-shirt  But I am quite warm natured...  I'm REALLY not looking forward to the heat this summer is going to be bringing, especially since my hair and beard are MUCH longer this year!

[DonaCatalina]

Many times a warm April is followed by a cooler and wetter May, at least until May 15.

Very true!  Fingers crossed that this is the case this year . . .

You might be surprised, but the beard does NOT make you hotter, and having hair on the head is a blessing, coming from someone whose bald pate has suffered sunburn in the past...

I've found quite the opposite in my experience!  Lady's LOVE the beard!

OT, remind me this weekend to tell you about the conversation I had with a Brit musician friend and I about beards. It wouldn't be appreciated here by some.

[Otwell Throckmorton]

will do!
