Me thinks Babson may have over reacted...
Forecast for Boston

Saturday night : Windy with snow developing. Low 26F. Winds NE at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of snow 70%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph late.

Geesh folks, it's winter in New England.
(It ain't like it's the blizzard of 78:-)

I don't know, Frank. We've had forcasts of "little or no accumulation", and ended up with 17" of snow!

Besides, I'm glad it's been postponed because I couldn't have made it anyway because my car is lousy in the white stuff. On a scale of 1 to 10 it's something like -5 in traction!

Take care,

John

Is is about the same this morning, but after about midnight is when the heavy stuff falls, still 10-14 inch prediction.

Indrek is playing both Sat and Sun in two different venues.

I wouldn't want to have to move that big beautiful Estonia in that weather!


See you all next week!

I have plans in place for the long wknd (18th,19th,20th) So, now I have to decide on joining with family/friends up north OR gathering with piano comrades for a musical event which includes a pre-concert gathering!!!

I hate making decisions like this!

BBBWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

It's a no-brainer for dh... he will be heading north with or without me, along with the rest of my crew!!

I am opening the list of attendees for next weekend and would like to get confirmation from anyone who is going to try and make it, now that it is on a different date, and is NOT on the list below. We are happy Indrek Laul, himself, and John Totaro will be attending and would like to prepare a little bit more.

Confirmed for 2/18
-BeeLady, husband plus 1
-John Criton
-Lee Bea
-Frank, plus 1
-Larry
-Jeanne and Lloyd
-John Totaro and Indrek Laul
-Axtremus

If you aim to go to the Pre-Party and are not one of the above, please PM, or correspond in the thread. Sorry if I've forgotten anyone.

Terry and Stevetunes, sorry to hear of your conflict. Please, let us know which way it will work out.

Lizbeth, I understand you also have a conflict on the weekend coming up. If this is not the case, please PM or respond to the thread.

Chris W1
...Just about to go snow blow :rolleyes:

Chris, Axt is my plus one!

I do hope others are able to move things around to come! Liz was working on it and I am trying to convince Bernard to come up on the train.

Oh, Terry....Just Do It!

Looks like we (my wife and I) are coming this time and hope to make the Pre-Party if we can get an early start.

What's the forcast?!

We might get a chance to meet. They're calling for clear and cold so far for Saturday.

This is New England and forecasts change by the whim of Mother Nature.

John

Palley,

Won't be in attendence but will be working my Burlington store both days (if you get a chance)!

If you need directions, let me know.

Paul

Larry +1

I should be at Chris's as well...

I've made a decision to stick to my traditional weekend plans.


Chris, thank you for the pre-concert gathering invitation to your home. It's sure to be a huge success.

Everyone... enjoy the music and the friendships!!

Hope there will be lots of pics to post!

Cheers!!

We'll miss you!

Thanks for reminding me! I need to charge the camera!

It looks like I'll be coming solo, which means I'll have an extra ticket if anyone is interested.

Frank, Do you want me to set you up with a blind date?

Terry: We'll miss you!

Chris: We'll bring cheese and crackers and a bottle of wine. Sorry for the late update!

See everyone tonite.



Jeanne

Chris,

Is it still 5:30 at your place?

Larry

Yes, it is. Sorry not to confirm a time. We kept it the same as last week because the concert is staying on its 8PM schedule.

See you,
Chris

Many Thanks to Chris, his wife Helen and family for hosting a pre concert gathering of the the Piano World folks. Great food music and spirits.

Thank you Chris and Helen for the great time!

And thank you Larry for posting the pictures of this very wonderfuly evening. I didn't sleep a wink last night!

John

Another wonderful evening with wonderful people. Thanks to Chris and Helen for being such gracious hosts. Helen out did herself with the table spread! We have a new high standard to live up to! It was all so delicious.

Larry's photos are great, I can add just a few blurrier ones.. :p

We were thrilled to have Indrek join us at the party and give us a preconcert overview of the Beethoven he was to play later. Taking in his every word and note...John Citron, Helen's Mom, LeeBea, Helen, John Totaro, John's companion Nina.


The group...


palley, John Citron, ChrisW1's wife Helen, ChrisW1, Indrek Laul, Frank Baxter, BeeLady, JeanneW and LloydW. Down in front, Axtremus and Leebea. Larry Buck was so busy taking a photo, he forgot to get into one!

Indrek performing on the big beauty..


At intermission, the audience was invited to come up and view the piano before the movers took it away to the next venue. I think EVERYONE came up to take a look!
