Random Girl, how will we recognize you?  Will you have your R/F pin on?  I understand you have a mohawk, and like getting hugs; well, I like GIVING hugs!  I hope to see you on Saturday!  Look for the blue fuzzy hat.

Getting in tonight.  Leaving KC btwn Noon and 1.  Staying with Joe and Michelle in Maple Grove tonight.  Coming out for pre-cannon in the morning, and then checking into Chaska (somehow) that day (Joe and Michelle say they have it covered).  Whee!  Opening day!

Butch-

Its likely no one will see me this weekend due to my crappy scheduling. But normally people recognize me due to me wearing the costume in my profile pic. I won't have my mohawk up but its obvious that is my hairstyle.

I am going to wait to post the third weekend forecast if only because as of right now it's going to be dreadfully hot and disgusting and I'm sincerely hoping that changes throughout the week.

Agreed.  After getting sick from the heat, I have had it.  Perhaps we can will it away?!

is it too early to say it seems to be working?  mid-80s and partly cloudy is tolerable.

I was hoping it would stay cooler...I was looking forward to wearing my velvet again. Oh well, 80 is nice too and far preferable to 90.

On the upside, though- my lips and skin were very nicely exfoliated by the end of Sat.  =)
