Awww Loraine! Everything sounds just wonderful! Wish I were able to afford to be a part of it.....I'd held out hope but it didn't work out for this year. However, you have my sincerest wishes that you all have every bit as much fun, and more, at the Rollerblast as we all did at the Rave and can't wait to hear about your fun, the music, and see the fantastic pics that will come out of it. Not much longer now, is it? -- Rollerblast 2002

[> [> [> Only about three hours away but the Rave bit a hunk into my budget. Getting there wouldn't be a problem but the Fest fee and the hotel expense would be. I missed the registration deadline, too. I'd hoped my sons might be able to help me out a l'il but they helped me so much for Rave that I just couldn't ask them again. But, omg! Y'all have a slammin' time! Please do! And do let us all know about all the highlights when you get back! -- Shirley, 10:32:52 07/03/02 Wed
