Joe,

There is a place in Manayunk (near our store) that is supposed to be a great cycling store, although not a vintage place. I've never been in it, but have passed it:

I love Nora the Piano Playing Cat. If my cat were not fixed, I would introduce them and hope for piano playing kittens.

I am still in a family situation where any travel has to be last-minute. But I'm still thinking of coming, if I can. It looks like MS and SM are out. Frowner But maybe I can drag Muffin. Maybe if there's a field trip to visit Nora...

I hope you can make it, Ma'am. It's always a pleasure to see you.

For a variety of reasons, I will be the only member of the clan attending after all. My flight is booked, and I'll arrive in Philly at 8:03pm on the 28th, and head back for Sandy Eggo at 2:40pm on the 31st.

Could someone please PM me about what kind of accommodations there are around there? And what's the schedule for the weekend? Is there anything planned for Saturday morning?

TIA ...

Is it okay if I come? I rather like these get-togethers. Maybe there's a cardboard box under a bridge I could get for cheap. maybe trade someone for some lottery tickets or something?

I have to check with my ex. Maybe the kids and I could drive down ...

Rach on!
Big John and I are willing to make the trek though we might not stay all three days. However, we'll know for sure after this weekend.

I guess it's time to limber up those fingers!

yeah I'm working kaori's ( a fellow student) sibelius piece but don't know if I'll get it in time up to tempo but I'm working on it a little each day. It's so beautiful -- and coming from a composer who hated the piano no less.

I was talking with Rich G about this event yesterday, and he asked if I'd bring my cello and play. I'm willing to do that if any pianists are interested in committing to play something with me. Do you have any favorite cello-piano pieces? I've got lots of music, some of it even sight-readable.

The reason I ask is because I'd rather not have to babysit the cello all weekend (you can't just sling it into your back pocket to tote it around) unless at least one person is really interested. I'm not so into playing the cello by myself at a piano-centric get together.

Just say the word . . .

i don't know about the cello logistics problem, but I'd certainly be willing to attempt to accompany you.

Does anyone have an itinerary planned out?

Is everything going to be champagne tastes? Because I might need to rob a bank if that's the case.

Ax -- message received. I'll take a look at it.

Big John -- I bet you could do some jazz standards . . .
