I don't really expect anybody to pop up and say "I 'found' your shirt, do you want it back?" However, my thought that folks at Fruvous shows are generally good people who don't take things that don't belong to them, well, that's a bit tarnished. I did get a second shirt on Saturday; my point here is that if you 'find' something at a show, please leave it where it is. Somebody will be looking for it.

Much of your airline fare goes towards fuel and in order for the company to make money, they need to raise ticket prices when fuel prices rise. On the good side, Toronto is not considered a winter destination, so discounted fares are more likely to occur the closer you get to the travel date in order to fill seats. I wish I could go, but I have to move by the first of March to Memphis, so I will be VERY busy!! I'll have to wait to hear about the fun from those of you who can go.
