Bobby,
Your question seems to have gone walkabout, but answering it anyway:
There's an opening reception at 17.30 on Wed 8 June.
There's a Social Hour at 17.45 on Thur 8 June, and another at 17.45 on Fri.
I guess any of these would be an opportunity to meet up, and I'll look out for you.
I'll post the final list of attendees tomorrow or Mon.
Best regards,
David

David,

I will make inquiries about where the June 8 thingy is located, and find out if they will let me in as a free visitor. I'll let you know.

David,

OK, good. (Will you be wearing a carnation or something?)

I'll be there, too--I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!

Unfortunately, I have word that you can remove Clay Stockton from the list. He won't be making it.

As, shod in Ecco boots you hike
through all the joys of poetry
remember sandal-wearers like
Mark, Peter, Janet and Henry.

In attics in the candle's glow
with shaking fingers we imbibe
the cheapest plonk because you know
we are the outcasts of the tribe.

(Terese, no malicious intent about Ecco boots. I felt a twinge of envy because I press my nose to the glass and yearn for them.)

The tribe of bankers, right?

Janet, there's a few of us here too... let's all stick together.

And Katy Evans-Bush in London
joins with us Aussies in feeling one-down
Solidarity Katy,

PS:
And let us not forget Norwegians
who live up in the Arctic regions.

Report from West Chester:

Lots of interesting conversations, great workshops, great faith and interest in the art of poetry. WCPC is now the largest poetry conference in the US.

Everyone is friendly, cheerful and chatty.

Last night there was a panel on Mchael Donoghy, telling a few stories and reading his poems. Then they played a recording of him reading for the Hudson Review, and it was good to hear him read.

Later, there was a gathering reception at an art gallery, lots of people there, many more than when I was here last.

I am taking lots of photos and will link them here when I get back so those who couldn't make it can see what some of the people look like.

Later, I don't have my glasses at this computer.
