Well, mentally I'm in Italy, but physically I'm still working my tutu off trying to get ahead of the game before I go. I don't actually get on that plane 'til Friday. And
then... business, and lawn mowing, and bill paying, and car pooling... will be the farthest thing from my mind!
As for the next GTG... I know the Houston gang is planning one in October. We don't want to compete with that. After all the great "press" this last one got I'm thinking the next one may draw the troops from around the state.

Everyone except Daniel it seems, unless he can find a ride

I'd happily offer up my studio and host it, but we would have a
huge parking problem (as my workshop attendees can attest to!)
But... not to worry... where there's a will there's a way. If everyone will chime in with some open dates I'll figure something out. Forget September! By the time I get back and caught up the month will be over!
Arrivederci!
