Hi Friends,

I know many of you are about to head off to this year's Blade gathering in Hotlanta. I wish y'all the best of prosperity and pleasure. I sure wish I could join you, but it's right when our school year is ending. For me to take a LOA then would mean the end of my job as a high school teacher. I'm wondering if I might get lucky with next year's dates. Does anyone know if dates have been set for Blade 2011 yet and what they are? If not, I wonder when the dates get set and made public?

Crossing my fingers, Phil
