Thanks for the heads up. In that case I will probably head to F'town, where Dennis said he would be. It's not just the view-mooching motivation: it gets...

Due to an unforeseen circumstances my wife can't make it to SSP this year. I have a fully-paid adult registration that I am willing to part with for $30. If...
