    I heard on the radio today that a World Harpists' Convention or gathering of some sort is taking place in Vancouver this weekend.

    I assume Ming is there, so Merlin, you and he can fly together from Vancouver to BWI! Won't that be fun?!

    Hello fellow kitties Merlin here:
    Yes, I had to go away on a shopping trip for my and while I was downtown I ran into Ming. He's at home wif me right now and we are waiting on Meowmie to get home from w-u-r-k so we thought we should sneak on PT. Wow, you should see how big this harp is. Meowmie's gonna flip when she sees how much room it's taking up, but at least Ming can chime a few tunes and make her feel better.

    Ooops, the doorbell is ringing. Ming, can you get that please?

    OMG.......Will have to catch you later. I think Ming may have invited the whole convention over.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    So THAT is where Ming and his harp went off to! Well, at least he's in good company. Slick, isn't that harp HUGE? I don't know where I'm going to store it, the hall closet is already designated for the bagpipes. Why couldn't he have taken up the flute??

    What a nice picture of Ming and his harp! I bet he will wow them at the Irish festival.

    Hi fellow kitties,
    Sorry I haven't been around, it has been pretty busy around here this week. The Catmobile will be here tomorrow either late morning or early afternoon so we can get an early start. If anyone is coming in by the Amtrack, take it to Trenton and you'll be picked up at the station. As always, everyone is welcome to stay at my place until we're scheduled to leave. If you're coming into Newark Airport or the one in Philadelphia, be sure to call me on my cell phone so we'll know when and where to pick you up.

    My new fiddle sounds great now that I know how to tune it. Soncat says I'm getting pretty good at it and was he impressed when Charlie Daniels called to give me a few pointers.

    Pinot, I know how busy you've been planning this trip. Is there anything I can do to help? Do you think we should arrange for a trailer for Ming's harp and the larger instruments?

    Okay fellow kitties, we're officially in countdown. If you want to join us and haven't checked in, there's still time. Don't forget your sunglasses! The Haggis In A Hurry Shoppe will be giving discounts to each kitty when they display their tartan collar so don't forget to pack yours too.

    Your friend,

    Meowmie's sister's cat Nelson will be joining the party, as he is a real virtuoso on his bodhran (Irish single-handed drum, which is very hard to play without thumbs, but he does just fine with it ).

    He will be traveling with the Michigan pipers and dancer, and we can't wait for the Catmobile to swing by Ann Arbor on its way to Dublin, Ohio! Please keep us posted on your ETA.

    We are all so looking forward to getting together with the gang again and packing out the Ohio State stadium with thousands of brand-new bagpipe aficionados!

    We will be bringing along a Great-Dane-size doggie bag from the Haggis in a Hurry Shoppe for all to snack on for the rest of the trip. We all have new sunglasses in frames colored with our clan tartan designs.

    Hi dear Groucho,
    I'll arrive tonight at Newark and I have the limo service arranged again, so don't worry about me. I'll be staying at your place, if you don't mind, and I can help with the planning too, we can use the limo to pick up everyone at the airport or train station.. call me!

    See you later,
    Sophie
