kiiyaaniiasdzaa, thanks for the info ... I was talking with the coordinator yesterday, but the person with the soft-copy of the flier was not available to send one out to me, but you are closer to them than I am anyways.

[xTekno]

Eleven weekends on this one ... same weekend when my son comes home from Afghanistan!

[ak_from_dine_nation]

Just a 40 min drive i'll be there.

[xTekno]

Had to turn down the committee for sound system support: I can't be in two places at once. My son is flying in on April 14th at Sky Harbor and the McGee Park Veterans Memorial Coliseum is 400 miles away!

[xTekno]

Same weekend as San Diego State University Contest Powwow, but with rising fuel costs, Apple Blossom is within a few hours drive on April 15th.
