What a great idea!

It's a chance to greet and meet Ben Gray and to see the amazing Idlewild.

It will also be an opportunity to meet other Listees, to put faces to 
the names we see on postings. If you're anywhere near Vancouver, put 
August 11 on your calendar for an afternoon of fun marking a 
significant achievement.

I've booked flights and will be there for sure.

Do we bring champagne or beer, Scott? Is this a shoreside party on 
the dock after Idlewild ties up or can we form a small flotilla to 
escort her in?
