This is a much anticipated weekend!  You won't be able to swing a cat without hitting a pirate in Port Washington this weekend.  I'm looking forward to escaping to this hysterically fun event.  We have just one more performance weekend (at Bristol) before our big deal trip to Germany.  I need to write the press release for that trip that includes all of the details about our Operation Share the Shanties.  When we're in Germany we'll not only be representing the US at the international shanty music festival (Festival Maritim) in Bremen, Germany, but we'll also be visiting our wounded soldiers at the largest American military hospital in Europe (Landstuhl) and entertaining military members and their families at Spangdahlem Air Base.  We set up a program where people can sponsor the gift of a special CD we put together; you can send a personal message in with the CD and we'll hand deliver it to the troops that we visit.  I'm very proud of this project and we've all worked very hard (especially Krivitzky) to put this all together.  For more details on this whole event, please see http://deport.boundingmain.com.   

So, this is going to be a fun, fun, fun weekend with friends old and new and no responsibilities beyond putting on good shows!  Excellent!

Okay, back to beddie-bye.
