Great!  Looking forward to seeing you!  As you already know, Brahim and 
Dahoud and Da Crew will be here WITH the kitchen they'd planned for GF - so 
there'll be plenty of food available (at a reasonable price) for those 
wishing to partake of the usual awesome fare!!   The Pirate Party will 
happen after all!   Folks are welcome to start arriving Thursday - several 
are already planning to.   Our merchants from An Tir will definitely be here 
as well, (arriving Thursday).   If anyone needs directions, I'll be putting 
something out on the Aerie here directly.  (Or, I believe the original msg 
is at the bottom of this)
