I think it was a combo graduation/18th b-day/university-going send-off party. Playing on the CD player, at some point: DMB -- Recently Paul Simon -- Graceland Bob Dylan -- Blood On The Tracks(I'm pretty sure) and, for sure: Moxy Früvous -- Bargainville. I was singing along, and ppl were like "huh? he knows this stuff?" Host is a Früfan. 2 of the attendees will attend U of Rochester. 1 will be at U of Toronto...Just thought I'd share.

I think this is pretty crazy, but not as crazy as the concept of me driving in D.C.! I am already encouraged to hear that we will not be alone. Any ideas for banding together for the trip from Borders-1 to Borders-2 ? Also, the next-to-last train for us leaves Union Station at 7 p.m. Any other out-of-townwers planning to duck out of the second show and speed back to Union Station? I do not want to take a chance and wait for the very last train, as the web site says not all trains run every time, i.e. what if the very last one gets cancelled and we are stranded?
