Comment by The Canterbury's on June 9, 2011 at 1:19pm: Are there any spots with electricity?

Comment by westywoman (Melissa) on June 9, 2011 at 2:19pm: There are no electrical hookups at Hallsted at this time. Probably not even a bathroom receptacle as the bathrooms are closed and we'll be using portable toilets this weekend.

Comment by John LaTorre on June 10, 2011 at 11:21am: I'll be on the road in an hour. Should be there by 3 or 4.

Comment by Blake on June 10, 2011 at 11:23am: Can you hear that???? It sounds like a train is coming! A train of busses and vanagons headed to TRAIN SPOTTING 3!

Comment by John LaTorre on June 10, 2011 at 11:28am: I forgot to add that I'll be contributing some pasta with pesto to the potluck.

Comment by Swiftriver on June 10, 2011 at 1:43pm: Google doc locked up on me.... I'll bring my infamous garlic bread (if I don't forget it again... Don't worry, it isn't the same one I forgot to bring to bus city.) I may also bring shiesh-kabobs if Quincy Safeway has good ones.

My Quincy short-cut is still snowed in.... I'll be going the long way and rollin' in from the East by evening.
