I wish Thomas would plan a show in Florida. My wifes job potential in Virginia fell through (they didnt get the contract). So now I am stuck figuring out a way financially to get to one of the shows. Virginia is the closest physically, but I think we may be trying to go to the show in New York. Anyone else in the New York area going to that show?

Bummer!!! :-( I hope you're able to figure out a way to fly north (as it were) - no matter what show you attend, I'm sure you're going to have an amazing time! Who will be in NYC? NYC was going to be a huge financial stretch for me, and now, the three dates locally here in Maryland/Virginia, I think I'll be very contented here at home. Best of luck in working out the logistics/moolah/everything!! Melissa http://merujo.blogspot.com Russell Milliner wrote: I wish Thomas would plan a show in Florida.
