I am not heading up north next week to join Diva now, so I may be able to attend this wingnight. Still trying to plan a little 4 day get away with Mr. Trix tho. But if we don't go I should make it. After all, I feel like since I was at the very first one there, I need to attend this one! And of course to see Rob and the rest of the clan again!
