Just a footnote to add here and this is not intended to rain on the parade but a word of caution regarding personal belongings especially musical instruments. PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT THIEVES are active around large events such as this upcoming one and many of us arrive in town, instruments in tow. It would be wise to not let your gear stray too far from eyesight during the festivities. Gord would know about this having had one of his B45's stolen once. It's happened to many musicians. Also most hotel rooms are built to contain water up to a certain height on the floor to prevent flooding to lower floors so it's best to keep stuff on shelves etc. just in case. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again and meeting new friends. Cheers, Ron J.
